Would I be correct in assuming Sarasota doesn't have a radio link?

I'll be tracking Cueto tonight, and I'm sure OBM and doug will be as well.

[dougdirt]

Dayton has been postponed officially. There is a pending split double header that must be approved.

Sarasota does not have a radio broadcast, but some teams in the FSL do. Tomorrows Sarasota game will be available to listen to through the Fort Myers radio team, but tonights is not for some reason.

Chattanooga Top of 1

1. Drew Anderson steps to the plate and strikes out on 3 pitches.

2. Paul Janish comes up after going 1-5 last night and grounds at to second base.

3. Enrique Cruz chops one to third and the ball died in the grass and Cruz gets the infield hit.

James Avery on the mound

1. Chopper to first base for the out.

2. Strikeout on 5 pitches.

3. Ground out to first base to end the inning.

[dougdirt]

Chattanooga Top of the 2nd

1. Chris Dickerson is human and grounds out to second base to make his first out in 6 at bats this season.

2. Jay Garthwaite works a full count before taking a walk down to first base.

3. Seems to be a mix up with the line up and Ryan Hanigan is batting where Gutierrez was supposed to be batting according to the announcers, but they are actually flipped. Hanigan chops it to second and they turn a double play to end the inning.

Still tied at 0.

[dougdirt]

[cincy09]

Johnny Cueto FINAL LINE

4.1ip, 3 hits, 2 runs, 4 walks and 3 strikeouts. 6 ground out, 4 fly outs.

Sounds like Johnny had some command issues tonight......

He had the same problem last year when he first arrived in Sarasota.

[Aronchis]

Cueto's fall from grace!!!!! Just kidding. I don't get overly upset about early starts as pitchers sometimes need several starts before they get in mid-season form(take "the savior" Homer Bailey's inconsistant starts in Sarasota april-may 2006). If he is still struggling by June 1st, then I will begin to worry.

Matter of fact, Bailey may have some ugly starts his first few as well.

[dougdirt]

Chattanooga Top of the 3rd
1. ground out to first by Gutierrez

2. Avery up to bat and grounds out.

3. Drew Anderson flies out to center to end the inning.

[dougdirt]

Chattanooga bottom of the 3rd.

Crap, I lost the PBP.

[dougdirt]

Strange play in the Sarasota game

# Adam Rosales walks. Michael DeJesus scores. Michael Griffin out at 3rd, catcher Jeff Christy to third baseman Matthew Betsill.

Now I would think stolen base, but the bases were loaded. DeJesus was on 3rd, Griffin at second and Dorn at first.....

[dougdirt]

Sarasota update

Former Red and Dayton Dragon Zach Ward pitched the 10th for Fort Myers, allowing just a walk and getting 3 ground ball outs. Sarasota now needs to hold Fort Myers scoreless.

[OnBaseMachine]

Logan Ondrusek is one to watch. He had a good 2006 season: 57 K's in 57.2 innings while allowing only two homers and posting a 3.59 ERA. Listed at 6'8" and 195 pounds, he has plenty of room to add muscle and maybe some more oomph on his fastball.

[dougdirt]

Chattanooga bottom of the 6th

Pitching change: Carlos Bohorquez now in for the Lookouts.

Reds just won 6-1. Had to throw that in there.

3. Tonys Gutierrez works a full count before he takes ball 4 and walks to first.

4. Pinch hitter Caonabo Cosme steps into the box. Gutierrez steals second base. Pop up to the centerfielder to end the inning.

[Topcat]

Thats my boy Lutz!:D

[floridaredsfan]

When did Till go on DL and how long is he out for. Also can we get the announcer to say his name right.

[dougdirt]

When did Till go on DL and how long is he out for. Also can we get the announcer to say his name right.

I believe Till went on the DL on the 5th, but I am not sure why. Announcers are all over the place with names sometimes.... you would think that the teams have some type of media guide that these guys could check out....
