OVERALL: 1-2

[Outshined_One]

Starting tomorrow, Tennessee begins what has to be one of the worst stretches of games I've ever seen any team at any level undergo. From May 22nd to May 29th, Tennessee will play 12 games as a result of four double headers. What's worse is the fact that their next day off is June 10th.

 

In other words, prepare to see a ton of pitcher movement in the next few days to accommodate Tennessee's rotation and bullpen needs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Does the minor leagues have a players union, because I cant see them allowing that.

Probable Pitchers

 

Iowa: RHP Mitch Atkins (2-4, 7.71 ERA, 44.1 IP, 40 K/18 BB)

Tennessee: RHP Marcos Mateo (Tennessee & Daytona: 1-1, 2.36 ERA, 26.2 IP, 19 K/10 BB)

Daytona (game one): RHP Rafael Dolis (1-3, 3.14 ERA, 28.2 IP, 25 K/19 BB)

Daytona (game two): LHP James Leverton (2-4, 6.27 ERA, 37.1 IP, 24 K/18 BB)

Peoria: RHP Chris Archer (1-0, 1.80 ERA, 25 IP, 30 K/18 BB)

Brad Snyder is out 4-6 weeks with a broken left hand (from a HBP). OF Richie Robnett was promoted from Tennessee to Iowa. RHP Jesse Estrada was sent down to Tennessee from Iowa.

I was going to say doesnt Tenn have a better option than Robnett, but between Adduci, Robnett, Ty Wright, and Guyer, theyve all been brutal offensively.

If they had a players union they wouldn't get paid less than minimum wage for their minor league career.The players in extended spring training play 12 inning games 6 days a week and don't even get a paycheck. They get $18 a day for food and a double occupancy room at the Best Western.

Both Daytona games today were cancelled due to heavy rains and unplayable field conditions. These games will not be made up.

Looks like Jae-Hoon Ha had a good game. Ditto Jericho Jones.

[RammyFanny]

Archer loads them up with nobody out and get's out of it unscaved with three strikeouts in the innings (one was a dropped third that they reached on).

[RammyFanny]

Harrison goes deep! The man is on fire!

 

Against Robles too, who has some amazing numbers so far (52 K's in 37 innings).

[Guest]

Marquez Smith doubles and scores on a Brandon Guyer RBI double. Tennessee down 2-1 after 2. Guyer is creeping closer to the Mendoza line.

 

Mateo: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K.

[RammyFanny]

Vitters K's on a foul tip that was held onto.

[Guest]

Marcos Mateo falling apart in the 3rd. He gave up a solo HR to Jordan Danks and a 2-run HR to Gordon Beckham.

 

First 5 hitters in the inning have gotten on.

[RammyFanny]

Archer with 5 K's through a scoreless 2 innings.

[Guest]

Mateo: 3 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 HR. (50 pitches)

 

At least he has good control today. :?

[Guest]

Mateo leaves the game after loading the bases in the 4th inning (1 on a Marquez Smith error). Todd Blackford comes in and gets 2 Ks to get out of the jam.

 

Mateo's final line: 3.1 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 HR, 6 GO-2 FO (63 pitches)>

[Guest]

And Archer is at 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.

 

Nice to see the control going fine through 3 at least.

[RammyFanny]

Add another scoreless and another K to that line for Archer.

[CubColtPacer]

Marquez Smith continues his hot hitting with his 3rd home run while with Tennessee. That puts his line with the Smokies at .338/.348/.585.

[CubColtPacer]

Vitters goes deep with his 8th of the season.
