August 10 - Chat with Nashville Infielder Ray Olmedo

Getting To Know Pitcher Chuck Löfgren

PDF documents: Nashville Media Notes Huntsville Media Notes True Utility Man: Chuckie Caufield made his fifth relief appearance last night in the bottom of the eighth. He’s pitched 3.2 innings this season for the Stars, even though he is normally an outfielder. Of the 37 pitches he’s thrown, 29 were for strikes. He’s struck out two of the 12 batters he’s faced and not allowed a single walk. He helped his own cause last night, hitting a home run in his lone plate appearance the next inning. Andy Machado, a utility infielder, has also appeared in five games as a relief pitcher, throwing 4.1 innings. He’s given up just two hits, walked two and struck out two. *** Rattler Radio Blog: August 10, 2010: Game Notes BACK IN THE TOP FIVE: Chris Dennis’s three-run homer ran his season total of RBI to 68. He is tied with Nate Freiman of Fort Wayne for fourth in the Midwest League in that category. Matt Davidson of South Bend leads the league with 74.

Link while active, text follows: Running from the rain By MARK VINSON, Helena Independent Record If the Helena Brewers are to build some momentum in the second half of the Pioneer League season, they will have to wait another day to begin. Helena’s scheduled game against the Billings Mustangs at Kindrick Legion Field was suspended because of wet grounds with Billings leading 2-0 in the top half of the fourth inning. “There were a couple of areas on the field that were really soft and our number one thing is the player’s safety,” Helena manager Joe Ayrault said. The game will resume today beginning at 6:00 PM (7:00 Central) prior to the start of the regularly scheduled game. A rain check from Monday’s game is good for admission. Rain began falling just after the first pitch Monday and —in the night’s ultimate irony — stopped not long after umpires Ramon Hernandez and Gavin Hanson decided to halt the game. But by that time the accumulation of moisture had rendered the field in such poor condition that the game was halted. “The sod behind home plate and on the pitcher’s mound was pretty rough,” Hanson said. “It got too muddy and too soupy, so we had to call it.” It’s the first time this season a Brewers game has been suspended or postponed. Both teams will enter today’s game with 4-5 records in the second half of the season. The elements seemed to affect pitchers the most. “It wasn’t so much the rain as it was the mud sticking to my spikes,” said Helena starter Even Frederickson, who allowed three hits and two runs in 3 2/3 innings. Frederickson was coming off a masterful performance against the Mustangs last week, when he struck out a career-high 12 in six hitless innings. On Monday, he allowed a base hit to the leadoff man, walked three in the first inning and was fortunate to allow just one run in the frame. “I was looking forward to pitching no matter who the opponent was,” he said. “Obviously, it didn’t go how I wanted it to. Just the footing played a pretty big role in that, but I didn’t throw as good as I wanted to.” Billings got a run in the first and added another in the fourth on a single by Oliver Santos and a double by Devin Lohmann. Lohmann reached third base on Frederickson’s second wild pitch of the inning and will be there when play resumes. “In the first inning, I might have changed my gameplan a little bit because of that and then realized that was the wrong thing to do,” he said. “The rest of the game I went out and pitched as if the conditions were fine. Stuff just wasn’t as sharp as last outing.” Just like last week’s 1-0 loss to the Mustangs, Helena failed to give Frederickson any run support, failing to get so much as a hit in three innings against Billings starter Daniel Tuttle. “Sometimes, that’s just how baseball is,” Frederickson said. “The pitching staff of Billings is a real good staff and they’ve been throwing well, especially when I pitch against them.”

