    delayed double steal. norwood to 2nd, valdez came home on the throw... Isn't that the second time a Chief has stolen home this year? Or I'm getting mixed up here...

    Iowa is up 2-1 in the 2nd. Felix Pie with a solo HR (12) to LF to lead off the game. Wade Miller gave up a 1-out solo HR to Joe McEwing and also gave up a single and a walk in the first. Wade: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 20 pitches (12 strikes). West Tenn is scoreless as they come up to bat in the bottom of the first. Peoria is up 2-0 in the bottom of the 1st, scoring 2 runs on an error, 3 walks, a sac fly and Jesus Valdez stealing home. :shock:

    Getting back to the playoffs looks like it got a bit harder for the DJaxx - Arizona's Carlos Gonzalez was promoted from High-A Lancaster to the Southern League North-leading Tennessee. I'm kinda disappointed, I was supposed to head up to Lancaster in the next few weeks to see Gonzalez. Guess I'll head out to Rancho and see Nick Adenhart instead, but it's always tougher to match up a game with a pitcher.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Perhaps because he's still lower half of the system. I expect both Gallagher and Veal will make their big league debuts next season.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jim Callis.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    It doesn't matter what Dusty says, Wade Miller will be up next week (barring any setbacks).
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    VERY impressive. :)
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    You'll routinely see them in the 95-110 range. Pitchers at lower levels normally don't top 100. Last time out for Iowa, Ryan threw 102 pitches.

    Eyre went on the 15 day DL Eyre's still on the 40-man when he's on the 15-day DL. yeah, that's right. That was the announcement they made on the pregame, but I guess it didn't sink in. It's ok, I forgive you. :)

    Eyre went on the 15 day DL Eyre's still on the 40-man when he's on the 15-day DL.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    The assumption is that Wood was moved to the 60-day DL. No one was removed, the roster was at 39.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    This ballpark SUCKS. That was entertaining, though...
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria has now lost seven in a row.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    I agree with Outshined. He doesn't throw hard (mid-80s FB, also has a curve and change), but I think he'll at least get some time in the bigs as a reliever.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    So a flyball to the outfield will score him. Now it won't...
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Who said anything about awake and coherent? Awake, anyway! :D Thanks for the lineups, Bruce -- and your excellent articles, as always! Agreed. Thank you very much, Bruce!
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    O'Malley features a mid-80s FB, a slider and a circle change.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    I don't understand why you think it'd make more sense to have Miller start. He has no future with this organization. Why waste a start on him when we can give O'Malley a look? Because eventually Wade Miller will be starting for the Cubs, whether we want it or not. And I'm not the biggest O'Malley fan.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Cut it out, guys. I was referring to Wade Miller. Ryan O'Malley's 2006 stats at AAA Iowa. Ryan O'Malley's career minor league stats. He was signed as a non-drafted FA in 2002 out of the University of Memphis and has made 46 starts over 5 minor league seasons.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    That is interesting but they play fewer games in Japan and it doesn't appear that Rotoworld is taking that into account. For instance, Matsuzaka has throw 1,967 pitches in 18 starts this year, which is a about 110 pitches per start. Zambrano has thrown 2,265 pitches in 26 starts, which is about 87 pitches per start. Livan Hernandez has thrown 2526 pitches in 24 starts, which is about 105 pitches per start. Just for clarification, Z has thrown 112.2 pitches per start, or 2917 pitches this season. That's a good point, although pitching on 6-days rest might (not sure what a combination of 2 extra days of rest but more pitches will necessarily do) help combat that. But he'd have to get used to pitching on 4-days rest here, which might actually hurt.
