Tough break for Boise: they'll be without RHPs Carlos Martinez and Juan Paniagua, SS Carlos Penalver and OFs Jeffrey Baez and Yasiel Balaguert for games two and (if necessary) game three in Vancouver due to passport or visa issues.

 

Idaho Statesman[/url]"]“The two Cubans are a totally different animal,” he said. “They escaped their country for freedom, and their passport and visa issue is very complex, and there’s nothing you can really do there. The other guys had their passports expire while they were here, so they have to go back to their country in person to get their passport renewed. They can’t just get it sent.

 

“Penalver, for example, has an appointment when he gets home to have his passport renewed, and then when he comes back for instructional league, he’ll be fine. But it’s not a quick trip.”

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Don't think they'll miss Paniagua.

[davell]

Losing Penalver right now really hurts. He had put up a .900 OPS in August. I think I'll give him serious consideration for my top 30.

[Guest]

Obviously Balaguert is the biggest loss.

[Guest]

Baez with a HR in the first.

[davell]

Yep.

Baez with a HR in the first.

God I wish I could watch these games in HD instead of the Cubs.

[chattbaseball]

Pineryo strikes out the side in the top of the first.

 

Vogelbach RBI double bottom of first.

 

This Daytona team sure has been fun to follow. Up 1-0 after 1.

[ctcf]

Pineyro has struck out 5 of his first 6. Man Daytona's pitching has been freaking ridiculous.

[UMFan83]

Baez with a HR in the first.

 

*yawn* only one so far?

The return for Scott Hairston, ladies and gentlemen.

Part of me thinks that's why Rizzo intercepted DeJesus from us being able to deal him to Tampa.

[davell]

7 3 0 0 1 7 final line for Pineyro.

[imb]

2-4, 2 runs, 2 rbi and a homer for Baez. He's gotta start at AAA next year, right?

[davell]

Yeah, they'll put him in position to where if he does well, they can bring him up after the service time deadline passes. I don't see any other scenario unfolding actually.

[TruffleShuffle]

7 3 0 0 1 7 final line for Pineyro.

 

daytona's pitching has been nails in the postseason. (knock on wood)

 

frank del valle gets out of a bases loaded jam in the 9th and the d-cubs win 2-0. need to win one game in port charlotte, where games 3-5 are scheduled.

 

edit - daytona's team ERA after four postseason games: 0.00

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I cannot believe they got Pineyro for Scott Hairston.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Don't we still have a PTBNL of some sort coming our way for him as well; then again, at this point, even Jed and Theo have likely lost track of the number of PTBNL or Cash owed from various minor transactions.

He has a great glove.

Not just in the postseason.

 

They are 17-2 in their last 19 games...have given up 2.5 runs per game over that stretch, and if you take out the second game of that stretch where they gave up 10, they've given up 2.1 per game.

 

EVEN BETTER. Pretty much EVERYONE is available to go tomorrow night. Because of the PPD game last night, Corey Black is available again, along with starters Kyler Burke, Yao-Lin Wang, and every reliever except Searle and del Valle.

 

My guess is they go back to Corey Black. Then you have Burke and Wang available if needed depending on situation.

 

Not Available

CJ Edwards (could go an inning if absolutely needed)

Ryan Searle

Ivan Pineryo

Frank del Valle

 

Hopefully they can get the sweep.

[Quakers]

Obviously Balaguert is the biggest loss.

 

I would disagree. The Hawks can fill the outfield void. Lockhart is nowhere as good defensively at short.

[TruffleShuffle]

since daytona lead the series 2-0 and are not in a must-win situation, i assume they will hold cj edwards and pierce johnson for games 4/5, assuming that they are okay with pitching each on 4 days rest.
