Here's hoping Concepcion can at least get that K/BB ratio over 1.

Rizzo is supposed to be back in the starting lineup tonight, fwiw

[JockJones]

Rizzo not in the lineup.

[rawaction]

Wait. Iowa is playing a doubleheader today?

[rawaction]

Jackson 1-2 with an RBI single (out trying to get to 2nd on the throw to the plate). Grounded out in the 1st.

 

Vitters lined out to SS.

 

And as was stated, Rizzo NOT in the lineup. Maybe for the 2nd game?

Yeah.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Don't look know, but Josh Vitters' OPS is a tick under .800 and steadily rising.

[THISisTHEyear09]

At the Tennessee game, Eric Jokisch pitching pretty well (besides the walks). His change gets batters really out in front, a lot of ground out. Sitting behind Tennessee pitchers up in the stands charting the game. I believe I saw one pitch at 92, most are 89-90.

Dolis struck out Will Myers to end the first Iowa game.

Using the term quality start loosely though.

0-3 so far :(

[Irrelevant Dude]

JJax is awful.

 

6 ER on 7 hits (2 home runs) through 2 IP.

[El Duderino]

Why he's still starting is beyond me.

[rawaction]

Torreyes went deep tonight. That's good to see.

[rawaction]

Iowa being no-hit thru 5 by Royals top prospect Mike Montgomery. Royals #2 prospect Wil Myers is leading the offense with a 3-run HR.

No hitter broken up in style....BRETT JACKSON BOMB to RF!

[Rizzo Smash]

Brett Jackson HR

Wasn't he decent in his time in the pen this year?

 

And who the deuce is Shane Lindsay, and why do they refuse to promote Cabrera, Hatley, Rhoderick, or Batista instead of scraping these carcasses off the sidewalk?

well, of course he did...Montgomery's a lefty

[El Duderino]

Brett Jackson somehow put up an .826 OPS in May despite looking like a pitcher at the plate for a week and a half.
