    That's former 37th rounder RHP Andrew Miller of Seminole State College in the Padres system. Not the one in the Tigers system.

    Lakeland leads Daytona 1-0 in the 6th. Bicondoa: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 8 Ks.

    Quite a few did doubt his ability to succeed, saying, amongst other things, that he only had one pitch and that his FB wasn't good enough.

    I readily and freely admit that I did. Granted, this is only 2 games, and one of them was against the stankin' Pirates, but he has looked fantastic in both of those starts. Like I said when he was called up this time, I hope he makes me eat a buffet's-worth of crow. It's only good for the Cubs if they have a slew of young pitching/trading options going into next year. The stankin' Pirates are 4th in the NL against lefties in OPS and runs scored.

    Hamilton will have to repeat his dominance at Low A to be something, he turned 22 a week ago. Roth is a 23 year old that dominated Low A, not that high of an accomplishment. Oh yeah, both are pretty far away, but Pujols isn't going anywhere, so they don't need to rush either. BTW, why is wolves capitalized in the thread title? For the same reason "Plan" and "Throw" are capitalized?

    Iowa ends up winning it 10-5. West Tenn ends up losing it 6-3, Atlee takes the loss. Peoria gets 2 in the 9th but end up losing 7-4. A rough game in relief for Evenson, as he gave up 4 earned in 3 innings of work.

    Iowa has broken it open in the bottom of the 7th: A bases-loaded walk for Micah Hoffpauir scores Felix Pie. Then, Casey McGehee clears the bases with a 3-RBI double and then Jose Reyes gets an RBI single. It's now 10-3 in the top of the 8th. As DJAXX fan points out, Thomas Atlee and the Jaxx give up 5 in the bottom of the 7th and, after 8, are losing 6-3 in a game with huge playoff implications. In Geneva, Mitch Atkins is done after 3 rocky innings: 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 5 BBs, 1 K. Roger Evenson has given up 2 runs in 2 innings of relief and Peoria is now down 4-2 after 5.

    51-47!
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa now up 5-3 in the bottom of the 7th, Shipman gave up a solo HR. And Felix leads off the bottom of the 7th with a walk! (He's 2 for 3 with a double and a BB.) Jaxx post a 3-spot in the top of the 7th! Richard Lewis leads off with a pinch single, is sacrificed over to second by Chris Walker and scores on an EPatt RBI triple. Then, Jake Fox follows with a 2-run shot to make it 3-1. They're now in the bottom of the 7th. Still 2-2 in the Peoria game, they're in the 4th out in Geneva.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Great game, again, Rich. Even if you're only a 1-pitch pitcher and AAAA player.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa still leads 5-2 as we go to the 7th. Carolina still leads it 1-0 in the 7th. Peoria gets 2 in the top of the 3rd to jump ahead 2-1, but Atkins gives up a solo HR in the bottom of the 3rd and it's tied up at 2 as we go to the 4th. Atkins has given up an uncharacteristic 5 walks so far.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Bah. Work around it, Rich...
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    O'Malley is working with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 5th inning. He's given up a bases loaded walk to make it 5-2. He gets the third out of the inning on a popout. To the 6th we go, Iowa up 5-2. Meh, Pavlik gives up a run in the bottom of the 6th and Carolina takes the 1-0 lead, going into the 7th. Atkins gives up an unearned run in the first and Peoria is down 1-0 after 2.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    What about beachballs? :P I've popped my share. They're for idiots who don't want to pay attention to the game. Just like the wave.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    It's now 5-1 in favor of Iowa after 4, thanks to another Buck Coats RBI single. Pie grounded out to first in his most recent AB. It's still scoreless in the West Tenn game; they're now in the 6th. Pavlik: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Plus, it's on WGN for everyone to see. Why couldn't it be a CSN game? Who knows what those fans do when the games are on CSN.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    What the heck. I'm proud of going to Dodger/Padre games and not doing the wave and pointing out that Cubs fans don't resort to that nonsense.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not bad, Rich. Not bad.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not listening to the Iowa game but something happened. Termel Sledge hit an RBI ground-rule double and then was ejected, along with Portland's manager and pitcher Dewon Brazelton who wasn't even playing. Apparently it was originally ruled a 3-run HR and then changed to a ground-rule double. Not sure why Brazelton was ejected. Anyways, it's 4-1 Iowa in the bottom of the 3rd. And now another double for Restovich. But he's stranded. Iowa leads it 4-1 in the 4th now. WT and Carolina are scoreless through 4. Pavlik: 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. Despite a leadoff triple in the top of the first by Davey Gregg, Peoria doesn't score and it's 0-0 in the bottom of the 1st.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    He isn't the only one...Jake Fox with another double and has his BA over .250. Pie is up to .278, OPS to .758.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Perfect delivery or not, a pitcher's mechanics change as he wears down and gets tired, which is where the major risk of injury comes from.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Kanye West hates walks. Jesus Walks. I bet Jesus' OBP is through the roof! #-o
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    I-Cubs in the bottom of the 2nd: McGehee singles. Augie singles, McGehee to third. Jose Reyes grounds into a forceout, Augie out at second, McGehee scores. Iowa up 2-0. O'Malley bunts into a forceout, Reyes out at second. Pie doubles, O'Malley to third. Buck Coats with a 2-RBI single, Iowa now up 4-0. Mike Fontenot pops out to end the inning. Iowa leads 4-0 after 2. West Tenn: 0-0 in the bottom of the 3rd in Zebulon, North Carolina.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nope. He has 104 AB's there this year. Hmm I guess I don't pay attention too much. Who does these days?
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa is up to bat in the bottom of the 1st inning of a scoreless game. Pie led off the bottom of the first with a line drive single to RF and now stole second with 1 out. West Tenn and Carolina are scoreless going to the second...
