PrintAnyone else want to just chuck the whole major league team and start over? Let's see the lineup: 1. Thomas 2B 2. Castro SS 3. Vitters 3B 4. Fox 1B (We'll count him as a minor leaguer) 5.Colvin LF 6. Clevenger C 7. Burke CF 8. Guyer RF 9. Jackson SP. OK, they'd lose 120 games. But they'd at least be interesting. And we'd get Bryce Harper next year.
Iowa Cubs
The I-Cubs were stopped by the Round Rock Express 8-4.
Greg Reinhard started and took the loss, giving up five runs in only three innings. Reinhard surrendered eight hits and a walk while fanning four.
Right fielder So Taguchi led off the game with his first home run of the year. It was his only hit in five trips to the plate.
Second baseman Luis Rivas went 2 for 4.
Tennessee Smokies
The Smokies were eclipsed by the Huntsville Stars, 3-2.
Marcos Mateo pitched well, allowing only one run on five hits in his five inning start. The one run scored on a solo home run. Mateo didn't walk anyone and struck out two. He did hit two batters.
Jake Muyco took the loss in relief when he allowed a solo home run in the ninth. Muyco pitched one inning and allowed only that one home run. He struck out two.
Right fielder Doug Deeds was 2 for 4 and scored a run.
Daytona Cubs
The D-Cubs denied the Fort Myers Miracle, 5-1.
Andrew Cashner continues to put up zeros on the scoreboard, pitching another four innings today, allowing no runs on two hits. Cashner walked three and struck out three. He has now not allowed a run in his last three starts, which spanned 12 innings.
Dustin Sasser got the win because Cashner didn't go five. He pitched three innings and allowed one unearned run on two hits and a walk. Sasser struck out four.
Second baseman Nate Samson had a big day. He went 4 for 5 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Peoria Chiefs
The Chiefs rode a nine-run eighth inning to skin the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, 15-6.
Starter Aaron Shafer had a rough game, allowing five runs on six hits over five innings. Shafer walked two and struck out two.
Jeffrey Beliveau is putting up some ridiculous numbers for Peoria this season. Today he pitched four innings and allowed one run on two hits and two walks. The ridiculous part was that he struck out eight. Beliveau has now struck out 72 batters in only 53 innings this season.
The Chiefs banged out 17 hits today, led by Drew Rundle, who was 4 for 5 with a double. Rundle scored three times and had one RBI.
Josh Vitters, Ryan Flaherty and Rebel Ridling each went 2 for 5 with a run scored. Vitters had one RBI, Flaherty two and Ridling three. Both of Ridling's hits were doubles.
Right fielder Nelson Perez was 2 for 6 with two RBI and a run scored. We're also past the MWL All-Star Break and I don't think I've called him Nelson Cruz yet, which is something of a miracle. Not only do they have similar names, they're similar players.
Boise Hawks
The Hawks came home today and managed to defeat the Yakima Bears, 3-2.
Jeffry Antigua got the win with four innings of shutout relief. He gave up three hits and a walk while striking out three.
Second baseman Logan Watkins was 2 for 4. Catcher Alvaro Sosa went 2 for 3.

Bad Shot of Taguchi HR
FSN Southwest only got a shot of Taguchi’s HR from the press box camera. It was still good to see the I-Cubs last night on TV and see the Dell Diamond in Round Rock. The game replays tonight at 6:30 PM central on FCS Central.

I watched part of this game. I was hoping to see good things from Reinhard, but he got hit pretty hard. The announcers said he was topping out at 88-89 MPH. He may not be a major league prospect after all.
Anyone else think Taguchi would be a usefull callup to replace Miles?

Promotions
RHP Andrew Cashner to Tennessee
RHP Chris Carpenter to Daytona
Link
They have a link over at Northsidebasebll.com. Also thee Peoria Chief announcer frequents over there.
Yeah
The Chiefs announcer said Carpenter was promoted but he didn’t know who (if anyone) would be coming up to Peoria yet. A Daytona season ticket holder posted at NSBB that Cashner was up to TN. I still have yet to see a link for that one on the Internet.
No need
to officially promote Cashner for a few days, since he pitched last night and won’t pitch again for a few days.

Colvin
Any chance Tyler Colvin gets a september call up?
And, of course, I didn't get over to Peoria yet this year
My fault. Good on Josh.