Henderson played his college ball at Tennessee Wesleyan College. Henderson's two seasons as a reliever with the Tennessee Smokies were so productive that he was named to the 10th Anniversary Team last year. It didn't matter Monday night because Henderson was in a Huntsville jersey and in this series, the Smokies have been eating Stars pitchers alive. Tennessee blasted 21 hits to put a 16-6 beatdown on Huntsville. "I don't think we've swung the bats this well all year," Smokies manager Bill Dancy said. "This is a thing where your hot, you want to stay hot. You want to stay steady, swing the bats well and carry this into the playoffs." The Smokies (28-15) and the Stars (24-19) had a competitive race going into this five-game series. Now Tennessee has a four-game lead and has blown out Huntsville three consecutive nights. Henderson has taken the hard road to stay in Class AA baseball. Drafted in the 26th round by the Montreal Expos in 2003, Henderson bounced around before finally being cut by Chicago in 2008. The Brewers picked up Henderson and after spending two seasons in Class A ball, has solidified himself as a late reliever for Huntsville. "My junior year (at Tennessee Wesleyan) was actually my first full season pitching," Henderson said. "I've come a long way since then. I didn't know much about pitching back then. I just tried to throw the ball as hard as I could. Now I've learned how to command both sides to the plate and set up hitters and play with the scoreboard." This is Henderson's first season as a closer. Though his outing Monday night against the Smokies was a disaster, he's 3-1 on the season with five saves. With the Brewers struggling with their middle relievers, that's where Henderson hopes he'll find a home in the major leagues. "Starting for me is over," Henderson said. "I did it the first three years of my pro career. I think the Brewers are looking for guys to bridge the gap between starters and closers now. It's fun to close games and in the long term if that's where they need me, then that's where I'll be happy to pitch." Monday night won't be one for Henderson's highlight reel. Henderson gave up eight hits, nine runs and a walk in 1 1/3 innings of work. It wasn't just the Smokies bats that gave Huntsville trouble. Twice play had to be stopped because actual bats, the flying mammals, landed on the field and would not leave. First baseman Blake Lalli was again in danger of having his consecutive games hitting streak end. Instead, in a monster eighth inning where the Smokies scored nine runs, Lalli hit a hard, broken-bat base hit that put his streak at 13 games. Lead-off hitter Tony Campana, Morristown's Matt Spencer and Brandon Guyer each had three hits for the Smokies. Campana scored three runs. Guyer and Russ Canzler each drove in four.

Final: @DSL Athletics 3, DSL Brewers 0 DSL Brewers Box Score Like their Arizona brethren, plenty of baserunners based on five singles, a double, a walk, an HBP, a safe on error -- ten stranded, and 1-for-13 with RISP (non run-producing hit); 18-year-old SS Andres Martinez reached three times and remains interesting in his 2nd season, but his nearly .100 point increase in OBP is based purely on more singles (it's an interesting time to compare his numbers to last year as the AB numbers nearly match -- stat page); CF Ruben Sanchez, the only standout position player performer this season, only recently returned to full-time action after a HBP situation -- sure enough, he was HBP in the 4th here -- Sanchez remained in the tight game, fanned in the 7th, and then was lifted... Starting RHP Juan Francisco allowed seven hits and three walks in four innings, somehow limiting the damage to three runs (two earned); RHP's Joel Dicent (three innings) and Pedro Lambertus (one inning) pitched hitless, scoreless ball the rest of the way...

