Young players=the win!

Disappointing but not unexpected, good luck Mike.

I'm surprised that Tyler Robers isn't bumping up to Helena.

Why is that necessary? We're no where near 500 this, and then Fielder is in a walk year anyway. If I can get 2 top of rotation arms for 1 year of Fielder, I make the deal 10 times out of 10. We need pitching and we'll be fine, if we don't get any pitching then yes this below .500 deal is going to extend at least another year. Rivas and Rogers could jump up to MLB and make all the difference for us next season, next year is Rogers final option year so it's very difficult to project what's going to happen with the rotation. Either way I'd like more impact depth with the losses of Braddock and Jeffress to the bullpen. Fielder's value to the team directly correlates to how the team is performing. If we're sub .500 team with him, I say take the best deal you can get. If we're in the hunt, then I don't think it's that black and white, and Melvin probably buys at the deadline and I piss and moan about how sort sighted he is.

Where was that reported? Everything I read from Nashville and Milwaukee said that he putting in extra work daily on his fielding. I think I maybe remember something about extra batting practice, but I remember him working very hard on his fielding.

Sure but how valuable are those wins if we aren't to compete for anything?

You'd walk away from Davis and Alexander Colome for Fielder? I sure as heck wouldn't... A pitcher who's a solid bet to be a very good #2 and another pitcher who has the stuff to be an Ace who's still in A ball. Colome only has 2 bad starts all year, and they were back to back games on Jun 2 and Jun 9. I'd bump Heckathorn up to A+ and insert Colome into the Wisconsin rotation in a heartbeat. BA on Colome:

Very true... at any rate Logan must be one mentally tough young man.

Depending on the situation you can play through a nernia, how the hell do you play through a broken foot? The pain must have been excruciating with every step...

Final: Nashville 10, Oklahoma City (Texas) 4 Sounds Take Down RedHawks In Series Opener Nashville Sounds NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds defeated the Oklahoma City RedHawks, 10-4, on Friday evening in front of 7,319 fans at historic Greer Stadium in the opener of a four-game series. Nashville batters legged out seven doubles, one shy of the franchise single-game record, among their 13 hits on the evening and had multiple-hit efforts from six players in the win, the third in the row for the Sounds (36-31). Third baseman Mat Gamel went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored to extend the Sounds' longest active hit streak to seven games (11-for-26, .423). Erick Almonte drove in a team-high three runs in the game and Joe Koshansky contributed a pair of doubles and two RBIs. Oklahoma City left fielder Mitch Moreland gave the visitors a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning with a one-out solo homer to dead center off Sounds starter Tim Dillard. The blast was the outfielder's fifth of the year. The Sounds evened the contest in the home half of the frame when Brendan Katin and Koshansky led off the frame with back-to-back doubles off RedHawks starter Tanner Scheppers. Nashville continued to use the two-bagger as an offensive weapon an inning later as it took a 3-1 lead in the third. Trent Oeltjen drew a one-out walk from Scheppers and scored when Gamel drilled an RBI double into the right field corner to push the Sounds into the lead. Two batters later, Koshansky registered his second run-scoring double of the night to plate Gamel. Dillard took a no-decision in his first start of the year for the Sounds. He held the RedHawks to one run on two hits while striking out five batters in five innings. He left the contest holding a 3-1 lead. Todd Coffey worked a clean inning in his first rehab appearance for Nashville, retiring the side in the order in the sixth. The Brewers right-hander recorded one strikeout and a pair of groundouts in his 13-pitch outing. Mitch Stetter took over on the Nashville hill in the seventh and suffered a blown save when Oklahoma City designated hitter Chad Tracy slugged a three-run homer to left-center off the southpaw to push the visitors in front, 4-3. Former Sound Nelson Cruz (walk) and Chris Davis (single) also scored on Tracy's team-leading 11th roundtripper of the year. The Sounds rallied in the bottom of the seventh to take back a 6-4 lead against the Oklahoma City bullpen. Trent Oeltjen doubled to open the frame, his fifth consecutive game with an extra-base knock, and scored the tying run on a Gamel single. Later in the inning, Nashville team RBI leader Luis Cruz greeted new RedHawks reliever Warner Madrigal with a two-run single up the middle to put the home team up by two and up his RBI total to 34 on the year. Nashville wrapped up the night's scoring in the eighth with a four-run inning against Madrigal that was highlighted by Almonte's two-out, three-run double to center. Oklahoma City loaded the bases in the top of the ninth with one out, but Luis Cruz made an athletic double play for the Sounds on a line drive to short to double Moreland off second and bring an end to the contest. Stetter (2-1) backed into the victory as the beneficiary of the late Sounds rally after allowing three runs in his lone inning of work. Phillips (1-1) suffered his first loss for Oklahoma City after being charged with three runs on three hits in just one-third of an inning of action. The teams continue the series with a 6:35 p.m. meeting on Saturday night at Greer. Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Doug Davis is scheduled to join the Sounds to make a rehab start in the contest. He has been on the Brewers' disabled list since May 16 due to pericarditis (inflammation of lining around heart). Oklahoma City will counter with right-hander Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 2.35). Nashville BoxscoreI was certainly wrong about the outcome of this pitching match up in yesterday's link report. Tim Dillard pitched a very effective 5 innings allowing only 2H, 1R, 1BB, and 5SO. As noted above Tod Coffey pitched well with a 1, 2, 3 inning included a K. Mitch Stetter's ERA climbed to 4.82 on the season. Brian Bruney and Jeff Bennett also saw action in today's game. I need to get a soap box here, I have a very difficult understanding how people think Mat Gamel's prospect status has diminished. So he stunk at pinch hitting, so he stunk as a DH, that should have never been his role in the first place. I don't know where he'll play defensively, but the young man can hit, that much I know. The Sounds' hitters did a fantastic job getting to Scheppers and knocking him out of the game early. The top 6 hitters in the order all had doubles, and everyone but Olmedo, Stern, and Maldonado had 2 hits. Just a dominating offensive performance all the way around. Nashville Recap Interesting way to end the game. Okla. City Top 9th Nelson Cruz singles on a line drive to right fielder Brendan Katin. Chris Davis strikes out swinging. Mitch Moreland walks. Nelson Cruz to 2nd. Coaching visit to mound. Chad Tracy singles on a line drive to left fielder Adam Stern. Nelson Cruz to 3rd. Mitch Moreland to 2nd. Coaching visit to mound. Pitcher Change: Jeff Bennett replaces Brian Bruney. Hernan Iribarren lines into unassisted double play, shortstop Luis Cruz. Mitch Moreland doubled off 2nd.

