I'll be sitting in my company's suite for the Smokies game in Mobile tonight. Hopefully, they will be able to play, but it's raining presently.

Jung's 2011 debut wasn't bad outside of the walks: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 K, 3 BB on an unofficial 65 pitches.

 

Chiefs lose 3-2 in extras.

i'm assuming bristow is piggybacking and not in full pen duty?

[ChiefsVoice]

I was told they are NOT a piggyback tandem and that Bristow is just in our bullpen like Harman, Antigua, Shafer and Gonzalez

[Guest]

Wallach finally having a good game - 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K.

 

Nelson Perez with another HR.

thanks. A part of me is disappointed, considering how promising Bristow looked as a starter 2 years ago, but there's another part of me that's sort of like, let's see what sort of value we can get out of Bristow, and he could move fast as a pen arm.

is he worth watchimg?

[fiver]

Brett Jackson struck out three times last night, going 1-4 with a walk. He saw quite a few pitches. I'm far from a scout, but he seemed to have a decent approach at the plate. I didn't realize that LeMahieu was so tall. I believe he played SS while at LSU, but he was at third last night. I'm a little surprised he hasn't developed more power than he has at this stage. Rebel Ridling is a little old for AA, but he's been hitting the ball well for the Smokies this year. We have two catchers at AA, Steve Clevinger and a young guy..Blake Lali who are hitting the ball well so far this year. Lali pinch hit late in the game and came through with an RBI single. Vitters played 1B last night..didn't look great at the plate but did get an RBI on a groundout.

 

The pitcher who impressed me the most last night with his raw 'stuff' was Rafael Dolis. He pitched two inning of relief and was dealing the first inning he pitched. He had some problems in the second inning he pitched, walked a guy, was wild in the strike zone, gave up a couple of hits, and was hurt by an error. However, his fastball and slider were both impressive from my vantage point, field level, behind home plate.

I'm assuming you were being sarcastic when you refered to Blake Lalli as a young guy. I'm not exactly sure how old he is, but I believe his college roommate was Gil Hodges.

[TruffleShuffle]

actually i think it was bryan lahair.

How did Cabrera look?

 

The first run was scored as a result of two ground balls that found holes in the infield coupled with a fielding error by the short stop. The HR he allowed was very much wind aided. Overall though, he was hit pretty hard and often. It's difficult to judge from 5IP, but he didn't strike me as someone who is going to be successful at the major league level soon. I was much more impressed with Dolis, even though he also struggled the second inning he pitched.

Wallach finally having a good game - 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K.

 

Nelson Perez with another HR.

 

is he worth watchimg?

I don't think so. Seems like he has good raw power, but he's somewhat old and has no concept of the strikezone.

The raw power is probably the best on the farm but I agree. The problem is this is keeping him away from converting to a pitcher. As a LHP, he can hit 95.

Perez bats left, but throws right.
