    you threw waaaaay to many pitches in the 1st inning (36)...going full on 4 batters...you walked 2 but escaped with the bases left loaded and you lead 1-0 after 1. and i really hate the money ball philosophy...these guys take Forever between pitches when hitting and pitching....put it in perspective...Kane County has played 30 9 inning games this year of 3 hours more...The Chiefs have played 4...and 3 of those at Kane County and none of those at home!! what chapter was that in? no clue, i didnt read that crap. The whole organization (at this level over the last 3 years anyway) just takes pitches after pitches steps out to spit and grab, steps off the mound to spit and readjust over and over and over again...no one else does it... That has nothing to do with Moneyball. Apparently KC is just a more gross team than the rest. The taking pitches part has to do with the Oakland philosophy, though. Yeah.

    Kitt Kopach with a K and 3 walks today, continuing his ridiculous strikeout-to-walk ratio at Boise (2 to 15). Boise is down 3-1 after 7. Drew Rundle is 1 for 4 (with a K) and has his BA all the way up to .225! Cliff Andersen is up to .212 with his 2 for 3 (with a K) game. Dolis has really been impressive since his rough start. Renshaw is giving up his share of runs, but the K/BB is going up.

    I guess in a perfect Cubbie world, the Yankees would be consumed by the signing of Barry Zito. The Mariners would sign Schmidt allowing him to come home and pitch; therefore, they are not willing to ante up for Matsuzaka. And well, since the Mets and Kaz Matsui had a bad experience together this scares Matsuzaka and his agent forcing them to look elsewhere. (If he's friends with Kaz Matsui this may help out more). Oh and of course the Cubs have to be willing to spend the big bucks for him. And the Dodgers and Angels forget that Matsuzaka is available?

    He'll be a Yankee.

    SEND HIM BACK TO THE MINORS!

    4. Quality of the product on the field at Wrigley.

    And on the topic of the Hot Sheet, Veal was once again not mentioned! Maestri and Fox got some love though, both getting mentioned "In the Team Photo":

    Make a thread in Baseball Discussions if you really want to pursue this. Oh, okay. All it would take is just one response, but if you think that is the way to go, that is what I'll do. As you can see from the posts that followed this one, even if just one response is needed, something about Dusty will open up a can of worms not related to Donnie Veal.

    I'd prefer Fredi Gonzalez over Girardi.

    Split the Cedeno stuff into its own thread...

    From what I had heard, it was the Yankees and the Cubs.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Jae-Kuk Ryu (5-6, 3.72 ERA, 104 IP) vs. LHP Roger Deago (4-3, 4.71 ERA) WT: RHP Federico Baez (2-0, 2.10 ERA, 51.1 IP; overall: 2-3, 2.97 ERA, 72.2 IP) @ RHP Jose Garcia (3-5, 3.09 ERA) Daytona: RHP Mark Holliman (7-8, 4.53 ERA, 113.1 IP) Peoria: RHP Scott Taylor: (7-6, 3.31 ERA, 114.1 IP) @ RHP TJ Franco (2-1, 4.70 ERA) Boise: RHP Kitt Kopach (0-0, 5.25 ERA, 12 IP; overall: 0-0, 3.80 ERA, 23.2 IP) @ RHP Matt Buschmann (2-2, 2.90 ERA) Mesa: RHP Jake Renshaw (0-0, 5.50 ERA, 18 IP) & LHP Taylor Paker (1-1, 2.41 ERA, 33.2 IP) *Take Mesa's probable starter with a grain of salt as they shuffle their pitchers around with frequency.

    It was a blowout.

    It's great that these guys are hitting well recently, but I want to see it for a longer time before I get too excited (especially Harvey and Dopirak). Too small a sample size.

    Choi-Hill-Montanez-Teixeira!

    What's the book on him? The only info I've found was on the WNCC website and it said he featured a 90-MPH FB...decent for CC I guess but unless he's got advanced secondary pitches I don't see him having much success. Well, he's coming out of HS, so he has time. Sounds interesting, splendid splinter. I hope you're right.

    The Padres beat the Cubs 9-3. Downs gave up 4 in 1.1 innings of work (4 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk, 1 K). Cuevas-Novas also struggled, giving up 3 ER in 3 innings. Oscar Bernard got a shutout inning of work in the 9th. Samson went 1 for 2 with 2 walks, Rundle went 2 for 4 with no strikeouts and Andersen went 2 for 4 with a strikeout.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Peoria Padres are up on Mesa 8-3 after 4.

    Tyler Colvin is now 0 for his last 20. He's all the way down to: .281/.342/.459/.801
