    That's what I'm hoping; I'd love to get a chance to see him. :)

    I take back the Maddux portion of my rant. The rest stands. I dunno ... I'm one of the few remaining Maddux fans (and I must admit to not seeing a game for the past week), but "cobwebs?" He's never really pitched well at GABP; that's about the best to expect for a day game with high heat. But Maddux will pretty much always say whatever he's supposed to say. I would guess that he probably was spent after 79 pitches in 5 innings. I'm still a little surprised that he'd say that. Really ... did he look like he was about to collapse from heat exhaustion??? :?:

    I'm in Japan and it's working ok, so it's not an Axis & Allies problem. 8)

    If you look down a couple of threads to the "search error" thread, there are some tips on how to work around the error. Hopefully, that will help until a solution is reached.

    #17. Grant had a nice game. 5.2 IP, 2 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. He had them hitless through 4, then gave up the one run in the 5th on a one-out double, followed later by a two-out infield single. Not bad! Too bad that bullpen troubles continue for Peoria.

    ...Grant Johnson off to a good start through 4 innings...

    Better late than never ... from the Peoria Journal-Star: Since O'Brien Field opened during the 2002 season, the Chiefs had 244 games at the ballpark without anyone hitting a home run over the hitting background beyond the center-field wall. ... After going 146 at-bats between homers, Flowers added what was believed to be the longest home run in O'Brien history in the third. "That's about as hard as you can hit it," Flowers said. "It was a nice, easy stroke and the ball had a different feel coming off the bat." Facing right-hander Michel Simard, Flowers crushed a solo shot that center fielder Richard Giannotti never even pursued. "It took off like an airplane, on a straight line without any hump on it at all," Granato said. Estimated at 500 feet, Flowers' sixth homer of the season carried over the hitting background beyond the center-field wall. The wall stands 400 feet from the plate and is 12 feet high. The black background rises 40 feet above the wall.

    Welcome to the forums! :) And you're banned. :wink:

    Thanks for all the thoughtful answers! It would be great if the radio broadcasts were synched in on the game dvds. (don't ask how I know they aren't) 8-[

    What a day for Eric! From the Chiefs website: :shock: WHOA! That must have been a BLAST! I've never seen a HR to straight-away CF at O'Brien Field (small sample size). Chiefs site has it listed as 400 ft to dead CF, and Nathan mentions in his Q&A above: Sounds like his other homerun was hit to the picnic plaza in RF. And: "He was robbed of a double by a leaping third baseman in his second at-bat." http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DJAXXFAN/broom.jpg Obviously, we need a Peoria Chiefs street-sweeper. :)
  12. Laura
    Chiefs going for the sweep!

    It would be remiss not to give Bo Flowers some love for a 3-5 night with 2 HRs (one grand slam) and 5 RBI! =D>
  14. Laura
    Tremendous. He gave up a double as the only extra-base hit, and according to the game log, two of the five singles were of the infield variety. His SLG-against is fantastic. (uh, so is the OPSvs, which I wrote first). Nice to see the Peoria rotation rolling right now. 8)

    I'll say it here pending the announcement in the general forums, which I'll probably miss -- CONGRATS to Djaxx -- you really drove this effort, and I think it's a great idea, a great cause, and it's something that's already paying dividends beyond just the broadcast booth opportunity. And congrats to everyone who stepped up and volunteered extra $$ or time or auction items -- let's face it, we rock! :) Job well done!! =D>

    What's cool at Chiefs games is that it sounds like you can still just hang out on the concourse once you get booted. I wasn't listening when that play happened, but Baliva was saying later that it was the wierdest call he had seen in a long time. The ump basically just made up a rule at random and applied it. Did Garcia's getting tossed LIGHT A FIRE under the Chiefs??
  17. Laura
    NOES! The Chiefs have a hard enough time winning with him in the lineup! =; (I would like to see him in Daytona soon.)

    Make that 3 walks for Eric Patterson now. :)

    Nolen pitches 5 innings of shutout baseball -- 2 hits, 4Ks, 0BBs. Victor Ramos in now. An exciting attempted steal of home was foiled by the Chiefs in the top of the 6th (before I tuned in the broadcast ... of course). RBI double for Harvey; 2nd HR for Aaron Smith. Harvey's HR the other night tied him for the current MWL lead with 15. Chiefs 3-0 into the bottom of the 7th. Jonathon Douillard with his first pro home run, 4-0 Chiefs to the 9th. Chiefs win 4-0! Very nice start by Nolen! =D> ETA (from the Chiefs game summary): Nolen is now 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in ten innings against Cedar Rapids on the season. :)

    per the Chiefs website.

    Thanks!

    Maybe from the draft class? The Peoria Star-Journal has previously referred to BA's organizational draft class prospect ratings as overall organizational prospect ratings as if they're interchangeable (Gallagher was mentioned as having the best curveball in the system before, when BA reference was actually to the '04 draft class). It's easy to confuse.

    The Peoria matchup: RH Walt Nolen (6-3, 4.86) vs. RH Fernando Rodriguez(5-4, 4.86 ERA) From the Chiefs website. This would be the first game Nolen has started this season for Peoria. Shaver's turn is due; I'm not sure why he's not starting. ETA, d'oh, yesterday's game summary explains.
  24. Laura
    There was a recent article about Sam Fuld in the Peoria Journal-Star that talked about his recovery from his shoulder injury.
  25. Laura
    HRs for Ryan Harvey (15) and Eric Patterson (6), but Peoria loses 9-5. Blevins gives up 3 runs in 4 innings of relief, but also strikes out 7. Box is now showing that Johnson allowed 4 ERs (not 5).
