OVERALL: 1-7

Probable Starters:

 

Iowa: LHP Jason Stanford (overall in minors: 8-6, 4.50 ERA, 90 IP, 49 K/37 BB)

Tennessee: RHP Mark Holliman (Tenn & Iowa: 2-5, 4.88 ERA, 83 IP, 62 K/50 BB)

Daytona: LHP Jeremy Papelbon (1-1, 3.34 ERA, 56.2 IP, 44 K/23 BB)

Peoria: RHP Jon Lieber (rehab; at Mesa: 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 3 IP, 1 K/0 BB)

Boise: RHP Israel Camacaro (0-0, 5.87 ERA, 30.2 IP, 20 K/18 BB) & RHP Ryan Searle (at Mesa: 1-0, 1.13 ERA, 8 IP, 9 K/0 BB)

Mesa: RHP Julio Peña (3-0, 2.63 ERA, 27.1 IP, 16 K/6 BB) & RHP Toby Matchulat (0-0, 9.00 ERA, 11 IP, 12 K/16 BB)

 

Mesa starters are best guesses.

 

Camacaro will start with Searle piggybacking.

[NCCubFan]

Any chance that Hill will start for Daytona instead since he didn't start tonight? I never saw an explanation for why he didn't.

He was placed on Daytona's DL today with back spasms.

I want an iron-clad guarantee on the Mesa starters for once. Say "The Mesa starters are (blank) and you can take that to the damn bank."

I did that on August 1st. You can take Larry Suarez to the damn bank tomorrow.

What kind of stuff does Searle have? He's an Aussie, right?

[Guest]

What kind of stuff does Searle have? He's an Aussie, right?

 

FB, slider, curve and change per a Scout article when he signed in 2007 - slider is his best secondary pitch and the change is his weakest. Yes, he's Australian.

Any idea what his velocity looks like?

Any word on FB Velo?

[Guest]

Nope, I'm hoping to find out what his velocity is like tonight. Plus, I'm hoping to find out what his reportoire is like now - those pitches were what he threw when he signed in January 2007 - he's sure to have progressed since then.

any truth to the rumors that his slider spins backwards like their toilets

[Guest]

Jeremy Papelbon came into the game with 21.2 consectuive scoreless innings and he's gone 3 shutout thus far today.

 

Tony Thomas hasn't played since Saturday.

Mesa's Nelson Perez was amongst the July home run leads in all of the minors.

 

• Perez, 20, has 27 strikeouts and just three walks and is repeating the Rookie-level Arizona League. Still, he leads the AZL in home runs with all nine of them coming in July. He’s also hitting for average at .328.

[Guest]

Lieber struggled: 3 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, HR. Gave up a 2-run HR to Mike Moustakas.

 

So did Robert Hernandez in relief of Lieber: 3 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, HR. Gave up a 2-run HR to Mike Moustakas.

 

Jovan Rosa hit his 6th HR of the year, also has a walk.

[abohnhoff]

Pie out of the lineup again for Iowa. Hoffpauir with a double, homerun, and 4 RBI's. Dubois is 2 for 2 with a run scored. Iowa is up 7-4, bottom of 5.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Anyone know how Samson is defensively? Two more hits for him tonight.

 

And Mike Moustakas is in a bit of a hot streak. He was OPSing 1.700+ in August before tonight, and all he's done tonight is hit a pair of home runs.

[Guest]

Anyone know how Samson is defensively? Two more hits for him tonight.

 

He's racked up the errors (don't know the count); don't know much about his range or arm.

 

Hernandez struck out 2 more in a nice 1-2-3 8th inning: 5 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 5 K.

 

Apparently both of Moustakas' HRs were mammoth shots.

[Guest]

Matchulat does get the start for Mesa.

[TruffleShuffle]

is harben still on the 40 man roster? he's terrible.

[Outshined_One]

Anyone know how Samson is defensively? Two more hits for him tonight.

 

He'll stick at SS, but needs some more coaching and repetitions, imo.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Vitters with an RBI single for Boise in the 1st. He was caught stealing at 2nd(0 for 3 on the year). Camacaro gave up 4 in the bottom half of the inning.

[radarluv1]

thats not good. will he be called up in sept or is that a waste of time?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Flaherty with a 2 run home run. He and Vitters are both 1 for 2. Flaherty also committed his 8th error in 29 games.

[Guest]

Searle: 3 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 8 GO-1 FO.
