    By the way, the only hit Marmol has surrendered was a blooper. That is now Marmol's final line (6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K). He threw 71 pitches. Federico Baez now in for the Jaxx in the bottom of the 7th. Bah, he gives up a leadoff double.

    WT leads Birmingham 1-0 after 6, as Tony Richie throws out a baserunner to end the 6th. Marmol so far: 6 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 6 K, 2 BB

    I stickied this thread so no one will forget to mock Tim's arm strength. :D

    I actually have the Cubs minor league rotations saved on my computer and I normally confirm it the night before on each team's web site (and check out the opposing pitcher at that time - sometimes I have to check the opposing team's web site). For Iowa, Saturday should be LHP Raul Valdes and Sunday should be LHP Rich Hill (though there's a chance RHP Angel Guzman goes instead - both Hill and Gooz pitched on the same day earlier this week).

    I like Roy's all around game but I don't see the star potential in him. I think the Bulls have a decent shot at landing Brewer with their second pick and I think he'd be a good fit. Kinda like Iguodala, athletic combo guard with a suspect shot. Here's one place I disagree with you. Roy might still end up measuring at 6'4, but I think he definitely has NBA star potential - he can create his own shot, has a great jump shot, and plays great defense. I think Roy suffers from playing on the west coast (not saying you're one of those who haven't watched him much).

    Iowa: LHP Les Walrond (2005: 4-5, 4.57 ERA, 86.2 IP) @ RHP Yusmeiro Petit (2005: 9-6, 3.60 ERA, 132.1 IP) West Tenn: RHP Carlos Marmol (2005: 9-6, 3.34 ERA, 153.2 IP) @ RHP Lance Broadway (2005: 1-3, 4.58 ERA, 55 IP) - White Sox' 2005 first rounder Daytona: RHP Sean Gallagher (2005: 14-5, 2.68 ERA, 151 IP) vs. RHP Mark Rogers (2-9, 5.11 ERA, 99 IP) - 5th overall pick in 2004 Peoria: RHP Todd Blackford (6-3, 2.92 ERA, 64.2 IP) @ LHP Justin Thomas Sean Gallagher vs. flamethrower Mark Rogers should be fun.

    Don't make me remind you of that gaping hole of death and despair you have playing every day in RF. Quit trolling. :? :wink: You're supposed to remind him of our defensive whiz of a gaping hole of death and despair known as our every day RF.

    Just wait until the reality show "Manager Swap." (We'll somehow get Bobby Cox and you can have Dusty or Frank Robinson. :))

    C'mon guys, we need Neifi's defense with Maddux pitching. Who else will catch all those gopher balls*? Temps should be in the low 40s at game time with a 40% chance of showers. Winds will be blowing in at about 20 mph. I think this is when I mention it will be 60 tomorrow in LA. :) http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_ord_closeradar_medium_usen.jpg *I know, the wind isn't going to be blowing out. Still.

    Estrada comes in with 1 out and the bases juiced and gets the final two outs with ease. Veal's final line: 3.1 IP 4 ER, 2 H, 1 HR, 6 BB, 2 K, 80 pitches. After 4, Peoria trails 4-2.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Daytona losing 6-3 in the 6th inning. Fuld with a solo HR, Berg gave up 4 in 4. Argh, now Veal gives up a single to load the bases with none out. Sac fly scores anther for Wisconsin. Now Veal walks another and his night is done. Estrada coming in... 3.1 IP 4 ER, 2 H, 1 HR, 6 BB, 2 K, 80 pitches - all 3 guys on base are his responsibility. Nathan: "You can tell Veal has great stuff, he just needs to get it under control."
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Veal walks his 4th and 5th to open the 4th inning. :( Jesse Estrada warming up in the Peoria pen.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ryan Norwood scores on an IF RBI single by Brandon Taylor. One out later, Mark Reed singles to LF, Taylor advances to third. Reed took second on an errant throw back to the IF. Dylan Johnston walks on 4 straight ones, Taylor scores on ball 4 (Reed advances to third) which was a passed ball. 3-2 Wisconsin. Johnston steals second. Davey Gregg now grounds out, 1-3. Wisconsin leads 3-2 in the middle of the 4th.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Haha, Wisconsin baserunner tries to steal third on a popup, rounds third and heads back to second but forgets to tag up third. The Chiefs get the double play out of it. Ryan Norwood with a leadoff double to open up the 4th.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Veal gives up a 3-run HR to Casey Craig. :( Craig fouled off 4 pitches with 2 strikes before hitting the HR. The two guys on base were aboard via bases on balls. Veal: 2 IP, 3 ER, 1 H, 3 BB, 2 K Wisconsin leads Peoria 3-0.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nathan gives NSBB a shoutout while talking about where Bo Flowers went.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Veal hit 91 mph on the gun on a K in the 2nd inning.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    How that guy on the right isn't Marcus Fizer I have no idea. Unless he has talent. That could be the difference.[/img] Are you saying the guy on the right looks like Fizer?
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nathan, you sound great! Heh, you were pumped for Veal's K and Reed throwing out the base runner. Thanks for the shoutout in the 2nd inning!!!
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Randy is one of my faves in the minor league system (sure seems like I have a lot), so this is definitely very cool.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mark Reed throws out someone trying to steal third! Veal: 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K Wisconsin and Peoria are scoreless through 1.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Heck, I saw him in Mesa on March 17!
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Huh, wonder why Chadd Blasko isn't in Daytona like Nic Jackson is, then.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Albuquerque wins it 8-4. Good day for Theriot, Sing and Ryu, not so much for Brownlie.

    Thursday's Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Jae-Kuk Ryu West Tenn: LHP J.R. Mathes (2005: 11-8, 4.49 ERA, 132.1 IP) @ LHP Ray Liotta (2005: 14-5, 2.03, 166 IP) Daytona: RHP Justin Berg Peoria: LHP Donnie Veal (2005: 1-3, 3.18 ERA, 39.2 IP) @ RHP Jason Snyder (2005: 9-7, 4.82 ERA, 114 IP)