Final: Huntsville 9, Montgomery (Rays) 6 Stars Win Second Straight Connor Schreve The Huntsville Stars (31-37) received a stellar pitching performance from its ace and hung on despite a late Montgomery rally for a three run win on Friday night 9-6. Friday night’s win evened the season series between the two teams at 4-4. Jeremy Hall (4-3 2.97) turned in to his own worst enemy in the second inning, allowing Huntsville to get on the score board first. A leadoff walk to Zelous Wheeler was the beginning of his unraveling. One out later, a balk allowed the Stars shortstop to advance in to scoring position. Chuckie Caufield sent a line drive in to the outfield to pick up an RBI. After advancing to second base on the throw, Caufield moved to third on a passed ball charged to Biscuits catcher Craig Albernaz. Hall followed with a miscue of his own, a wild pitch that scored Caufield. Dayton Buller who witnessed both the passed ball and wild pitch from the batters box followed with a walk to first but Hall did force a fly out to end the inning. In the next inning, Huntsville again capitalized on the struggles of Hall. With Brett Lawrie on second and two outs, Wheeler launched his sixth home run of the year, a monster shot to left center field that Montgomery left fielder Leslie Anderson didn’t even bother chasing. Steffan Wilson and Taylor Green both took the worst of Hall’s problems; they were plunked with errant pitches in back to back at bats to set the table for Caufield who tagged his second home run in as many games to make it a seven run lead after three innings. Montgomery (38-28) center fielder Rashad Eldridge led off the fourth with a single and did score but Amaury Rivas held the Biscuits to just that one run in his five complete innings. Rivas bounced back from a loss to Carolina in his last outing and struck out eight over five innings Friday while allowing only four hits and walking two. It is Rivas’ sixth with of the year, which ties Michael Bowman for the team lead, and his first in nearly a month. Huntsville’s ace pitched eight innings at home May 18 to lead the Stars to a one run decision over the Tennessee Smokies. Rivas’ Counterpart Jeremy Hall entered the game with a miniscule 2.31 ERA but couldn’t find the strike zone often enough. He walked four batters and hit two in his 2 2/3 innings. A passed ball, a balk and a dropped foul ball all contributed to Hall’s troubles. Huntsville plated seven runs against Hall, six of them earned, while only connecting for three hits. Hall walked four and struck out one. A hit batter and an error helped add to a four run seventh inning for the Biscuits. Huntsville, leading by seven runs at the end of the third inning, saw that lead shrink to three heading in to the final inning having given up five runs in the seventh and eighth combined. Stars outfielder Chuck Caufield matched the Stars high RBI mark for the season with six. He went 4-4 and scored two runs. Taylor Green set the season record on May 31st in a game against Mobile at Joe Davis Stadium. Caufield is 6-13 over his last three games and has 8 runs batted in over that period. Game four of the current series between the Visiting Biscuits and Stars starts Saturday at 6:00 p.m. (CDT) at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville, AL. Jake McGee (2-40 3.65) will toe the rubber for Montgomery. The Stars will send Josh Butler (0-3 5.68) to the mound. Huntsville Boxscore Amaury Rivas did pitch well, though he struggled with his command a bit only going 5 complete on 95 pitches, of which only 59 were strikes. His final line was 5IP, 4H, 1ER, 2BB, and 8SO. The bullpen didn't fare as well, Jim Henderson, Casey Baron, and Donovan Hand all give up runs, though 3 of the runs were unearned. Casey is have a tough year so far. Chuck Caufield's awesome night was detailed above as were most of the other offensive exploits, but Lorenzo Cain had the only other multi hit game for the Stars, he was 3-5 on the evening. Defensively Brett Lawrie added his 13th error and Hand committed his first. Huntsville Recap The 5 run 3rd broke the game open. Huntsville Bottom 3rd Brett Lawrie walks.

