Huntsville Game Two Video

Stars Swept By M-Braves in Series-Ending Doubleheader By Alex Cohen / Huntsville Stars To wrap up their five-game series at Joe Davis Stadium, the Huntsville Stars were swept in a doubleheader by the Mississippi Braves on Monday night. In game one, starting pitcher Andy Moye took the loss, falling to 1-2 on the year after giving up three runs over five innings. Following three scoreless frames to begin his outing, Moye gave up an RBI single to M-Braves catcher Shawn McGill in the fourth inning to make the score 1-0. After an RBI single by fellow catcher Adam Weisenburger in the bottom half of the frame tied the game back up, a two-run double by Mississippi third baseman Edward Salcedo in the fifth inning put the M-Braves up for good. For insurance purposes, Mississippi first baseman Christian Marrero hit a solo homer of Huntsville righty Mark Rogers in the seventh to put the M-Braves up 4-1. Rogers gave up one run and walked three batters in 1.2 innings during his third appearance with the Stars on MLB rehab with the Brewers. For the M-Braves, starting pitcher Gus Schlosser improved to 2-1 on the year after giving up just one run over six innings against the Stars. The 24-year-old righty gave up just four hits and also struck out seven batters in the process. Mississippi righty Mark Lamm set down Huntsville scoreless in the seventh inning for his second save of the year. In game two, both pitching staffs dueled it out, in which the contest was still scoreless after seven innings, causing the game to go in to extra innings. For the Stars, lefty Alan Williams shut out the M-Braves through five innings in his second ever game started. The southpaw gave up just four hits while striking out four batters without walking anyone. Reliever Greg Holle blanked the Mississippi bats over two innings of work to send the game to extras. Unfortunately for Huntsville, the M-Braves hurlers returned the favor. Four Mississippi pitchers combined to strikeout 13 Stars hitters, shutting out Huntsville in the process for the second time in three games and fourth time this season. Mississippi reliever Pat Egan snagged the win, improving to 2-0 on the win pitching two innings of perfect baseball while striking out five of the six batters he faced. For the Stars, righty Casey Medlen was tagged with the loss. The 23-year-old righty fell to 1-2 on the year after the M-Braves batted around against him, scoring five runs in the eighth inning. Highlighting the offense surge by the M-Braves was a two-run double from pinch-hitter Shawn Mcgill, a two-run single by right fielder Jose Martinez and an RBI single from left fielder Dan Brewer. The losses for the Stars were there third and fourth in a row. In three, five-game series thus far during 2013, Huntsville has lost four of the games in each of them. Overall, the Stars have now lost 15 of their last 20 games since starting 4-1 on the year. Their 9-16 record puts them in last place in the Southern League North standings. After a league-wide off day on Tuesday, The Stars will bus to the southern tip of the state and start a five-game series at Hank Aaron Stadium with the Mobile BayBears on Wednesday. Huntsville will send RHP Jimmy Nelson (3-0, 1.30 ERA) to square off against BayBears RHP Michael Bolsinger (0-0, 2.53 ERA). First pitch is at 7:05 PM.

Not on the 40-man roster, so September would be the absolute earliest, when rosters expand, since he'll need to be added this offseason.

Link includes video interview Pain-free, Manatees pitcher is back where he started Lamontagne, 27, committed to comeback after arm injuries stalled career by John A. Torres, Florida Today At the end of the day, the only thing that wards off the sickening closed-throat feeling of regret and self-doubt is the ability to look in the mirror with the knowledge that you gave it your best. Not easy to do when your friends have settled down nicely into their lives: careers, homes, families and your right arm is betraying you at every turn. But that’s what drives Andre Lamontagne, a man among boys playing baseball for the Brevard County Manatees. Lamontagne, a 27-year-old right-handed pitcher coming back after missing the past two seasons due to arm injuries, is practically a senior citizen in the Florida State League, where most players are barely old enough to drink legally. The average age of players in the FSL, high Class-A ball, is 23. His right arm and four-pitch arsenal — fastball, slider, deuce and change-up — were good enough to catapult him from rookie ball to low A-ball, to high A-ball and finally Double-A during his first full season of pro ball in 2010. It was a magical ride up the ladder and there seemed little doubt Lamontagne would soon be pitching at Miller Park for the Brewers. But that was before the betrayal, before the right shoulder started getting sore, nearly derailing all of his boyhood dreams permanently. Nearly, but not quite. The 2011 season was spent doing physical therapy, trying to strengthen certain muscles, an attempt to chase the pain away. It didn’t work and the 2012 season was lost to shoulder surgery. The shoulder wasn’t the only thing hurting. “It was tough. I had big aspirations for 2011 and it was rough seeing a whole lot of guys I played with make it to the Major Leagues,” he said the other day from the dugout at Space Coast Stadium while his teammates took batting practice. “If you dwell on it too much then it becomes frustrating. But I tried not to let it get to me too much and just focus on the work, on the rehab and just getting better.” Even now, even though he is basically starting all over again, pitching for the Manatees the way he did in 2010, Lamontagne never gave walking away a single thought. “It was definitely tough not having a whole lot of money and rehabbing,” he said. “There was a lot of stress and it was very tough but I knew this was my career and this was what I wanted to do and felt that if I had given it up and gotten a job then I wouldn’t have been able to look back and say I gave it my best shot.” So, the 27-year-old minor leaguer reported to spring training and did just that. He worked hard, stayed behind when the team broke camp and then after a precautionary stint on the disabled list to begin the season, is pitching for the Manatees. “It’s good. I’m pain-free,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that I gave it my best shot and I have and it feels great.” They’re still baby-steps on the road to the big leagues. But, put enough baby steps together and who knows? “I’m not thinking that far ahead,” he said. “I’m just trying to get stronger and continue being pain free. Whatever happens happens. I saw what happened during my first year so I know it’s possible. What keeps me here is the love for the game. Hopefully one day I can get to the Major Leagues. I know it’ll be a lot sweeter than if I made it before.” Major Leagues or not, Lamontagne has already crushed any possibility of that sickening closed-throat feeling that comes with regret. That’s the first, maybe the most important, ‘W’ in the column.

RHP Tyler Cravy goes on the Brevard DL, which frees up the necessary spot for re-invented (sidearming LOOGY) Daniel Meadows on the Manatee roster.

RHP Jorge Lopez activated from Wisconsin's DL to fill open spot on roster; gets the start Monday night.

Should see Max Walla (broken left hand) soon, as per his tweet

Yikes, now this is a defensive slump... Through the season's first 11 games, Brevard County shortstop Yadiel Rivera had a clean error-free defensive sheet for the season and had recorded the most assists of any Major or Minor League player. In the 12 games since, Rivera has committed ten errors.