Final: Nashville 12, @Las Vegas (Blue Jays) 2 Sounds Blow Out Vegas Nashville Sounds LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Norris Hopper produced his second consecutive four-hit effort and Luis Cruz homered with four RBIs to lead the Nashville Sounds to a 12-2 rout of the Las Vegas 51s on Monday evening at Cashman Field. Hopper continued to swing a hot stick for Nashville, finishing 4-for-5. The veteran has produced multi-hit efforts in eight of his last 15 starts, batting .379 over that stretch (25-for-66). Cruz (3-for-5) homered for the second straight contest versus Las Vegas after not going deep since June 22. It marked the third time this season that Cruz has belted longballs in back-to-back games. The Sounds (61-55) earned consecutive wins against the 51s by producing a double-digit scoring output for the second straight evening. Las Vegas took a 1-0 lead in the bottom half of the third inning against Sounds spot starter Tim Dillard as a pair of walks came back to haunt the right-hander. After Brian Jeroloman and Jarrett Hoffpauir each drew a free pass to put runners on first and second with two outs, 51s first baseman Mike Jacobs ripped an RBI single to right to plate the first run of the contest. The Sounds stormed out to an 8-1 lead in the fifth as the visitors matched their largest single-inning scoring output of the season, sending 12 men to the plate during an eight-run rally against 51s starter Lance Broadway. Eric Farris and Mat Gamel (3-for-5) each contributed a two-run single in the frame (Farris' base hit is available via audio at the link above), while Ray Olmedo later added a two-RBI double then scored the eighth and final run on Hopper's second single of the inning. Olmedo finished 3-for-5 for the Sounds to continue his hot hitting for Nashville. The veteran is batting .426 (20-for-47) over his last 15 tilts, recording a knock in 13 of them. Jeroloman belted his second home run of the year in the bottom of the frame, a one-out solo shot to left off Dillard, to make it an 8-2 game. Nashville tacked on a pair of runs against ex-Sound Zach Jackson with a two-out rally in the sixth. Gamel ripped a two-out double and the visitors filled the bases against the left-hander as Brendan Katin and Joe Koshansky drew back-to-back walks. Cruz then followed with his second run-scoring knock of the evening, a two-run single to right that increased the visitors' lead to 10-2. The Sounds upped their advantage to 11-2 an inning later as Olmedo led off with a single, his third hit of the night, and later scored on catcher Martin Maldonado's sacrifice fly. Cruz wrapped up the night's scoring in the ninth with a leadoff solo homer off 51s right fielder Jason Lane, who worked the final inning from the hill for Las Vegas. The roundtripper was the infielder's eighth of the season. Dillard (3-5) earned his second win in three starts for the Sounds this season after allowing two runs on five hits over five innings of work. The Nashville bullpen worked four scoreless frames behind the right-hander to close out the victory, including two innings of one-hit ball with four strikeouts by Carlos Villanueva. Broadway (2-11) was saddled with the loss after surrendering eight runs on 10 hits over his five innings of work for the 51s. The teams continue the series with another 9:05 PM CT meeting on Tuesday. Left-hander Chase Wright (7-7, 4.50) will take the hill for the Sounds to face Las Vegas right-hander Marc Rzepczynski (5-5, 6.04). Nashville Box Score Mat Gamel played first base -- he committed a fielding error in the 4th; Gamel went 3-for-5 with a double, so the switch didn't hurt his day at the plate; the 6-7-8 combo of Luis Cruz, Ray Olmedo, and Norris Hopper went 10-for-15 with six runs scored and seven RBI; RHP Tim Dillard is under control for another year, so he'll be in Oklahoma City or wherever the Crew's AAA home lands in 2011; RHP Brandon Kintzler allowed a double and single but kept his inning scoreless...

Final: @Arizona Dodgers 2, Arizona Brewers 0 Dear Brewer broadcast production crew: Please don't post a fan email question asking about the status of Jody Gerut during a game if you're not going to feed Brian and Bill the proper answer beforehand -- Gerut now has two full weeks of Maryvale action and over 30 AB's under his belt. He's not still "sitting at home", guys. Not that it matters. Thank you. Arizona Box Score We demand that someone from RHP Michael (Mike?) Schaub's L.A-area high school fill us in on the 18-year-old -- three scoreless, one-hit innings in his start here, no walks, two K's, seven groundouts, no flyouts; a two-run triple off of LHP Charly Bashara in the 4th produced the game's only runs; Bashara (seven K's in four innings) and fellow southpaw Dexter Bobo (two K's in one frame) followed Schaub... The aforementioned Mr. Gerut doubled, singled, and walked; 1B Demetrius McKelvie 0-for-4 with three more K's, that's 45 K's in 88 AB's and I think I'm going to give the young man a break and forego future 2010 mentions except for the positive; the wonderful 2B Nick Shaw on base three more times; the A-Crew had five hits, five walks, one safe on error, one GIDP, and that adds up to 10 LOB, 0-for-12 with RISP, and a shutout for the Dodgers...

Billings pitcher thinks he's Ian Kennedy through three innings -- he does have his no-hitter intact, though... HBP: Walker (by Tuttle), George (by Tuttle), Vucinich (by Tuttle). *** Monday night's game against the Billings Mustangs was called in the top of the fourth inning due to wet grounds. The game was suspended with Billings leading 2-0 with with a runner at third and two outs. Monday's game will be completed Friday at 6:00 PM (7:00 Central) with a seven-inning game to follow.

Ejections: Tennessee Smokies Batting Coach Tom Beyers ejected by 1B umpire Chris Graham (8th). So let's see -- as the batting coach, your team scores 16 runs on 21 hits (including nine doubles and two home runs) plus five walks, and you get yourself kicked out in the 8th inning. Brainiac. 9-2, 13-3, 16-6 -- nice series thus far, sigh.

