    In regards to Prior, you're right. The Cubs would have to take him off the Iowa DL and then call him up before they can put him on the 60-day DL with the big league team and open up a spot on the 40-man roster.

    You can watch Soto's walk-off HR here.

    Iowa lost game two of their doubleheader 2-0. JR Mathes threw 5 shutout innings but gave up 10 hits (where's texascub to talk about Mathes' BAA? :P).

    Before today's game, the game notes for Iowa listed Angel Guzman as the I-Cubs starter on Sunday and Sean Marshall as the I-Cubs starter for Monday. The game notes are passed to the media before each game and yesterday's game notes had "TBA" for Iowa's Sunday starter, so it's definitely worth noting. Looks like goony and raw would be right if this were the case.

    What if the Warriors were being fouled and nothing was called? Just sayin'. You and Raisin keep beating this point into the ground. I GET IT. You think they missed a foul call or two late. My point was, don't you think the refs missed a foul call earlier in the game that benefited Golden State? You do know Golden State was down 21 in the second quarter and came back. Don't you think it's not only possible but likely that the refs made or missed a couple calls there that helped the Warriors. Like I said before, everything evens out in the game. One call goes the Warriors way and one goes Dallas' way. Christ, you and Raisin are making this out to be a bigger deal than the Kings-Lakers Game 6 in 2002. You want to witness a team who got jobbed, it was the Kings in that game (which I will freely admit). But the Warriors didn't get screwed over. Not at all. Everything doesn't even out in one NBA game. One game is far too short for the calls to even out. This all started because I said "the refs didn't help [the Warriors]" and you disagreed. If the refs missed some calls down the stretch, thus hurting the Warriors, I don't see how what I said isn't false. Just because this wasn't as bad as Kings-Lakers doesn't mean the refs missed calls and mistakes weren't made.

    Marshall only threw 64 pitches today. I don't think he's stretched out yet.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Except the 3 by Dirk after what was a pretty obvious walk late in the game. Not sure how that didn't hurt the Warriors. Or how two Warrior players shooting 3-pointers and being hit but not getting FTs doesn't hurt the Warriors.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa won game one in 8 innings, 2-1. Marshall: 5 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 7 H, 5 K, 1 BB.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Marmol or Marshall should be options, but I hope Walrond isn't. Marmol has had back-to-back bad starts as his control woes have returned. Marshall's only got his second start of the season today - and the first was at Daytona. He hasn't thrown over 70 pitches yet in either start so he might still need to build up arm strength. I would call up Guzman anyways.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    What?
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    The .304 was from 6 innings, though. But yeah, Berg has been awful this season. Berg's is quite bad, but his has only been in 12 IP. Mathes' is the most disturbing at .305 after 25 IP. The 12 IP is because he has only thrown 1 IP in two of his starts. He has four starts already, so the 12 IP is bad. Mathes being hit at AAA isn't surprising, given his stuff.

    He was probably mouthing something to the official standing there in the lane and doing the clapping to mock him. I certainly hope he said something. Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't. Baron already got tossed from a game this series for just clapping. Baron was sarcastically clapping and it was deemed as showing up the referee - which it most likely was. That's not tolerated this year in the NBA. As for Jackson, I would be extremely surprised if he DIDN'T say something. Dude is a hothead. And Tim Duncan had it coming too for laughing on the bench. (Forget Jackson...dude is an idiot. The Davis technical was awful.) The calls down the stretch were one-sided. I didn't say the Mavericks didn't get bad calls during the game, but the calls went their way down the stretch. I didn't say the Warriors didn't play poorly - they did. And they sure as hell needed to realize they had to get the ball to Baron Davis even if he's doubled rather than have Richardson or Jackson force the issue. But, I said the refs didn't help.

    Probable Starters: Iowa (game one): LHP Sean Marshall (at Daytona: 1-0, 3.00 ERA, 6 IP) Iowa (game two): LHP JR Mathes (2-2, 5.40 ERA, 25 IP) Tennessee: RHP Justin Berg (1-1, 11.25 ERA, 12 IP) Daytona: RHP Joel Santo (3-1, 3.32 ERA, 21.2 IP) Peoria: RHP Rafael Dolis (2-1, 2.25 ERA, 20 IP) Marshall: 6 IP, 4 K/1 BB, .304 BAA Mathes: 25 IP, 10 K/7 BB, .305 BAA Berg: 12 IP, 10 K/10 BB, .407 BAA Santo: 21.2 IP, 7 K/8 BB, .277 BAA Dolis: 20 IP, 15 K/8 BB, .214 BAA
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Badly: 3 IP, 7 ER, 4 H, 2 K, 4 BB, 1 HBP. Not good...I wouldnt mind seein Cotts being 5th starter for now and Guzman in the pen Seeing as the Cubs had him working on some things in his previous starts, I wouldn't be surprised if he did today too. I'd definitely start Guzman over Cotts.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yep, they had awful shot selection, but the refs didn't help matters either. Oh well, hopefully Golden State closes it out against the NBA's golden boys in Oakland. I didn't know GS was facing the Spurs/Heat/Lakers/Suns. The Lakers definitely are out of the golden boys circle...Mavs sure are in (as are the Pistons).
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    The refs sure didn't help. What are you referring to...the walk on Dirk? All the stars get that call. The non-over the back ball out on Barnes? It was. Like the announcer just said the Warriors missed their last eight shots and let Dallas go on a 15-0 run to end the game. You can't do that. The refs didn't make them take bad shots. That was their own decision. Dirk hitting Richardson on a 3-point attempt. No foul call. Barnes getting hit on a 3-pt attempt. No foul call. Baron Davis fouling out by...not fouling the Maverick player.

  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Matt Barnes was fouled on the 3-point shot. No call. Ball goes out of bounds off Dallas. Loose ball foul on GSW.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    NBA refs blow. No over the back? Just in case, why don't the refs kick out Warriors players. They might clap again.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    If Mark Cuban ever complains about the refs again, someone should just show him the final 2:30 of this game. GSW = totally hosed.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh. Don't freaking blow this. Of course Dirk walked, but they won't call it.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    BARON!!!!!
