There we go.

DeVoss singles and Saunders doubles him in. Baez with an RBI sac fly in his first at bat. Soler followed it up with a single to CF. Soler picked off, Bruno walks and Geiger grounds out, 6-3.

[ctcf]

Pierce Johnson begins the year with a strikeout. Then gets Carlos Correa to ground out and strikes out the third batter. 1-2-3 first inning with 2 K's

[davell]

Arguello is there and says Candelario is in great shape. Man, its awesome to have this back......

[Guest]

Wells - 2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2-1 GO-FO

[Guest]

Baez will lead off the bottom of the third.

[davell]

He may be getting hit, but I like seeing the K's out of Wells.

[davell]

A throwing error by Marco has helped lead to 2 runs in the 2nd against PJ. Still batting.

[Guest]

Johnson 90-92 per Arguello.

[Guest]

Yikes - Quad Cities gets 5 off Johnson in the second.

 

Wells gave up a run in the 3rd.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Baez with a swinging K and Soler with a 5-3 in their second ABs.

A throwing error by Marco has helped lead to 2 runs in the 2nd against PJ. Still batting.

He'd already given up a run and had the bases loaded before the error.

[rawaction]

Tony Cigriani for the Reds AAA team struck out 16 batters thru 7 before losing his no hitter to start the 8th. 13Ks thru first 5 innings on 62 pitches.

[Guest]

Johnson's final line: 2.1 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 4 K. Justin Amlung relieved Johnson.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Wells is done after 4 innings and 70 pitches.

[23sharks]

Nice of you guys to post this info. Come home, get to check in one spot and get caught up. Much appreciated

[Guest]

I'm headed out of the office now. Will update the OP tonight when the games go final.

@CubsDen 2m

 

Rock Shoulders 2 run shot!

 

Baez with another K.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Alcantara just hit a 2-run homer.

[davell]

If his power from last year carries over, he's got a serious chance at skyrocketing up the prospect lists.

[davell]

Brett HBP in his 1st AB. Facing lefty Steven Fife, who has had a stint with the Dodgers. Decent test for Brett.

[craig]

Beeler picking right up. 6 hits and 3 HR in the first four innings.

[ctcf]

BJax got the inaugural K out of the way.

[davell]

Brett wound up with 2 K's in 5 PA. So, what K% is acceptable at this point, before we think he's got a legit shot at being our longterm CFer? 20% in AAA, is my target, I think.......

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

What was it last year in Iowa? Over 30?

 

20 would be a minor miracle.