Something to watch -- Brevard SS Josh Prince was pulled after grounding out in the 8th inning. D-Jays snap five game skid with 7-2 win By Tim Livingston / Dunedin Blue Jays This time, the rain didn't stop things completely, and that was good enough for the D-Jays. After a 32-minute rain delay, the Dunedin Blue Jays woke up the sleeping bats and Chuck Huggins had another quality start as they broke their five game losing streak with a 7-2 win over the surging Brevard County Manatees. With the game scoreless after the top of the second inning, rain started to fall at Dunedin Stadium, and although it was a strong storm, it didn't last long enough to put the field out of commission, where heavy rains over the last couple of days had led to the postponement of one game against the Palm Beach Cardinals and a delay of the series opening doubleheader between the D-Jays and Manatees. But after the teams returned to the field, Dunedin (60-55, 19-26 2nd half) was ready to go offensively, and basically put the game away right out of the rain delay with the bottom half of the second inning. With one out, Yan Gomes doubled to right field, and after Jon Talley was hit by a pitch, Mark Sobolewski singled to right to load the bases for Ryan Goins, who has started to come around after his early struggles following a promotion from Lansing. Goins ripped a double to deep center field over the head of Juan Sanchez, clearing the bases and giving the D-Jays a 3-0 lead, more than enough for Huggins (8-3), who pitched very well a start after giving up six runs in only two innings against Palm Beach on August 4. Huggins left two runners on with one out in the seventh inning, giving way to Evan Crawford and a 5-0 Dunedin lead. Crawford gave up an infield single to Brock Kjeldgaard to load the bases, and then a single to Sean Halton that scored two, as a throwing error from Goins at shortstop allowed the second runner to come around, making it a 5-2 game. Crawford then got Shawn Zarraga to ground out and end the threat. Dunedin would add two runs in the later innings, as Mike McDade scored on a wild pitch in the seventh to push the lead to 6-2, and he was involved in a very odd play for Dunedin's final run in the eighth. With one out, both Justin McClanahan and Brian Van Kirk walked to bring McDade to the plate, and McDade singled to left-center field. McClanahan raced around to score easily, and as the throw came in to try and nail him down, McDade headed towards second base thinking that Van Kirk would advance to third. But Van Kirk stopped halfway between second and third, forcing McDade to get in a race with the catcher Zarraga to first base. When Zarraga saw that McDade would make it easily, he looked to Van Kirk, who was still between the bags, and threw it to second base, instigating a rundown that was ended by, of all players, the left fielder Kjeldgaard, a play that went down in the book as a 9-2-4-5-7 putout. Michael McDade singles on a line drive to center fielder Juan Sanchez. Justin McClanahan scores. Brian Van Kirk out at 3rd on the throw, center fielder Juan Sanchez to catcher Shawn Zarraga to second baseman Steve Braun to third baseman Sergio Miranda to left fielder Brock Kjeldgaard. That wackiness aside, the ninth inning was calm for Crawford, who sent down the Manatees in order to halt a five game skid and ease the jets of Brevard County (54-60, 28-17), who now sit in third place in the Florida State League North Division for the second half of the season. Dunedin became the sixth team in the FSL to reach 60 wins on the season. Tampa leads the league with 63 wins overall. Cody Scarpatta (7-9), who lit up the D-Jays in his last start at Dunedin Stadium, lasted only three innings and gave up three runs on four hits while walking one and striking out three. It was his first loss against Dunedin this season. The D-Jays finish off a seven day, eight game homestand with the finale of a three day, four game series with the Manatees on Tuesday night at 7:00 Pm (6:00 Central). No pitcher has been named for Dunedin, as scheduled starter Chad Beck had to fill in as an emergency starter for Ryan Page on Sunday during the doubleheader.

PDF document: Nashville Media Notes TOOL TIME: Baseball America released the results of its annual “Best Tools” survey of PCL skippers today. Sounds infielder Luis Cruz was named as the league’s best defensive shortstop. Nashville’s Alcides Escobar picked up the same honor a year ago. Cruz was the only Sounds player mentioned in the survey, which tabbed former Salt Lake OF Peter Bourjos as the PCL’s most exciting player.
