Sunday, bloody Sunday

this blog is full of crap (Free subscription) | 09/13/2009

Coop continues to play Tejada, Lee, Matsui, and Berkman in September despite being out of the race and having a large slate of call-ups rotting on the bench, needing further major-league testing. Yeah, it's the Pirates. The closest thing MLB has to a JV squad. (The DC Expos are worse in the standings, but the Pirates work hard at their incompetence. Coop looks like he wants to end his year with .500...

Mighty Moises

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 09/07/2009

I've been waiting all season for a perfect 5-0 day from the affiliates. Could the final Sunday of the season be the one? Las Vegas 3 Portland 2 (10 innings) Not even a homer by Russ Adams could beat the 51s on this night. Poor ol' Russ isn't exactly tearing it up with the Beavers, putting together a .680 OPS over 35 games. In any event, J.P. Arencibia had a decent night, going 3-for-5 with an RBI....

The A&M Way

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 09/04/2009

As the season winds down in the minors the affiliates won two of five games last night. Las Vegas won on the strength of a one hit-around inning while some of Auburn�s bats came to life, at least temporarily. Meanwhile, Lansing and Dunedin both lost by two and the Fisher Cats lost a tough game. Players with the initials A and M turned in the two best performances on the farm. Fresno 8 @ Las...

Giant Killers Times Two!

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 09/02/2009

The top two minor league affiliates swept a doubleheader of sorts against their San Francisco counterparts and number three laid the smack down on a Yankees affiliate. Those are the highlights of a 3-2 night on the farm. Las Vegas 7 Fresno 3 Las Vegas, NV - It didn't look like this one was going to go the 51's way after the first two-and-a-half innings. Former Twin/Brewer/Royal/Giant Matt Kinney, who...

No Where Near Weekly Poll

Arencibia Scott Campbell Howie Clark Buck Coats Brian Dopirak Brett Harper Jason Lane Aaron Mathews Kyle Phillips Angel Sanchez Someone...

A Wild, Wild, Wild Walk-Off

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/28/2009

The GCL Blue Jays won in extras thanks to a wild eleventh inning. Meanwhile, Las Vegas won a rare 1-0 game with a four-man shutout. New Hampshire lost and Dunedin split their doubleheader because of a Tampa grand slam in the first game, but won the second on a three-run triple by Eric Thames. Auburn and Lansing won by the same 3-1 score with key relief being provided by Mathew Morgal and Jason Roenicke,...

Another Forgettable Day

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/27/2009

Four losses and two games were postponed or cancelled. Ho hum. Reno 6 @ Las Vegas 4 � Boxscore Fabio Castro started and nearly got the quality start, going 5.2 innings and allowing three runs. He struggled with his control, walking five against five strikeouts. Bill Murphy entered in relief and took the loss to fall to 0-6. Murphy surrendered two runs on two hits and two walks in 1.2 innings...

Playing Out the String

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/24/2009

Honestly, this was depressing to read and write about. Absolutely nothing of note went on for the affiliates as they picked up one win in five tries. I'm just writing out the string at this point. Las Vegas 5 Salt Lake 6 Kevin Howard , Buck Coats , and Jason Lane each had two hits for the 51s while Aaron Mathews drove in a pair. J.P. Arencibia was 0-for-3 but did manage a walk. Davis Romero started...

Lethal Lansing

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/21/2009

Two wins in seven games. It seems relatively typical for the way things are going right now with this organization. One of the wins came in Las Vegas behind David Purcey and the other came behind a big night at the plate for Lansing. Tim Collins took a rare loss in New Hampshire and Dunedin lost a twin bill. Meanwhile, Auburn suffered another loss and the GCL Blue Jays fell apart in extra innings....

Schimpf Steps Upf

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/20/2009

Three wins in four tries. Ryan Schimpf went 4-4 with a home run to lead Auburn to victory. TJ Beam pitched well as Las Vegas won. And the GCL Jays won a slugfest 12-11, Michael Crouse is heating up and he added four more hits in this game. New Hampshire took the only loss for the affiliates as a two out error in the ninth proved costly. Brad Emaus however hit a home run and had three RBI's. Dunedin...

The Cooper Nails It

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/13/2009

David Cooper had a big night, three hits including a two run game winning home run in the ninth inning. Lansing won in extra innings, or rather South Bend loast it as the Lugnuts last five runs were unearned. The GCL Jays won behind a three hitter. Las Vegas, Dunedin and Auburn each lost. Las Vegas 4 Iowa 5 Las Vegas jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning. Howie Clark doubled, Travis Snider...

Starting Pitching Better Than Clutch Hitting

Batter's Box Interactive Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/12/2009

The affiliates could easily have gone 6-0 but they had to settle for a split as two games got away in extra innings and another was lost in the late going. The hitting with runners in scoring position was abysmal but there were a number of good performances turned in on the hill. Iowa 4 Las Vegas 2 Des Moines, IA - Lefty Fabio Castro only gave up a double over the first three innings but he got cuffed...
