Link Report for Games of Wednesday, June 24th

[brewmann04]

best news all night R.J. Seidel is back on the mound when it was talked he will miss the whole season.

[battlekow]

If Dillard's game continues to be, uh, interesting, you can actually watch it for a fee.

[battlekow]

And there goes the interestingness.

[battlekow]

Garfield extends his hitting streak to two with a double.

[TheCrew07]

I followed the call correctly, here's the game log from the Helena base running blunder in the 5th.

 

Helena Bottom 5th

 

* Defensive switch from third base to shortstop for David Narodowski.

* Defensive Substitution: Raywilly Gomez replaces shortstop Antonio Sepulveda, batting 9th, playing third base.

* Derrick McPhearson grounds out, second baseman David Nick to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.

* Joshua Prince walks.

* With Kyle Dhanani batting, Joshua Prince steals (4) 2nd base.

* Kyle Dhanani walks.

* Pitcher Change: Keith Cantwell replaces Anthony Smith.

* Scott Krieger reaches on a fielder's choice out, third baseman Raywilly Gomez to catcher Errol Hollinger. Joshua Prince to 3rd. Kyle Dhanani out at 3rd.

* Chris Ellington strikes out swinging.

edit 4. I didn't expect this either, Arnett walks a guy, hits a guy, then walks another to load the bases. The trainer is out to check on Arnett now? Pitching coach, manager, and trainer all at the mound.

I just tuned in. What was the result of all that? Is he okay? They just said Ben Jeffers is warming up.

[TheCrew07]

He gave up a single then got out of the inning. Wendt was speculating a blister, I'm not sure though, I hope something is in the game story about it.

Wendt just said he had blister/nerve problems in his bullpen the other day and that he threw 32 pitches in his inning.

[battlekow]

Haha, Prince with his fourth steal of the game.

 

EDIT: Prince continues his daring baserunning, barely safe at third advancing on an error by the shortstop.

[BrewCrewWS2008]

Dykstra bumped his head and has concussion like symptoms which is why he isn't playing thus far.

 

damn thats kind of a blow, hope he recovers fast, those things can linger pretty bad and really throw off your game if you try to play throw it.

[BrewCrewWS2008]

Haha, Prince with his fourth steal of the game.

wow thats crazy! 6 in to games now....some made a comment about the Mel Stocker tcall up a few years ago in a different tread towards Farris because at the time he was 19 for 19 i think but ha maybe Prince a guy to think about for that. No hitting just pinch running. I heard he had blazing speed but yeah wow

[Never Outhustled]

Is Brett Whiteside being converted into a pitcher? If not, its about time to start.

 

Cameron Garfield is amazing. Doug Melvin even commented on him during an interview during the Brewers game. Do we really draft a batspeed guy that can hit AND defend?

[TheCrew07]

best news all night R.J. Seidel is back on the mound when it was talked he will miss the whole season.

I didn't realize that would be tonight already... he got hit pretty hard.... 7H, 6R, 5ER, 1BB, 3K all in 3IP

[battlekow]

Wendt very complimentary about Garfield's ball-blocking ability. No word on how good he is at $!*+-blocking.

[battlekow]

Cameron Garfield is amazing. Doug Melvin even commented on him during an interview during the Brewers game.

Yeah, but Doug managed to neglect to mention the kid's name.

Wendt has been gushing about him all game, the only somewhat negative thing he said was that Garfield gets a little "shifty" back there from time to time.

 

edit. Battlekow I hate how you type faster than me!

 

edit 2. I didn't mention it because I reading Al's post in the issues forum at the time but Garfield also had a real nice hook slide around the tag at home plate on the run he scored.

[battlekow]

Eh, it was his first game back. I'm sure he was just trying to figure everything out again. I wouldn't worry about the numbers too much; at least he only walked one guy.

[battlekow]

Trejo's now equaled his walk total at Wisconsin in two games at Helena. Prince is on first again. I can't wait.

[TheCrew07]

Prince on with a single, a chance to increase his SB total.

 

edit. Must you always beat me by less than a minute? And Prince gets SB #5

[wibadgers23]

Wow, 5 SB for Prince. Incredible.

Six now!

[battlekow]

Six!

[battlekow]

Hell, he might as well try to steal home at this point.

[BrewPackBuck]

Didnt Carl Crawford get six this season in one game in the ML to set the record? If so look out for Prince, he is coming for it.

[battlekow]

I think I just got Prince into tomorrow's Minor League Update on BP.

[TheCrew07]

I must say, even if the H-Crew lose, this game has been extremely entertaining even with the tough pitching lines for the Helena young men.
