both stories on the website. Ryan should be here by gametime tonight. Not in todays lineup. Should be interesting to see how Norwood & Canzler (12 hits in his last 7 games) share the 1b and DH duties... They gotta do something with Dopirak to figure out all these 1st baseman!

nope. i dont believe the player we are getting is switching positions at all.

no and no.

happened after the DH monday. We are 2 down heading into tonights game. We do have a pending arrival from Daytona for tomorrow's game here in Cedar Rapids.... I can't say who, but any guesses?

Shaver and Roquet to Daytona. Well deserved for Rocky. I believe Avery and Grant Johnson are now in AA. Miguel Cuevas is added to our roster for the Monday DH and we will get another starter before Thursday which would have been Shaver's next start.

Shaver & Pina...not Carrillo

Not all that surprising...neither is Atkins putting up strong numbes yet again. He is easily the most underrated pitcher in the system. I thought he was our best last year...

Snappers Cf/LF Danny Santiesteban is a ^$*#&^&$ (punk) . So is their pitching coach. threw 2 forearms at Lalli on the play at the plate...then aimed for Malone's knee on an inning ending forceout at 2nd. June 2nd could be a lot of fun :)

Um Yusuf DH'd today...That was Camp that threw the guy out at the plate...

well i wouldnt say he looks 14 but, yes he looks young. skinny too. listed at 165. plus change, good curve. threw both for strikes. made 1 mistake. he missed on the pitch to Parmelee for the double that was supposed to be out and away but it was down and in and he turned on it pulling it into the RF corner for a 2-run 2b. no walks, good control. I look forward to seeing him pitch on Thursday at home and see consistency. god knows we need it in our rotation these days. 11 starters in 40 games is not a good thing!

yes. Shaver is Monday against Lansing at home...

yea. it was during the stretch so I missed it....fans stnading in front of me I couldnt see the discussion

Carter is usually in CF, in right tonight with Camp in CF getting malone in the game. He overran the first flare to right trying to pick it up and throw to3rd on 1 motion. He dropped it for an obvious error as the hitter moved to 2nd (the runner on first would have made 3rd anyway). The 2nd error was a brutal call but yet another incompetent MWL umpire.... Hernandez lived up the hype in my mind and i look forward to Thursday night at home... You're sounding good on the air, sir! thanks man, I appreciate it!!

I dont know when, but when we talked to some of the guys in Daytona yesterday, they did say that Koerber is moving to the rotation so him starting tonight is a good possibility. Taking Blackford's spot as Todd is on the DL.

It will be Maestri.Come up and say hi if you want. Saturday's starter will be Robert Hernandez. He joined us today. Mike Billek was released by the Cubs.

Shouldn't it be 3 earned runs? I mean, the first error was Samardzija's. Does that matter? No, it doesn't. If the person who reached on an error by the pitcher comes around to score, it's still an unearned run. I've always thought they should change that. But this was an errant pickoff throw (granted there's a chance that the runner would score from second without the errant pickoff throw, but it was a pretty hard hit RBI single). Well, usually in that case, the home team's scorer makes the call. I think it could really go either way. But if it was with 2 outs and the guy reached on a base hit and then advanced to 2nd on the error, I'd probably rule it an "unearned" run, simply because he would not have scored on a base hit if the errant throw did not happen. Obviously I didnt see the game but having seen many with similar situations, here is my take on it... With Jackson Brennan batting, throwing error by Jeff Samardzija on the pickoff attempt, Neil Walton to 2nd. Jackson Brennan grounds out, pitcher Jeff Samardzija to first baseman Kyle Reynolds. Neil Walton to 3rd. Hunter Vick singles on a line drive to center fielder Tyler Colvin. Neil Walton scores. On the groundout, had there not been an error, Brennan would have gone to 2nd (an official scorer is NOT ALLOWED to assume a double play and you can only assume an out at 1st, not a FC out). Then it is in the scorer's judgement if the runner would have scored from 2nd on the single that happened by Vick. With 2 outs, and as long as it isnt a catcher running, it is a pretty safe assumption, especially at the A level when it takes a perfect throw and tag combo to get a guy at the plate. 98 % of the time, a run in this situation is going to be earned whether it is fair or not, it is an earned run based on the rules handed down by MLB on what you can and can't assume!

Where did you get this from????? From a friend, I take it it's not true? My bad. :oops: the Dylan part is not true....he should be back in the lineup tmw. I see, I'll go yell at him. Malone is coming up though? --- How has Shaver looked? Im not at liberty to answer question 1. Shaver looked good. threw a lot of strikes. Mixed speeds well.

very true. Sunday both games of the DH. Rosario did so Friday in Dayton and Saturday in Wisconsin.

here is his 2007 day by day for South Bend. we didnt see him cause he had already gone down the day before the series began...

Renshaw has been our best and most consistent starter. He has a hitch in his delivery which is deceptive. He was awesome last night against a top hitting dayton squad. Established his fastball in various locations for strikes. Then got the slider over for strieks too which allowed him to expand the zone on all thier hitters and make Stubss, Valaika and Francisco look foolish at the plate. He mizes speeds nicely and has a good hard slider. With Dolis out fo who knows how long and Muldowney just now coming back, Renshaw has grabbed the reins as this team's ace and shutdown starter. The entire team is very confident with him on the mound and it shows...

Unfortunately it probably is as serious as it sounds. I don't expect good news on Monday but we can still hope!
