    He must have had a hell of a workout on May 26th and that other date in Mesa. I imagine his stuff is back - he supposedly has that FB that topped out at 93 mph, a curve, slider and change. He was on my list of most intriguing prospects after the 5th round (including Renshaw and Rundle)...but wowowowowowow is right. Hopefully the area guys know what they're doing.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Rich Hill (5-1, 1.91 ERA, 70.2 IP, 95/14, 0.83 WHIP) vs. LHP Brian Boehringer (1-4, 3.38 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Juan Mateo (4-4, 2.71 ERA, 63 IP, 48/18, 1.11 WHIP) Daytona: RHP Roberto Sotolongo (0-1, 2.25 ERA, 8 IP, 6/2, 0.88 WHIP) Peoria: RHP Todd Blackford (7-2, 3.64 ERA, 84 IP, 36/38, 1.40 WHIP) Boise: RHP Billy Petrick (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 9.2 IP, 10/2, 0.72 WHIP)

    Petco generally has more Cubs fans than Padres fans.

    Colvin's first 8 ABs: 3 singles. 1 6-3 groundout. 4 Ks.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    West Tenn won 5-4. Mathes gave up 4 ER in 6.1 and got 4 Ks. Atlee got his first save at West Tenn. Daytona won 5-4. Olin Wick hit a HR, his 2nd of the year! Daytona scored 3 in the top of the 9th to come from behind for the win. Berg gave up 2 ER in 5, Mendez got the save. Peoria lost 2-1. Scott Taylor gave up the go-ahead run in the 9th inning. He ended up going 8.1 and giving up 2 ER with 2 Ks and a BB. Boise is down 2-1 after 3. Colvin with an RBI single.

    Err, Mike Billek was double demoted to Boise and is starting in place of Darin Downs.

    Exactly.

    What is it with Downs? He was in the same draft as Sean Marshall, and he's still pitcing at Boise? :? Well, he was drafted out of HS while Marshall was drafted out of college. I was surprised to see his return to Boise after pitching pretty well last season. All in all, it's disappointing that he's not at Peoria and that he's struggling in his third stint at Boise. I guess the growth plates didn't work out that well. :P

    Her? I thought this individual was a poor guy.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    He came darn close to the QS today (was at 3 ER in 5.2 IP when he gave up the bloop single). Yeah, he did. That was a cheap hit. Unless it's Ichiro swinging the bat, I wouldn't assume anyone who gets such a hit was actually trying to do that. And as a side not, I always thought a QS was 7 IP/3 ER. I looked it up though, and you're right. They should change that. I don't necessarily think a 4.50 ERA is quality. It's ok, but I think my meaning of quality is different. I don't see much point in tracking average/mediocre starts as a stat. Sorry, that was kind of a rant. I agree. I think the QS stat is too arbitrary - you're giving someone who gave up 3 ER in 6 IP the same amount of success as someone who gives up 2 in, say, 7.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Jae-Kuk Ryu (2-6, 3.84 ERA, 79.2 IP, 62/29, 1.28 WHIP) @ RHP Luke Hudson (2-0, 2.80 ERA) West Tenn: LHP JR Mathes (7-4, 2.97 ERA, 91 IP, 66/18, 1.16 WHIP) @ LHP Steve Hammond (0-0, 0.00 ERA) Daytona: RHP Justin Berg (5-6, 4.81 ERA, 82.1 IP, 65/41, 1.57 WHIP) @ LHP Jonathan Figueroa (0-3, 9.60 ERA) Peoria: RHP Scott Taylor: (3-3, 3.57 ERA, 63 IP, 29/11, 1.25 WHIP) vs. RHP Christopher Nicoll (3-5, 2.84 ERA) Boise: LHP Darin Downs (0-2, 11.74 ERA, 7.2 IP, 6/3, 2.22 WHIP)

    He came darn close to the QS today (was at 3 ER in 5.2 IP when he gave up the bloop single).
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Boise loses 1-0. Pawelek ran into some 2-out trouble in the 7th, giving up a single, a walk and an RBI single before being pulled for Michael Cooper who got out of the jam. Mark's line: 2.2 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 3/2. Colvin ended up going 1/4 with 2 Ks.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, I've been hearing the rumors too.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    So I'm guessing that's your pick the rest of the way? I think he was just referencing his sig.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    He replaces Womack on the roster. Correct? Williamson?
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Oh my.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    And let Soto play!?
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Well done.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    A couple pages late, but I agree.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Prior finishes with 101 pitches.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh. Oh great, Novoa in to let some inherited runners score.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa loses 2-1, Gwaltney takes the loss.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pittsburgh wins on a Freddy Sanchez walk-off!
