    I'm not sure why Pawelek hasn't pitched yet. Santana out after giving up 7 (not all earned), Evenson coming in. The last 3 runs scored via a controversial HR off John Mayberry Jr.'s bat (the guy drafted one pick ahead of Mark Pawelek). The ump ruled that the ball hit the foul pole, but the Boise team thought it hit the wall. Even the Spokane announcer thought it wasn't a HR. A bunch of the Hawks joined their manager in arguing the call, and when the manager was ejected, he kicked dirt at the ump, threw his hat at home plate and searched for things to throw before finally leaving. The Boise crowd is unrelentingly booing the umps. At the stretch, Boise is down 7-2.

    Blow that sucka up!

    Yay! Way to go, Jaxx.

    Boise scored another one in the bottom of the 4th. Veal's night is done, his final line: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 10 K, 2 BB Andy Santana is coming in in the 6th...

    RBI double for Johnny Defendis makes it 1-0 Boise in the bottom of the 4th. He just missed a HR.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Maybe Donnie wants to skip Peoria? 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 9 K, 1 BB. He's been throwing that fastball 92-93. The 9 Ks is a season high for a Boise pitcher.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Excellent. He's on my wish list for Peoria next season. He should be there, at least to start the season. The Boise announcer is now hanging out with Scott Taylor and Darin Downs as they chart pitches. It's really staticy, but pretty cool to hear him announcing from the crowd.

    I'm only 26 hours and 44 minutes away! Though, I am only need to take 3 freeways to get to Jackson. Sweet, you can make it in time for the game Friday! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Navinda/mq-mapgend.gif You make the drive, I'll buy you dinner. It's a straight shot! ha ha If you leave right after the game tonight, you could take a slight detour through Dallas and I'll put you up for the night. It's only 8 hours from here. Haha, awesome. I can bring you along to Jackson, then. Actually, I have a grand uncle who lives in Denton.

    Uhh, Donald Veal is putting on a show, striking out the side AGAIN. 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 7 K, 1 BB

    Nice. Are you watching or listening? Was watching (trying to watch and listen to Ron) but my comp gave up on trying to manage both. I'm listening now, I'll view the video later tonight (they save the video, so you can see prior games too). Veal: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 K, 1 BB

    I'm only 26 hours and 44 minutes away! Though, I only need to take 3 total freeways to get to Jackson.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    In Boise, Donnie Veal struck out the side in the first.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Chad Billingsley (13-6, 3.51 ERA) Nah, can't be. He plays for Jacksonville.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Does anyone know who the starting pitcher is for Carolina?
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks! I was very impressed by Blackford. However, he threw 57 pitches and 51 of them were fastballs so I'd really have liked to see another pitch or two. But having said that, he shut down the best offense in the league over 5 innings with just a fastball that was 90-92. Guzman got hit hard on Monday. He was encouraged though. I talked to him after the game and he was happy with his performace. He made a mistake on the HR but his fastball was good and he had more command with the curve than he did on Tuesday. Berg's command on Monday was very sharp. He ran out of gas in the 9th inning but was very good through his first 3 innings. He moved the ball in and out and up and down. I expect he could be at the front of Peoria's rotation in 2006 along with Blackford. (and hopefully Pawelek!) Who else do you anticipate being in Peoria's rotation next year besieds Berg, Blackford and Pawelek? I figure Donald Veal, Darin Downs , Jesus Yepez, Matt Avery and/or Scott Taylor all have a good chance.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Since you're bored, Nathan :D: What was your first impression of Blackford and what did you think of Berg and Guzman in their second Chiefs appearance?

    West Tenn: LHP Renyel Pinto (10-3, 2.78 ERA) vs. Josh Johnson (12-4, 3.87 ERA) Boise: LHP Donald "Donnie" Veal (1-2, 3.00 ERA, 24 IP, 24 K, 13 BB) & LHP Mark Pawelek (Boise: 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 3 IP; Overall: 0-3, 2.54 ERA, 46 IP, 60 K, 22 BB) vs. RHP Kellen McConnell (6-5, 6.07 ERA) Veal starts and Pawelek will piggyback.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    we were asked who we think should win, not who we think will. OK, smart ass the guy has been out half a year yet people think he should win? No way. No personal attacks, please.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    You were the player of the game. And the Boise announcer is discussing the possibility that Scott Taylor makes the jump to Peoria to start next season.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hawks go down 1-2-3 in the 9th, lose 3-1 and have been eliminated from playoff contention.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Dude, I was going for the record of consecutive posts before you came and screwed things up. I should just delete your post. :-k
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    And now 2005 first rounder John Mayberry, Jr. goes back-to-back with a monster shot all the way to the Boise River. 3-1, Spokane. :( Thompson gets the final two outs of the top of the 9th inning. To the bottom of the 9th inning we go, Boise needs at least 2 to keep their playoff hopes alive.
