Wednesday's Box / Log / Gameday available here -- Lucroy batting 3rd, Green 8th, where's Lorenzo Cain?

 

Josh Butler featured in Tuesday's game story.

[Tedaldtada]

Rogers is just getting destroyed in the 3rd inning. Bad.

 

His fastball has been 91-94 with about 5-6'' of break. High 80's slider with about 6'' of break and a high 70's curve with about 12'' of break.

 

Edit: Rogers got pulled after allowing two 2-run bombs, 5 hits, and a walk. He got one guy out (on a line out). Woot coming in. Not looking good for the Javelinas. Wooten sitting 86-88 with his 4-seamer with 6-8'' of break, high 70's on his slider with 11'' of break, and 84-85 on the splitter with 9'' of break. Wooten limits the damage getting a K and flyout.

 

Edit 2: Oh man, Lucroy must've just missed a grand salami! He had bases loaded, no outs, and drove one to left. Gameday had it being caught at the wall by Ryan Kalish. Still got a RBI. I wonder if Kalish made a diving/leaping play because all of the runners advanced on the play. Green, leading off the inning, singled and scored on a bases loaded walk.

I don't know how accurate the system is, but gameday showed Lucroy's sac fly recorded right at the wall...just missing a grand slam.

[Tedaldtada]

Eventful top of the 4th for Wooten. Got David Cooper to FO with one pitch. Kalish singled (I like this guy a lot) and Matt Dominguez reached on a Taylor Green error at third. Now, with men at 1st and 3rd, Robby Woot got Casey Kelly to ground into a double play with Green starting it. Way to pick the pitcher and yourself up Taylor! Those are some pretty big names that Woot had to get through in that inning. Every single one of those guys will see the majors soon.

[twobrewers]

The guy has less than 20IP above high-A and less than 50IP the last two seasons.

Braddock pitched 71.1 innings in 2008. In 2009 he pitched 40.1 innings. (And that doesn't include the AFL) He has made at least 23 appearances in each season.

[Jim Goulart]

Lo Cain back in the leadoff spot Thursday afternoon, day off for Lucroy and Green, at least to start.

[Jim Goulart]

Lorenzo Cain reached three times in the Javelina's 8-1 loss. Omar Aguilar hasn't distinguished himself, and 2010 will be his age 25 season. With options in 2010 and 2011 remaining, he'd likely be claimed if removed off the 40-man, but you'd have to think his spot, if needed, is tenuous given his early failings at AA last season.

[Jim Goulart]

They're underway in a night affair Friday and Jonathan Lucroy had a two-out RBI single first time up.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Wooten 1 IP no hits, runs or walks. Struck out 2.

[battlekow]

Cain went 3-4 with a walk and three steals (all of second base). Lucroy was 1-4. Braddock pitched a perfect 9th with one K for the save.

[trwi7]

You missed Wooten pitching a scoreless inning with two K's.

 

Edit: Braddock was also 93-95 consistently tonight.

[battlekow]

The guy above me didn't...

[Jim Goulart]

Cain stole three of the Javelina's seven bases (as battlekow noted), giving him seven SB's in ten attempts this fall season.

 

This after going 3-for-6 in SB attempts in 60 games in the regular season. Gee, do you think his legs are feeling better?

[Jim Goulart]

Just a reminder we may get to see Mark Rogers try to break out of his AFL misery in the Rising Stars Game tonight (7:15 Central) either on MLB network or a live stream on MLB.com (hope they archive it).

[wvpowerblkwel]

Braddock picks up his third consecutive save in a perfect ninth....two ground balls and a strike out swinging to finish things off. Now has his ERA in the AFL below 1.00

[BrewCrewForever]

Looking forward to seeing Rogers pitch tonight. Still kind of think it is a joke that Lucroy and Braddock are not in this game.

[And That]

Braddock was scheduled to pitch yesterday... if we were on the roster, he wouldn't be available to pitch.

[BrewCrewForever]

Braddock was scheduled to pitch yesterday... if we were on the roster, he wouldn't be available to pitch.

Didn't know that. But still Lucroy not on the team? No excuse.

[battlekow]

Rogers didn't get in the game.

[tyguy20204]

That's weak.

[Invader3K]

From the little I saw of the game, Jamile Weeks (sp?) looked pretty good.

[SunGrasses]

From what we heard, to be in the Rising Stars game, you have to be either a 1st round pick or be on the 40-man roster - no matter what your numbers are in the AFL. We haven't research the rosters to see if this is true or not. Edited November 8, 2009 by SunGrasses

[colbyjack]

The Javelinas are playing a night game this evening, with Cain batting leadoff, Lucroy in the 2-hole and Green hitting 5th as the DH. Mark Rogers has even pitched two scoreless innings! Maybe getting the night off Saturday helped...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

 

11/9 Box Score

11/9 Gameday

 

Rogers sat at 93 with his fastball, getting up to 95 and not dropping below 92. Given how quickly he got through his two innings of work, it seemed as though his stuff was working for him a lot better tonight than it has been.

[wibadgers23]

Lucroy with two hits including a double and 2 rbi's.
