    On the power of those 2 HRs, Iowa leads it 3-0 in the 8th. West Tenn is down 6-4 in the 7th. Dope is 2 for 3 with a double, walk and a strikeout. Shaver gave up all 6 runs in 5.1. Daytona leads it 11-1 in the 8th. Peoria down to their last outs in the 9th, down 4-2. Santo gave up the 4 runs in relief of Wade Miller.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Stupid Jeff Clement took 6 pitches to get out. ERA down to 4.04. :)
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Matt Craig with a 2-run bomb to make it 11-1 after 7. Craig is now 1 for 1 with the HR and 4 BBs. Guzman: 6 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 K. He's out there for the 7th.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    I agree, a healthy Guzman is better than the other young guys in the system.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Veal's night is over: 6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K. With runners at the corners and one out, the D-Cubs get a FC on a potential DP ball. The ball was thrown away on the relay. The runner scored easily from third and the guy who hit the ball advanced to second on the error. Hunton comes in and gets the K. Daytona is up 9-1 in the middle of the 7th.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    In the 7th, Veal gets a leadoff K, loses the next hitter to a walk after getting ahead 1-2 and then gives up a single. Runners at the corners and a mound visit for Donnie. Hunton gets up in the Daytona pen.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    WT has been having some major problems with their online broadcasts. Check out this thread for some more details on what's going on.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    And Garza was/is more advanced because of the longer college career. Apparently Veal's pitch count is so good that he might have a chance at a CG.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think Billy Petrick would be a perfect candidate for that since he missed a lot of time this season.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    I have no problem either way, but if the Cubs promote him, I'd want him to only have a couple starts at West Tenn. Again, I think it comes down to the playoff situation (if the minor league seasons ended today, Daytona would be in and West Tenn would be out of the playoffs).
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'll be happy if it's only two weeks: Ugh, figured it'd happen to the star of camp:
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Did you even see the hit? Brown barely touched him, Urlacher's hit wasn't that bad and what I'd expect of practice. It really didn't look that bad, I hope it's not too serious.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    I could see that, a la Gallagher and Patterson last season. The playoff picture really muddles the situation a bit - all the minor league teams have a chance to clinch and the Cubs do like to get their players playoff/winning experience. Veal still needs to cut down on his walks.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Zambrano, Barrett, Ramirez, Jones vs. righties, Lee (even though he's injured) That qualifies as "some," doesn't it? Herzog's talking about the front office/coaches.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    O'Malley: 64/25, 1.33 WHIP Shaver: 102/46, 1.33 WHIP Shaver overall: 112/46, 1.26 WHIP Veal: 47/26, 1.17 WHIP Veal overall: 133/66, 1.16 WHIP Miller: 11/2, 1.29 WHIP Billek: 14/9, 1.70 WHIP Billek overall: 49/20, 1.24 WHIP Carillo: 14/4, 1.01 WHIP Sorry UK, I thought you were gonna see Atkins.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Ryan O'Malley (5-7, 4.03 ERA, 111.2 IP) vs. LHP Bobby Livingston (6-8, 5.05 ERA) WT: LHP Chris Shaver (5-7, 2.59 ERA, 114.2 IP; overall: 5-7, 2.41 ERA, 123.1 IP) Daytona: LHP Donnie Veal (3-2, 1.17 ERA, 46 IP; overall: 8-5, 2.11 ERA, 119.2 IP) vs. RHP Kyle Sleeth (0-2, 8.00 ERA) Peoria: RHP Wade Miller (rehab: 0-0, 3.21 ERA, 14 IP) @ RHP Trey Shields (9-8, 4.91 ERA) Boise: RHP Mike Billek (1-2, 7.39 ERA, 35.1 IP; overall: 5-8, 7.00 ERA, 88.2 IP) @ Aaron Breit (0-1, 3.60 ERA) Mesa: RHP Marco Carillo (2-0, 1.99 ERA, 22.2 IP) *Take Mesa's probable starter with a grain of salt as they shuffle their pitchers around with frequency.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    MWL: Best Reliever: Ed Campusano Best Defensive First Baseman: Ryan Norwood
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    And that's the final, Boise loses 1-0. Colvin had the day off, Lewis went 2 for 4 with a double, Mercedes and Camp went 1 for 4 with a double each.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa lost 4-1. Pie went 1 for 4. West Tenn and Carolina are all knotted up at 5 in the 13th inning. The Jaxx have used 7 pitchers so far. Daytona won 7-4. Petrick actually faced the first 3 hitters in the 6th inning, and all 3 of them scored. His final line is: 5+ IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 5 Ks. Peoria won 3-2. Yepez went 6 and gave up 2 unearned runs. Boise down 1-0 after 7.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    1-0 Daytona in the bottom of the 4th, 4 shutout innings so far from Petrick (but 4 hits surrendered).
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Billy Petrick gets a 1-2-3 top of the 1st (2 flyouts and then a strikeout). In the bottom of the 1st, Daytona scores on a Nate Spears double, a Joe Simokaitis bunt single and then a Jeff Culpepper force out. And Petrick gets a 1-2-3 2nd inning. Daytona leads 1-0 in the middle of the 2nd. Petrick: 2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, K
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    I disagree on how you rate Guzman, but otherwise agree. I'd rate him ahead of Nolasco. A trade for Andruw, if the Cubs picked up his full salary, would still probably need someone like Pie or Gallagher or Veal (along with Guzman). While Guzman has the stuff over Nolasco, Nolasco was coming off a great year in AA at the age of 22. All of his other seasons besides 2004 were just as good. I guess Guzmans health may have restored a lot of the value he lost, but we have seen him stuck at AAA and not doing so great. Maybe they are equal, but I don't see Guzman as having more trade value than Nolasco did. Guzman has better stuff, higher potential and his performance this season can be blamed on rust (and he's had better seasons than Nolasco in the minors). I'd rate him higher than Nolasco after the 2005 campaign (heck, I thought Guzman after the 2005 season was still ahead of Nolasco). It comes down to how big a risk they view Guzman's injury problems.

    Oh man, don't mess around with Ron. He'll get your achilles tendon. Or break your legs. 8-[

    A fellow UCLA fan? And a UCI fan? I am not shocked that ASU would be ranked higher than UCLA since all the national media see is Drew Olson, Lewis and Drew gone from last year's team. Personally, I'm just hoping the Bruins are above .500 and Ben Olson has a strong year. I'm pretty excited about the recruiting class for next year. :) They're about where I expect them to be. They will win the Pac-10.
