    Haha, that was awesome. The bunt was too frustrating. His April 05 and end of 2004 were ridiculous.

    Good, just in time for the other games to finish. Thanks for the heads up...

    Wow, do you watch games? as for OBP being important, it is the single whole belief of the A's system to 9 OBP monsters...and exactly how many World Series' have they played in with that philosophy??? scoring runs matters, the other team not scoring runs matters more. OBP matters little. Without getting on base a team isn't likely to score too many runs. Having 9 OBP monsters without guys with good SLG isn't a great strategy, but having very little OBP is a worse one. The A's don't have 9 OBP monsters in their lineup (part of their problem in recent years). The Red Sox and Yankees of recents years have won World Series with great lineups with OBP and SLG (obviously many of the better power hitters have good OBPs too).

    Peoria loses 6-3, they got 1 in the ninth. Reynolds was 2 for 4 with a triple, Mark Reed was 2 for 3 with a walk. Boise loses 4-2.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria down 6-2 in the 9th. Vancouver jumps ahead of Boise on a 2-run HR in the 8th inning of Alessandro Maestri. :( To the 9th we go, Boise down 4-2.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist the screaming fans.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow, that was one hell of a thunderbolt. I LOVED how all the kids started screaming in fear. Rain delay in Jackson...
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Why wouldn't you want the rest of the team to get on base well? That'll give more opportunities to score runs.

    Ron, the thunder-lightning difference works out more like 5 miles per second between the lightning and hearing the thunder clap. Hope we won't have to deal with any major delays. West Tenn in the top of the fourth. Sean: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. ---- Peoria down 4-2 in the top of the 8th. Boise tied at 2 in the top of the 7th.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    West Tenn is scoreless in the top of the third. The Jaxx had the bases loaded with 1 out in the 2nd and came away with nothing. Sean Gallagher: 2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K. Peoria now down 4-2 in the bottom of the 6th. Blackford's final line: 5 IP, 4 R, 2 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 5 K. Boise still knotted up with Vancouver at 2 after 5. Pina's final line: 4.2 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 0 K.

    Daytona lost 6-1. Harvey went 1 for 4 with a double and did not strike out (on a day when the D-Cubs got 8 Ks).
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    I disagree. Robinson certainly is a nice prospect, but I prefer Ceda. Without a doubt.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    West Tenn is scoreless in the 2nd. Daytona is down 6-0 in the 8th. Harvey is 0 for 3 with 0 Ks. Peoria is down 3-2 in the 5th. Boise and Vancouver are tied at 2 in the 5th inning. Boise scored both their runs on the same play - with runners at the corners, the Vancouver catcher throws the ball away as Colvin steals 2nd. This allows Matulia to score from 3rd. The CF then threw the ball away to allow Colvin to score. Tyler Colvin is 1 for 2 with a strikeout.

    Whomever this guy is who is saying Neifi is better than Jeter ( :shock: !) should immediately replace Walt Jocketty.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa wins it 5-1. They added 2 in the bottom of the 8th on a Jesse Hoorelbeke 2-run HR. Bynum and Pie's final lines are right, EPatt got one more AB and got a single. He ended the day 2 for 4. Daytona is down 4-0 in the 5th. Ryan Harvey is 0 for 2. Peoria is down 1-0 after 1. Todd Blackford gives up an ER in the top of the 1st.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa up 3-1 in the middle of the 8th. Felix Pie: 1 for 4, 2 strikeouts. Freddie Bynum: 1 for 2, RBI, replaced defensively in the 5th inning. Eric Patterson: 1 for 3, RBI single Daytona is down 4-0 in the top of the 5th.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, the rumor was out late last week that the Giants had signed him. He is a hitter, and in fact, plays third base.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin

    Probably... An interview with Jim Hendry in the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Easily the highlight:

    I knew there aren't separate halves at the AAA level, but I wasn't sure if there were any wild cards (as there are in the Midwest League). Nah, the PCL doesn't have a wild card.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Les Walrond (9-5, 4.15 ERA) vs. LHP John Rheinecker (4-2, 2.50 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Sean Gallagher (6-3, 2.70 ERA; overall: 10-3, 2.48 ERA) vs. RHP Corey Thurman (5-8, 2.88 ERA) Daytona: RHP Ryan Bicondoa (1-1, 2.13 ERA) Peoria: RHP Todd Blackford (9-7, 5.54 ERA) @ RHP Matt Walker (5-2, 5.04 ERA) Boise: RHP Jose Pina (2-5, 5.48 ERA) @ RHP Andrew Bailey (1-3, 1.95 WHIP) Mesa: RHP Chris Huseby (0-1, 4.32 ERA) & RHP Marco Carillo (2-0, 2.20 ERA) Walrond: 125.2 IP, 99/59, 1.50 WHIP Gallagher (West Tenn & Daytona): 145 IP, 149/67, 1.38 WHIP Bicondoa: 25.1 IP, 31/6, 1.14 WHIP Blackford: 125 IP, 62/55, 1.58 WHIP Pina: 46 IP, 21/17, 1.41 WHIP Huseby: 8.1 IP, 9/1, 1.56 WHIP Carrillo: 32.2 IP, 25/7, 1.01 WHIP

    Jake Renshaw gave up 3 ER in 4.1, but 2 of those came in the 5th. Not bad considering he gave up 2 hits in the 5th and then left (one of those hits being an IF hit) and Blevins let those 2 inherited runners scores. Strikeout numbers are down big time in 2 starts at Boise.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    I just wanted to add some pretty Fred-like codes to NCCF's post: Yeah, Iowa has to win the division (there are no first half/second half division titles in the PCL). PCL American North Nashville 69-59 .539 - Iowa 64-64 .500 5.0 --- 16 games remaining SL North Tennessee 32-23 .582 - Huntsville 31-23 .574 0.5 Chattanooga* 29-26 .527 3.0 West Tenn 27-29 .491 5.0 --- 15 games remaining The Jaxx finished 11 games ahead of Carolina and Tennessee, 18.5 ahead of Huntsville, so it seems likely the Jaxx will make the playoffs if Chattanooga wins the SL North in the second half. FSL East St. Lucie* 31-24 .564 - Daytona 30-24 .556 0.5 --- 16 games remaining Palm Beach 30-25 .545 1.0 The Tri-City game was probably not a final when you posted. NWL East Boise 33-26 .559 - --- 17 games remaining Tri-City 31-28 .525 2.0 Sounds about right. Mesa is definitely done since they only have 9 games left.
