Iowa (AAA)

The Iowa cubs pulled out a 9-6 victory. Al's favorite AAA player (Les Walrond) got another W tonight with 7 mediocre innings (4ER, 7H, 2BB, and 4Ks). Rapada got the cheap 3 run 1 out save. Pignatello pitched another scoreless inning and his ERA is now 0.87.

As for the offense- yet again a team effort. Patterson (2B), Fontenot, and Soto all had two hits. One of those for Soto was a HR plus Richie hit another tater. 6 of the first 7 batters for Iowa are at .299 or better. S Moore being the low BA (.236) but his OBP is still very solid around .350.

Tenn (AA)

Got stomped 10-3. Berg started and was poor again (7ER in 5IP). Only two hitters worth mentioning: J Fox (1B) hit 2 dingers to bring his total to 13 for the year and Kroeger (RF) went 3 for 4 with a bomb (#10)(why is he in AA again?).

Hi A Daytona won 7-5.

A five run 1st helped propel the club to victory. Reinhard started and pitched 4 shut out innings. He was taken down on pitch counts as he just moved back to starting after being a reliever for a while. Downs got the W with 2 innings of 0 ER (2 unearned runs though). Layden got his 2nd save with 1.1 innings of no hit ball with 3Ks.

Several hitting stars...Colvin and Amador each go 3 for 5. Colvin gets 2 RBIs and 1 Run with a double. Amador gets 2 Runs and 1 RBI with a triple and a SB. Chrinos goes 3 for 4 with a SB and Valdez goes 2 for 4. The gloves need some work though as the team had 3 errors on the night.

Peoria (A) loses 6-4.

They kind of looked like the big league club of years past. They outhit the opposition 14-6 but still managed to lose. Pina goes 4 and gives up 4. Bernard then gave up 2 in 1.2 innings. Maestri finished up with 2.1 innings of 1 hit ball with 0BBs and 2Ks.

Lots of hits but little too show for it. 3 GIDP were big for Clinton. Malone (2b), Norwood (1b), and Castillo (C) each had 3 hits and one of Malones was his 2nd dinger of the year. Adduci (LF) and Lalli (DH) each had 2 hits as well. 8 LOB was the difference.

Sorry for the links but I don't know the fancy way to do it. Hope you like the update.

So

Does any think Colvin should be bumped up to AA soon? He still needs to walk more, but he is hitting the crap out of the ball. I am not worried about him power numbers because he hits a lot of doubles which gives me hope.