Final: Brevard County 5, Lakeland (Tigers) 1 Brevard County Boxscore Cody Scarpetta made progress today allowing a single earned run. He pitched 5 innings giving up 5 hits, and he walked and struck out 4 batters a piece. The walks are still way too high, but the rest is alright. Corey Frerichs was excellent in relief, allowing no hits, 2 walks, and 3 strike outs over the final 4 innings to pick up his first save. Serigio Miranda and Matt Cline have been as steady this season as hitters get. Neither offers any power, but Cline has as many walks as he does strike outs (23), Miranda doesn't walk much (13), but he doesn't strikeout much either(20). both players had 2 hits today to lead the offensive attack. Angel Salome and Eric Komatsu each doubled, and Brock Kjeldgaard homered again today... probably because he knows I'm doing the link report tonight and can never spell his name right! A clean defensive game, Cline was picked off of 1B though. Brevard County Recap Cline getting picked off cost BC a run in the 1st. Brevard County Top 1st Josh Prince strikes out swinging. Matt Cline walks. With Erik Komatsu batting, Jon Kibler picks off Matt Cline at 1st on throw to Rawley Bishop. Erik Komatsu doubles (15) on a fly ball to center fielder Daniel Fields. Angel Salome doubles (2) on a fly ball to right fielder Kody Kaiser. Erik Komatsu scores. Sergio Miranda flies out to center fielder Daniel Fields. The only run BC gave up in the game... Lakeland Bottom 1st Gustavo Nunez flies out to center fielder Erik Komatsu. Brandon Douglas singles on a ground ball to center fielder Erik Komatsu.

Daniel Fields singles on a fly ball to left fielder Brock Kjeldgaard. Billy Nowlin to 2nd. Rawley Bishop walks. Billy Nowlin to 3rd. Daniel Fields to 2nd. John Murrian strikes out swinging.

Some gifting of hits on defensive miscues hurt him badly. He's looked pretty good his 3 starts, he's really pitching on a nice downward plane keeping the ball low in the zone.

....and people wonder why I get upset about injury diagnosis and treatment.. I just love it when our guys play hurt and make things worse, this isn't football where playing hurt can work out.

Wisconsin vs Kane County is listed as canceled which would mean the game will not be made up.

