Jake Stinnett promoted to Boise.

Pierce with a 26 pitch first inning with 3 Ks and a BB. Inning was prolonged by a Villanueva error, though.

[Vinestal]

Iowa under a rain delay?

Nm app just isn't updating for some reason

Pierce Johnson last 19.0 IP: 7 H, 0 R, 6 BB, 25 K. Of course he's thrown 90 pitches thru 4 and is probably done tonight.

Yea kinda a blah night for him although the defense certainly didn't do him any favors.

Bryant is really making up for those few K-less games he had. Him, Soler, and Russell are all ice cold and I HATE IT!

McKinney almost didn't get an RBI tonight. Waited until the 9th, but extended his RBI streak to 852 games in a row.

Not a lot to tweet from tonight's Daytona game. Skulina's velo way down at 85-90 & Schwarber was terrible in LF. Rock Shoulders is here tho.

@kileymcd Do you think Schwarber (in the next couple years) can at least be acceptable in LF given the bat value?

 

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd · 4h

 

.@TheBlogfines this is the first time I've seen him out there. Laterally, not great. Fine at first and once a week at C. Will find a fit.

Early years Ryan Doumit was a pretty good guy to have around, despite his limitations.

Yeah, but still diminishes his value a bit if he is not at catcher. I really, really want that to stick but having doubts.

[Guest]

I honestly wouldn't evaluate Schwarber at all. He's just getting reps in this year. He's going to get lots of coaching this winter. We'll see what he can do next year. Also that report was just one dude's opinion.
