    Atkins gave up a solo HR in the first, Peoria is down 1-0 in the bottom of the second inning. Pawelek with a 1-2-3 first inning: 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 K. Scoreless after 1.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    He was doing some middle relief, but that was because there were so many prospects and rehabbers who needed to start in Iowa at the time. He's primarily been a starter for the I-Cubs, his arm is stretched out. Unlike O'Malley, Walrond does have much better splits against lefties - .221 BAA vs. .282.

    The Big Dig is more cost-effective than the Cubs are.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Vance, it's Verlander.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'm not that high on him for the same reason, I was just impressed at his low pitch counts and his success at a young age in the MWL. Matt Avery blows a 4-3 lead on a walk-off 3-run HR. Chiefs lose 6-4. Taylor: 5+ IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 1 K.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    Scott Taylor doesn't get an out in the 6th and his day is over. He gave up 2 singles to start the inning before being pulled. 5+ IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 1 K. LHP Scott Koerber is now in.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    He came to camp out of shape. I see. Thanks Raisin. :) To be fair, he's come on strong at Boise and has worked well with the pitching coach there (David Rosario) to the adjustments he has needed to. I'm sure the Cubs wish he was at Peoria instead but he's had a solid season.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    11 balls of the 41 pitches too. threw 7 in the 1st inning, all strikes...had a 5 pitch 3rd inning. he is so different than most other pitchers at this level. He just doesnt care about K's. He knows he isnt a strikeout pitcher and doesn't try to be...very impressive mentality for a 19 year old! Most young pitchers at this level just want to throw 95 all the time and strike guys out even if they cant/shouldnt. Scott is not that way at all. And he has hit 1 batter in 136 innings....great control The pitch count bodes well, especially with a 7-inning game. ----------------- Peoria now up 4-1 after 5, thanks to 2-RBI Ryan Norwood double (following walks to Heredia and Chirinos). In the 5th, Taylor gave up a double, a groundout to the right side and a sac fly to lose the shutout. 5 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 K.

    By VORP: 1. Travis Hafner 74.4 2. Manny Ramirez 63.2 3. David Ortiz 60.0 4. Jermaine Dye 58.9 5. Derek Jeter 57.9 6. Joe Mauer 57.7 7. Miguel Tejada 57.1 8. Grady Sizemore 56.7 9. Vernon Wells 56.0 10. Jim Thome 54.3

    Man, Taylor is the opposite of most of the Cubs guys in the big league plus their top prospects like Pawelek and Veal - totally conserves his pitches and does not rack up the Ks. Anyways, Peoria is up 2-0 after 4. Taylor: 4 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 K, 41 pitches.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'm not sure about that - they've already laid out the anti-Aramis stuff (hustle, etc.) to bust out if the Cubs can't re-sign Ramirez. Aramis does sound like he wants to return, but who knows what happens once a player gets on the FA market.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Agreed. Too bad Hendry will re-sign him instead. :(
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    He came to camp out of shape. Alberto Garcia with a 2-run HR and Peoria leads it 2-0 in the middle of the 4th. Scott Taylor: 3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 K, 27 pitches (22 strikes).
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    I personally want the Cubs to practice some timely winning the World Series.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Some transactions: With OF DJ Lewis (ankle) and IF Josh Lansford (elbow) injured and out day-to-day, Boise added IF/OF Cody Gilbert (who started on Saturday for Boise) to the team. The Peoria Chiefs placed IFs Ryan Lilly (shoulder) and Ryne Malone (sprained knee, might miss remainder of season) on the 7-day DL. To replace the two, the Chiefs have added speedy IF Valerio Heredia from Mesa and IF/OF Jake Whiteside, who was signed from the St. Joe (Mo.) Blacksnakes of the Central League.

    His pic with the I-Cubs is much cooler: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Navinda/walrond.gif

    Iowa wins 3-2. West Tenn loses 2-1. :( Elvin Puello doubles in Steve Clevenger who had doubled and Boise jumps ahead 1-0. Mario Mercedes follows with an RBI bloop single (aided by the OF struggling to find it due to the lights) to score Puello. Boise now up 2-0 in the middle of the 4th. Mesa is down 5-0. Julio Castillo started and gave up the 5 runs in 2 IP (only 2 were earned). Greibal Cuvas-Novas is in now in relief.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Daytona beats St. Lucie 2-1 and goes ahead of the Mets for first place. :)
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa up 3-2 in the top of the 9th. Jerome William was solid: 7 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 5 K/1 BB. Felix Pie: 1/3, run, double, BB EPatt 0/3, run, BB, K Scott Moore with his 22nd HR in the 4th inning, but the Jaxx are losing 2-1. Chris Shaver: 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 K/3 BB.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks for summing up Donnie's night. I went to the local Savon/Osco/CVS Pharmacy for what was a 5-minute trip while Daytona was batting...and came back 4 innings later. Daytona is now up 2-1 after 7. The 9 Ks ties Donnie's season-high at Daytona.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yes, but it's staticy. :|
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Daytona strands 2 in the bottom of the third. Daytona is down 1-0 in the middle of the 4th. 4 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 8 K*, 1 WP, 1 HR, 85 pitches. *Donnie's Daytona-high is 9 Ks, his season-high is 10 in Peoria (which is a tie for his pro career-high). He normally is on a pitch limit around 90-100 pitches.
