You're old news, brah.

[Guest]

Chiefs win 7-1. Loon players standing on the top step of the dugout, continuing to jaw with Chief players as they congratulate each other on the win.

Wow, Peoria is 21-5 over their last 26 games.

 

According to MiLB.com, the weather at Peoria's game was:

 

Weather: 75 degrees, snow.

 

:-s

[Vinestal]

Wow, Peoria is 21-5 over their last 26 games.

 

It seems like they have alot of guys playing there that should be at a higher level, but I feel the same way about Mesa.

[UMFan83]

I don't know who this Willis guy is, but he needs to stop making the last out of the inning in front of Soriano.

 

If only the Cubs could go 21-5 over a 26 game stretch. That would put us at 79-45 :mrgreen:

Sure, Contreras, Hoorelbeke and Jones should probably be in Boise but I'm not exactly sure who you'd move up from Peoria.

[Guest]

Mesa had been averaging 11.6 runs a game in their last 6 but they have just 1 through 4 innings today. I blame Soriano.

[E.J.]

Soriano with a walk in his 3rd at-bat. :shock:

[Guest]

And he ends up scoring on a Starlin Castro 2-run HR.

 

0 for 2, R, BB, K

With a name like "Hoorelbeke", you better be good, ot your just asking for trouble.

Aaron Shafer is making his pro debut in the 5th inning for Mesa.

[El Rojito]

And he ends up scoring on a Starlin Castro 2-run HR.

Take away that "r" and that's quite a doozy of a name.

[THE RIOT]

Yes, my favorite cubs farm arm is going today! go Billy!

[Guest]

Not a bad debut for Shafer:

 

GO 3-unassisted.

FO-9.

BB.

E-1. Errant pickoff throw, runner to third base.

K swinging.

 

1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.

[Vinestal]

I wonder if there is anyway we'll get a report on Shafer's velocity today, thats my main concern with him, I guess i shouldn't expect it to be there right away, but if he can get back in the low to mid 90s it sure would be nice.

We can hope that AZ Phil is at the game and does a blog on it later. :wink:

Brandon Guyer, who was OPSing around .770 on July 1st (132 at bats) is now up to .279/.349/.521/.870, sparked by a 1.081 OPS in July.

[UMFan83]

Looks like Soriano's day is done. He was lifted for a PH in the 6th. 0-2, BB, K, R

[UMFan83]

Wait....from Will Carroll's chat:

 

Shae (Chicago): Will, there are rumors that Soriano might leave the rehab. game early and could even play tonight, what's the latest?

 

Will Carroll: That's what I'm hearing. I have someone at Sky Harbor watching ...

[Little Slide Rooter]

I wonder if they put him on a bus to Phoenix.

[E.J.]

I'm guessing we might see Soriano tonight since he didn't play the whole game for Mesa.

meh, thats dissapointing. Whats to keep guys from just pitching around Soriano in these games anyway, Im sure he's probably looked at as the most dangerous bat in the lineup. Im guessing he's gonna need a couple more games before he's ready.