It wasn't intended to be condescending, I have no control over how you interpret what I type. You said you didn't have your head in sand but you've never heard of the guy... I'm not sure what part of that I got wrong? Alright I'll keep playing. How long a player spends in the minor leagues has generally more to do with who is in front of him and organizational philosophy. Just because most organizations handle young pitchers very poorly also doesn't make less of prospect. What reason did TB have to rush Davis with Kazmir, Garza, Jackson, Niemann, and Shields in front of him, and a super prospect in Price behind him? Sometimes age can determine prospect status, sometimes not. Odorizzi spent 2 years in rookie ball, he'll be in the minors 5 seasons before he sees Milwaukee, is he less of a prospect? Niemann isn't the same caliber of pitcher that Price is, and Davis has the potential to be every bit as good as Niemann. No the fact that his FB has excellent life and sits 93-94, which is a tick harder than Yo, adds to his promise. He has 2 plus pitches now, and has the potential to develop a solid 3 pitcher arsenal. Precisely my point, judge the player's talent, give that talent room to grow, and don't carried away with the early returns either way. If you look back you will find that I always wanted Parra in the rotation in front of Narveson, but I would have taken Narveson over Suppan. I've never been a big Narveson supporter, nor will I be. I actually like Loe's toolbox much better than Narveson's, I just think Narvy is very average. Also, as I previously pointed out David Price has actually pitched worse than Wade Davis through a similar number of appearances to start their career, I just don't care at all what the stats say this early. Statistical models simply do not work when evaluating prospects going through the growing pains adjusting to MLB, I'm more interested in what I see than what they are doing statistically.... sacrilegious around here I know, but I'm interested in developing talent and winning games, and I don't believe those ideas to be mutually exclusive at all, certainly not to the degree that many posters do anyway. He went 7 shutout innings on May 2nd but he hasn't flashed his promise? He also pitched 7 strong innings on Jun 10th. He pitched to 1 batter in the 8th, gave up a single and was pulled for Randy Choate who allowed the runner to come around to score. Wolf has only finished the 7th inning 3 times all season, and 2 of those 3 were Pit and Hou. Bush has only finished the 7th 3 times, Narveson once and Parra, Davis, and Suppan haven't done it once collectively. I stand by my assertion that perception and unreasonable expectations have clouded reality, not only in this discussion, but many prospect discussions on this site.. Davis is holding his own, he'll get better, he's a rookie pitching in the toughest division in baseball, give him time.

Just because you never heard of a guy, doesn't mean he's not very good. How about we get acquainted with a prospect before we throw them under the bus? From BA's scouting report on Wade Davis.

Final: Huntsville 13, Montgomery (Rays) 4 Huntsville Boxscore Well Mark Rogers no hit Montgomery for 5 innings, unfortunately he also walked 5 batters, gave up 1 earned run, while striking out 5. It's a broken record but his BB rate is really the only thing holding Mark back. Lucas Luetge made it back after the rain delay hit halfway through his first inning of work, he pitched 1.2 innings and gave 2 unearned runs on 2 hits, 1 BB, and 3 Ks. Eddie Morlan pitched the final 2.1 innings to notch his 2nd save. He allowed a single hit, no walks, and struck out 4. Offensively Brett Lawrie was a monster going 4-5 with a 2B, his OPS has been floating around .800 for some time now, but was overshadowed by Steffan Wilson who went 3-5 with a 2B and 2 HRs! Lorenzo Cain and Lee Haydel added multi hit games, Dayton Buller and Haydel tripled, and Zelous Wheeler add his own HR to round out the XBHs. Thankfully the offense overshadowed the poor defense, Wilson (3), Wheeler 2 (19), and Green (9) all had errors in the game. Cain better get a bump up to AAA after the break. Huntsville Recap Well if you're curious how Rogers gave up 2 runs without a hit like I was, here's how. Montgomery Top 3rd John Matulia walks. With Drew M. Anderson batting, wild pitch by Mark Rogers, John Matulia to 3rd. Drew M. Anderson reaches on fielding error by first baseman Steffan Wilson. John Matulia scores. Emeel Salem strikes out swinging.

