    Logan Schafer and Martin Maldonado, Saturday, became respectively, the 199th and 200th former Huntsville Stars to graduate to the majors. Schafer struck out against the Astros' David Carpenter in the top of the 9th. Maldonado came in as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the 9th and handled a foul pop that inning.

    See you in Huntsville, next year, Hunter!

    We had no power tonight (Thursday). Peralta lost the game before we got to the 3rd. That's 8 in a row now -- the longest since the tail end of the 2009 season. They're going to have to pull themselves out of this mess.I told friends during their hot April start that they were playing way above their abilities. On paper, they were terrible. I was right.

    The Stars have now lost 9 off 11 extra-inning games going back to 2009.

    The ball hit above the yellow line out in CF where for many years one of the speakers was planted. The ball bounced back, possibly after hitting an old mount. Oddly, Birmingham manager Bobby Magallanes, coaching at third, never protested, but Seth Loman, who connected on the hit, did, and the third base ump apparently had enough of him and threw him out during the next half-inning. BTW, the loss ended a 7-0 start AT HOME for the Stars -- the longest streak in their history from the start of a season. They won 6 straight at home at the start of the 2008 season.

    Martin Maldonado was hit in the knee by a pitch in the 8th inning and taken out of the game. Don't know how serious. I wasn't there tonight. This came one inning after he hit a 3-run HR in the Stars' 7-run 7th vs. Birmingham.

    This comes almost a year to the day after the Stars' last one-hitter -- an 11-1 victory at Chattanooga (on April 10)! Oddly, the Stars were involved in another one-hitter a year before that! On April 12, 2009 at Joe Davis Stadium, a leadoff hit in the 1st (a double by Adam Stern) was all the Stars could get in a 3-0 loss to Mobile. This was the 15th one-hit victory fashioned by the Stars since 1985, and the 6th since the Stars became a Milwaukee affiliate.

    In Jacksonville, Brandon Jones tonight hit 3 doubles in a game in his first three at-bats. He's the 23rd Huntsville Star in history to do hit 3 doubles in a game, and the 12th since the Stars became a Milwaukee affiliate. Taylor Green and Caleb Gindl turned that trick last year.

    Five Huntsville pitchers combine to allow just three hits, the fewest in the Stars' Brewer era. Matt Ford and three relievers allowed just four hits in the 2004 opener vs. Montgomery. It's the fewest hits given up by the Stars in an opener since 1989 when Will Schock, Steve Maye, and Joe Klink, carried a no-hitter into the 9th. They beat Greenville, 3-1 with a one-hitter, April 7. Sean Halton and Taylor Green drive in 2 apiece and collect 5 of the Stars' 7 hits.
  10. hsvstarsfan
    The last time a Stars pitcher took a no-hitter this deep was 2004, when Matt Ford went five vs. Montgomery in a game the Stars eventually won, 5-4. Peralta goes 5 1/3 before Mattison's triple.

    Peralta allows his first baserunners in the 3rd, but gets out of two on, two out situation as he gets ss Chris Gutierrez to fly out to Caufield. Wily has thrown 44 pitches in 3 innings. Both runners reached on walks.
  12. hsvstarsfan
    Jacksonville pitcher Dallas Trahern threw 25 pitches in the 1st inning.
  13. hsvstarsfan
    Huntsville opening up against Jacksonville for the first time since 2003, first time IN Jacksonville since 1999, the Stars first season as a Brewer affiliate. The lineup:Haydel, cfMiranda, 2b Lucroy, cGreen, 3bHalton, 1bJones, lfCaufield, rfSanchez, ssPeralta, p. Back-to-back doubles by Taylor Green and Sean Halton followed one out walks to Miranda and Lucroy. Stars lead 3-0 in the top of the 2nd.

    I won't be happy till we have a honest-to-God scoreboard that is fully operational. We fans, who still show up, deserve it.

    Why are you having your game broadcasts from the seating bowl this season? Very simply, to add to the fan experience. First, they've got to have fans.

    Quite an upgrade. I hope the people of Pensacola upgrade will embrace their club. The ballpark location is fantastic. I would regret seeing the Stars leave Huntsville, but the city, from its mayor and council to the people who live in the area, have shown how they feel about baseball. Miles Prentice did little to nothing for the fans, even though he had the money to bring us a new ballpark that could compete with the newer ballparks in the league. Management frittered away its valuable goodwill by disbanding the old Booster Club, alienating many fans including season ticketholders. The "quality of life" factors Huntsville's city leaders brag about as they try to sell the city to those who are affected by base realignment (BRAC) closures becomes a joke. There was little to attract visitors here (unless they like to shop a lot) and there will be even less after the Stars leave, assuming the worse. As for me, I regret to say I am discontinuing www.starsboxscore.com and will no longer be renewing my subscription with my server. It's really hard to care when so many people in the position of keeping the Stars here, from the top down, no longer care. I'll continue to follow the Brewers, the Stars, and the Southern League through this website, and contribute at my free will. however, I feel like a Brooklyn Dodger fan in 1957, and it's difficult to get excited about their future, when there seems to be no future.

    The Angels have extended their AA relationship with Arkansas thru 2012. Now the once-remote possibility that the Brewers would return to Huntsville for 2011 grows larger. The Tigers have yet to renew their relationship with Erie.

    I just asked him and he said they don't have a radar gun but he's guessing 90-92.I was told by a scout sitting two rows below me that he topped out at 94.

    That's unfortunate. In the quarter-century history of the Stars at Joe Davis Stadium, the fans here have been very well-behaved. There have never been any major incidents, and the beer drinkers who've gotten out of hand have been rare. This area behind the bullpen has been a great spot to get autographs before a game. Now one person has totally ruined it for everyone. I can't blame Buck for doing what he did. The safety of the players, as much as the fans, are of paramount concern. And I can't blame security, for I've seen them do an excellent job over the years of taking care of the obnoxious types who come disguised as fans.

    The hitting streak is 14. Justin Bowles established that during the Stars' Oakland era in 1998. He tied the Brewer-era streak though, set by Mickey Lopez.
  21. hsvstarsfan
    Brett went 4-for-6 Monday night, snapping a 2-for-23 slump.There's no telling how far the Stars will go now if Cain, Gindl, Lucroy, and Green stay hot. Together those four players are hitting .380 with 29 RBIs, accounting for 59% of the team total.
  22. hsvstarsfan
    I saw it as a 2-4 with a 3-2 count on McCraw. Looked like a simple CS, cause Haydel tried to slide in, but I don't know why it doesn't turn up in the box score, but a throw from Hatcher nailed him at second. Maybe someone else can clarify what went on.
  23. hsvstarsfan
    The Stars are airing all of their road games and SOME of their home games on WTKI this year. That will explain why you didn't hear the game on 1450.
  24. hsvstarsfan
    I'm in, too. Going to the Joe tomorrow, so my pick is Caleb Gindl.
  25. hsvstarsfan
    I saw the game in Chattanooga. Mark had a good fast ball, but he got a bit lucky tonight. He was too often up in the strike zone.
