    It sounded like he was using his changeup more frequently tonight and got at least one K with it. The three doubles are the most XBH he's allowed in a game so far this season. His BAA is up to .276, 42 hits allowed, 35 singles / 6 doubles / 1HR. ERA 1.96 / WHIP 1.23 / FO-GO 17-51 / K-BB 43-9. :( The good relay throw in the 9th was Weston - Simokaitis - Rick (I thought it was Fuld). Actually, he got at least 2 with the change.

    Hill apparently has an 11-5 and a 12-6 curve. Apparently!? You should be demoted from starting the minor league threads. :P
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not enough second baseman on the big league team.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jake Fox with a solo HR to make it 5-2 Daytona. It's his 10th of the season, tying his HR total for 2005. By the way, Fox was robbed of a HR yesterday (he also hit one yesterday).

    Top 6th: - Finningan is the new Lakeland pitcher. - Weston bloops a single to RF. - Fox lines a single to LF, Weston takes second. - Craig singles to RF, Weston scores. The game is tied at 2. - Rick walks on a full count to load the bases. - Simokaitis bloops a single to LF, Fox scores. Daytona leads 3-2. - Spears grounds into the FC, 4-6-3. Spears beats the throw to first. Craig scores, Daytona now leads 4-2. 1 out. - Spears steals second, but comes off the base and is tagged out. 2 outs. - Fuld walks on a full count. - Fuld steals second base. - Spearman lines out to third base. Gallagher's 6th: - Ramirez lines a single to RF. - Mendez strikes out. 1 out. - Robinson weakly grounds into a FC, 6-3. Ramirez advances to second. 2 outs. - McIntyre flies out to RF. Daytona leads Lakeland 4-2 after 6 innings. Gallagher: 6 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 6/1 I'd have to assume Gallagher's night is done. If so, he recovered well from a tough start and pitched well despite not having his best stuff and control.

    In the 2nd inning, Iowa and Colorado Springs are scoreless. West Tenn is up 1-0 in the second on a Nic Jackson double and a Luis Montanez RBI single. Peoria down 6-0 in the 8th inning.

Daytona now down 2-1. - Spearman flies out to LF, runners hold. 2 outs. - Harvey flies out to CF.

That's the first Daytona hit of the game. - Fuld steals second with ease. - Fuld advances to third on an errant pickoff to second base, E-1. - Spearman strikes out looking on a full count. - Harvey flies out to deep RF, stranding Fuld at third. Gallagher's 3rd inning: - Mejia strikes out looking on 3 pitches, the third being a beautiful changeup. - Thomas grounds a double down the 3B line. - Frazier grounds out, 6-3. Thomas holds at second. - Larish flies out to LF. After 3, Lakeland leads Daytona 2-0. Gallagher: 3 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2/0

    Jake Fox gets a leadoff walk on 4 pitches (they were definitely pitching around him), but Kown then recovers and gets the next 3 outs with ease. In the middle of the second, Daytona is down 1-0. Gallagher's second inning: -Leadoff IF single -Stolen base on a 3-1 count (bad throw from Rick) -Ground out to the right side of the IF, runner advances to third. 1 out. -RBI single up the middle. 2-0, Lakeland. -On a busted hit and run, the runner at first is caught in a rundown and finally tagged out. -On a 3-2 count, Simokaitis robs a groundball single and throws out the baserunner, 6-3. Lakeland leads 2-0 after 2 innings. Gallagher: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1/0
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Gallagher off to a rocky start in the first inning. After getting the first out, Sean gave up back-to-back doubles for a run. He then recovers with a K and a groundout, 1-3 Lakeland leads 1-0 after 1 inning. Gallagher: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1/0
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    I didn't mind Mueller, if he hadn't gotten hurt the Cubs probably would have resigned him. Instead he went to Boston and won a batting title. And a World Series That's great and all, but imagine the Cubs offense with Mueller instead of Ramirez. Lee would be the only power hitter.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    I want Dusty, Hendry and MacPhail gone. Hopefully 1 out of 3 is a start, but I don't expect the Cubs will replace Dusty with anyone I'd want.

  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Around what round will Kapteyn get selected? In 2007, I want Robert Stock. He was throwing at 90 mph at age 15 - has your boy from Sandberg beat. :)
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    his defense is not good. then he's dead to me. What about Bynum?
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    You really have your priorities out of whack!

    I agree. That's what one of the comments mentioned, and Sickels admitted that it was a very valid point. Thanks for the link, CFICT.