Final: Clinton (Seattle) 3, Wisconsin 2 Revenge of the Ex-Rattlers By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers CLINTON, IA - A pair of former Wisconsin Timber Rattlers did damage to their former team on Thursday night at Alliant Energy Field. Daniel Carroll and Kalian Sams combined to drive in all three runs for the Clinton LumberKings in a 3-2 victory. Sams drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Wisconsin (24-42) took the lead with a run in the first inning. They loaded the bases with one out on a pair of singles and a hit batsman. Hunter Morris, the 4th round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers, stepped to the plate for his first professional at bat. His slow ground out to short got the run home and the Rattlers were up 1-0. Carroll, a Timber Rattler in 2008 when the team was affiliated with the Seattle Mariners, singled with two out in the bottom of the third. The hit by the LumberKings centerfielder drove in two and Clinton (36-30) went in front 2-1. Michael Marseco singled and went to second on an error to start the Wisconsin fifth inning. D'Vontrey Richardson moved him along to third with a grounder to the right side of the infield. Cutter Dykstra slapped a base hit to right through the drawn-in infield to score Marseco with the tying run. The game remained tied until the bottom of the ninth inning. Vinnie Catricala singled to start the frame and was sacrificed to second base. Wisconsin chose to walk Welington Dotel to set up the double play and face Sams, who had struck out 87 times in his previous 181 at bats this season. Sams, a Timber Rattler at the start of the 2007 season, lined a 2-1 pitch down the left field line to score Catricala with the winning run. The Timber Rattlers are now 3-19 in games decided by one run. Thursday night was also the fifth time this season the Rattlers have been 'walked off' by their opponents. The Rattlers continue their road trip with a three-game series in Kane County that starts on Friday night. Kyle Heckathorn (4-4, 2.58) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Kane County will send Dan Straily (5-3, 4.76) to the hill. Game time at Elfstrom Stadium is 7:00pm. Fans may tune in for the play-by-play action on AM 1280, WNAM starting with the Miller Lite Pregame show at 6:40pm. WP: Brian Moran (3-1) LP: Caleb Thielbar (0-2) TIME: 2:26 Wisconsin Boxscore Del Howell's longest outing of his career goes for naught. Del pitched 6.1 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 ER, 2 BB, and 2 Ks. Caleb Thielbar did nice work picking up Howell in the 7th, but just couldn't get WI to the 10th. Hunter Morris was 0-3 in his professional debut. Cutter Dykstra, Kris Davis, and Austin Stockfish had multi hit games, Chris Dennis and Stockfish also added doubles for the Rattlers. Don't worry about Scooter Gennett, Chris insisted it was just another off day and he's not injured. The only thing left to say is that WI has definitely paid their dues in the first half, we're owed a huge second half from this team. Wisconsin Recap Caleb bailed out Del in the 7th, the highlighted play could have been an error, with that play Del might get through the 7th. Clinton Bottom 7th Tim Morris flies out to right fielder Kentrail Davis. Welington Dotel singles on a ground ball to second baseman Peter Fatse. Kalian Sams walks. Welington Dotel to 2nd.

Final, Game 2 (7 innings): Lakeland (Detroit) 1, Brevard County 0 Brevard County Boxscore A tough luck loss for Daniel Meadows who allowed the only run of the game on a HR. He pitched 2 innings, walked no one, and struck out. Mike Ramlow started and was fantastic over his 3 innings of work. He allowed 2 hits, no walks, and struck out 6! Trey Watten managed to pitch around 2 walks in the 6th to put a scoreless frame. Offensively Sean Halton had the only 2 hits, he was 2-3 with a stolen base. Angel Salome (DH) walked and was the only other Manatee baserunner, not a stellar effort by any means. Brevard County Recap Well at least Halton reached 2B twice in the game...

Sounds, Redbirds Rained Out On Thursday NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tonight's scheduled 6:05 p.m. doubleheader between the Nashville Sounds and Memphis Redbirds at Greer Stadium has been postponed after a 1 hour and 58 minute delay due to wet and unsafe playing conditions. Both games will made up in Memphis at a time and date to be determined. Tickets for tonight's game (June 17) may be exchanged for tickets of equal or lesser value, pending availability, to any remaining 2010 Sounds regular-season home game. Please visit the Greer Stadium box office to exchange your tickets. Nashville will continue its homestand and welcome the Oklahoma City RedHawks to Music City for Friday's 7:05 pm CT series opener at historic Greer Stadium. The Sounds will send right-hander Tim Dillard (1-3, 5.17) to the mound against right-hander Tanner Scheppers (1-0, 1.57). I don't like that match up on paper at all..

Kentrail Davis was just hit by a pitch again... ridiculous.

Aren't we over exaggerating Davis' struggles just a bit? He's a rookie, he's going to have his ups and downs. Texas lit him up for 8 ER in 3.1 IP on Jun 4th, and Boston got to him on May 24th, but his been average to good in the rest of his starts. He still hasn't even pitched 20 career games. At the same point in his career David Price had a 5.12 ERA, who on the this forum wouldn't take him on our team? Braun and Fielder must have skewed people's expectations of what happens when rookies come up to the big leagues given what's been said about Escobar, Gamel, and now Davis around here. Typically rookies just aren't going to produce at a consistent level. Davis has gone at last 6 IP six times so far this season. Davis has gone 7 IP twice so far this season. Davis has gone less than 5 IP twice so far this season. These 2 starts account for 13 of his 39 ER on the season. Davis has gone 5 IP 4 times so far this season. That looks like a pretty typical rookie season so far to me.
