Sweet! Eric is batting leadoff. Buck Coats is in the lineup as well, batting 9th.

 

I'm glad AFL is underway. :)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Gooz has a rough 3rd, gives up 2 ER on 4 H. Of the four hits he gave up, though, 2 were IF singles (2 were line doubles) and he struck out Stephen Drew.

 

Guzman finishes with 4 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 5 K, 0 BB.

 

Buck Coats got a single in his 2nd AB.

[JGalt73]

Anyone know why Koronka is on the AFL roster? Doesn't seem like he has much big league potential to me.

[Brian]

Sing is 3/4 and Coats is 2/4 :wtg:

[Jon]

Mesa lost 8-7. Final lines:

 

2B Eric Patterson: 1/5, SB (1), 2 K

1B Brandon Sing: 3/4, 3 2B (3), RBI (1), BB, K

SS Buck Coats: 2/5, 2B (1), RBI (1)

SP Angel Guzman: 4 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 5/0

Updates like this would be appreciated throughout the season. Thanks fellas.

 

Anyone know if a player is keeping a diary like Harris did a couple of years ago?

No Walks! Get Healthy and Stay Healthy, ANGEL!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

DH Brandon Sing (batting 5th) is 0/3 (with a BB, a K, popout to SS and a flyout to RF). David Aardsma got roughed up again: 3 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K.

 

MiLB.com actually has MLB.com Gamecasts for some of their AZL games including the one tonight.

[don_kessinger_was_good]

Aardsma is quickly pitching his way into non-prospect land a-la Jon Leicester. Maybe Shipman should have gone to the AFL instead.

[Brian]

Is there anyone in the AFL with more MLB experience than Murton?

No clue, but he's got to be amongst the leaders. Hopefully he starts today - he got to Mesa yesterday.

Koronka pitched 1 inning: H, BB, 2K

 

Murton was in LF: 2-4, BB, 2B

 

EPatt lead off: 0-4, BB, RBI

Those guys are just clogging the basepaths.... [-X

 

(I jest)

 

No, can I listen to the AFL anywhere? I'd gotten into a nice routine of putting on Minor League games on radio as I went to sleep, and it would be a nice way of continuing that.

 

(Apologies if this is already covered somewhere)

Some AFL games are broadcasted on radio and video, all have an MLB.com-style Gamecast.

 

Tuesday's (today's) Mesa game will be on audio/video (4 pm ET). Sadly, Angel Guzman is slated to pitch on Wednesday (according to my calculations), and Mesa's game won't be broadcasted that day.

This kid can hit.

[Marco4]

Cheers - I realised how stupid my overlooking MiLB.com was almost as soon as I'd posted it.

[JGalt73]

Murton is continuing to hit, and well.

 

3/4 with 3 doubles!, a BB and a K so far.

 

I know it's 11AB's but, an OPS of 1.896 is still fun to see.

Eric Patterson is 2/6 with an RBI, and a fielding error.
