    They never do. :x

    Boise loses 5-0. Series tied at 1 as we shift to Keizer, Oregon for the final three games. Adam Cowart went the distance for the shutout. Only Colvin (2 hits) and Matulia (1 hit) got hits for Boise. Poor Chiefs. :(
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Game's still tied 2-2 at the seventh inning stretch. Jesse Estrada's night should be over: 7 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 4 BB, 4 K. I have to head out for a bit, by the time I'll be back the game should be over. Go Chiefs!
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    And the Chiefs tie it right back up in the bottom of the 5th: Davey Gregg singles. Valerio Heredia sac bunt, Gregg to second. Errant pickoff throw hits Gregg, Gregg advances to third. Chirinos grounds out 5-3, Gregg scores (might have been a play at the plate but the third baseman juggled the grounder). Jesus Valdez grounds out, 6-3. Game tied at 2 after 5 innings.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh, Tarrence Patterson with a suicide squeeze. Beloit now leads it 2-1 in the middle of the 5th.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Aaaaaaand Estrada - who had thrown 4 no-hit innings up to this point - gives up a BB and two bloop singles as Beloit has tied the game. The Snappers have runners at second and third with one out.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Actually, Parmelee is getting his first ABs for the series today.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria jumps ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the 4th, but leave the bases loaded.

    Well there is nothin wrong with letting Moore play so you know what you have, but if he decides he can go with Moore over Aram because of a month of play, thats crazy. If Hendry decides he could go with Moore than it better be a complete youth movement. That means trading away Lee, Barrett, and Jones, and collecting draft compensation for Pierre. Zambrano is the wild card. He is still young enough to be a part of a youth movement, but if someone wildly overpays... I'm pretty sure Hendry won't decide on not re-signing Aramis because of Moore's play in September. Moore was called up because he deserves it and because he's close to the big leagues. He's headed to the AFL next month, and I would be shocked if he's not at AAA next year (and I expect Aramis to be re-signed).
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think I'd prefer having him in AAA and maybe move McGehee around or have him be the major league utility man. Moore defnitely has a higher ceiling and a little bit of a K problem he could use some work on. Moore strikeouts: 2003: 110 in 107 games 2004: 125 in 118 games 2005: 134 in 128 games 2006: 115 in 114 games If he's going to work on that, he'd better start soon. His BB/K, BB/G and K/G ratios have been remarkably consistent the past four years. I think the numbers suggest he is what he is - a guy who will walk some but will also strike out about once per game. Ehh, I see improvement in his K/G. 2003 (A): 110/332 - 29.5% 2004 (A+): 125/391 - 31.9% 2005 (A+): 135/466 - 28.9% 2006 (AA*): 127/467 - 27.1% *4 ABs at AAA, 1 K. Certainly, it's not great but he is cutting down his K rates. Especially since coming to the Cubs and moving from SS to 3B.

    The Cubs need patience and more power.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'd love to get him, but I think we can all agree there's a 98% chance he ends up in Seattle or in pinstripes. I wonder if the Cubs even have any interest? I've read about the O's and Angels being interested too. I'd like to see the Cusb sign Schmidt and, say, Meche.

    Dayton Moore! :(

    Interesting. At least the rain might help with the fires? Had this email from a friend in Boise earlier today: We have had several bad fire seasons since we moved here, but this year is particularly bad. They have cancelled all athletic events for school age kids (no recess even!) and it is "Red Flag Warning" here (no mowing, trimming, blowing, etc), and of course, a burn ban is in effect. You can't even see the foothills! One of the drawbacks of our lovely little valley! Even the wind doesn't help, it only blows in fresh smoke, no matter which direction it comes from! Choke gag, signing off...... There wasn't much in the way of precip - it was mostly in the 2nd inning. Looking at the radar at the time, it was mostly light and widely scattered around southern Idaho. And it was awfully windy - gusts to 30 mph. We've been very lucky with only a couple major wildfires so far this summer in Southern California.

    Most of them didn't have multiple sources, or they were two sources using the other as a source so I don't know how reliable everything is. I can just thank Google. I probably didn't google some hotshot toolsy shortstop BA always loves that hit like .220/.300/.300. Much like Sammy Baez last year. Nice list and writeup all the same. I don't know much about Reyes, but rated over Betances? That's impressive for a 5'11" pitcher.

    This is the championship, it's a best-of-5 series.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    What's he still doing spending a full season at low-A at age 22 with 5 viable pitches, given the success he's had this season? Ft. Myers is loaded w/them as well. Good point. That system is loaded.
