Sunday, 6/26/11 Minor League Updates

[cinreds21]

Hello everyone! It's gonna be an amazing afternoon at Five County Stadium. Righty Kyle McCulloch (2-3, 5.31 ERA) will take the mound for the 2-1 Mudcats against Huntsville's Wily Peralta (5-6, 4.33 ERA.) As I noted yesterday, second baseman Cody Puckett was sporting a hard cast last night. He has been placed on the 7-day disabled list. No corresponding move has been announced as of yet, but I would guess that Jake Kahaulelio would be recalled from Bakersfield. In other transactional news, right-handed pitcher Carlos Fisher has been optioned to Triple-A Louisville to make room for Homer Bailey, who came off the disabled list on Sunday.

[muddie]

Carolina up 3-0 after one. Phipps picked up another hit.

[muddie]

[camisadelgolf]

Carolina up 3-0 after one. Phipps picked up another hit.
I'm amazed at how solid his numbers are despite having zero home runs. If you had told me that he'd be having a better year than David Cook, I would've told you you're crazy.

[muddie]

Huntsville picks up three in the top of the 6th and now lead 5-4. Kyle McCulloch is the pitcher of record.

[muddie]

DJ warms in the pen.

[muddie]

Phipps 3-4 today.

[muddie]

Costanzo drives in a run to put Carolina up 6-5. Costanzo is also 3-4 today.

[muddie]

With two out in the inning, DJ issues a walk.

[muddie]

Middle of seventh, 6-5 Carolina. DJ threw 19 pitches, 10 balls and 9 strikes in the inning.

[muddie]

Eric Campbell K's and is 0 for 3 today.

[muddie]

End of seven, Carolina up 6-5. Travis Webb in for the 8th.

[muddie]

Travis Webb stranded two runners in the top of the eighth. Carolina holds on to a 6-5 lead.

[muddie]

Phipps HBP to lead off bottom of inning. Phipps thrown out trying to steal second.

[muddie]

Tim Hamulack will pitch the ninth. Three outs away.

[muddie]

Hamulack gets out of it with a DP. Headed to the bottom of the ninth all tied at 6-6. Blown save, Hamulack.

[muddie]

Soto, Perez, and Campbell due up.

[muddie]

Soto strikes out.

[Eric the Red]

Hamulack gets out of it with a DP. Headed to the bottom of the ninth all tied at 6-6. Blown save, Hamulack.

Any particular reason why Boxberger wasn't used?

[muddie]

Bell decided to give Boxberger the day off. Probably decided that before the game started.

Perez walks. Justin Freeman warms in the pen.

[cinreds21]

Any particular reason why Boxberger wasn't used?

He threw two innings last night.

[muddie]

He threw two innings last night.

Dominating innings I might add.

[cinreds21]

Organizations have rules on how often/much their pitchers, especially big prospects, can throw.

[muddie]

Campbell is 0-4 today after flying out to center. Two down in the ninth.

[muddie]

Castro grounds out to first. Going to the 10th.

[Eric the Red]

Organizations have rules on how often/much their pitchers, especially big prospects, can throw.

Makes sense, using Box today was probably out of Bell's hands. Given the season that he's had, Box has to be considered the top pitching prospect in the organization currently.

[muddie]

Leadoff single by Huntsville.

[muddie]

2nd and 3rd...nobody out.

This might be a better team than the Reds fielded today in Baltimore. Juan Francisco in RF? Hmmm

[cinreds21]

Trying to get his trade value up. Just my guess. He has the arm for it.

[muddie]

Huntsville scores two to lead 8-6.

[muddie]

9-6 Huntsville with one out.

[muddie]

Two out, 10-6 Huntsville.

[muddie]

Bottom of tenth...four runs down.

[partisan]

Trying to get his trade value up. Just my guess. He has the arm for it.

Have they given up on the idea of him replacing Rolen at 3B?

[muddie]

Ballgame, 10-6.

[cinreds21]

Have they given up on the idea of him replacing Rolen at 3B?

I'm not sure. He really needs to be in the American League as a designated hitter.

I'm not sure. He really needs to be in the American League as a designated hitter.

It seems we have a few of those

[mace]

Dayton overcame a 4-0 deficit to win 5-4, in spite of striking out 14 times. The game-winner was a 2-run double in the seventh by Torreyes (2-4), driving in Sierra (3-4) and Hamilton (1-3, BB). Exemplary work by Doyle, Howell, Rogers and Hayes in relief of Josh Smith.

[texasdave]

Wood has not allowed a baserunner and has struck out 3 through 2.

[partisan]

Wood has not allowed a baserunner and has struck out 3 through 2.

That's what frustrates me about Wood, he pitches these random gems. He's like the Gomes of the pitching staff that has one good start that justifies 5 mediocre ones.

[GOYA]

Through 5, Mudhens 3, Bats 0.

Only 1 hit for the good guys.

Murderers row indeed.

[GOYA]

Bats get 2 in the 6th but allow a run in the bottom of the inning.

4-2 Hens

[GOYA]

Bats lose 4-2

He's still needs another year or two in the majors to season. In 2 to 3 years he will be a much better pitcher. Remember he has only 1 year experience in the bigs.

Stalin Gerson had another outstanding start and Billings rolled, 7-1. Drew Poulk homered and Dayne Read had three hits.

[Edd Roush]

Billy Hamilton has now hit in his last 6 games and has a .326 BA in his last 10 games and a .298 BA for June. Unfortunately, he still is not taking walks. Billy's OBP for June is still only .318 and still .301 for the year. Billy is showing the ability to get singles in June. Let's hope he can continue this hitting into the second half of the season.

Neftali Soto is now slugging .497 for the year. He is slugging .632 over his last 10 games and is quickly turning himself into an interesting prospect. It blows my mind that he is only 22 years old. I just assumed he was older seeing that he has been talked about on this board since 2007.

He joined something like 11 other Mudcats in the record books this weekend by hitting a HR in three consecutive games. I would love to have seen him get one yesterday but it didn't happen for him.

Looking at it this way he would only be a college junior. If he keeps this up then next year he will be in AA ball which is an extremely high starting position for a pitcher drafted out of college, so in reality he's a couple of years ahead of schedule.

This is one of the great phenomenon in drafting High School players. Soto, Lotzkar, and of course Mesoraco are other examples of guys who are playing at higher levels given their age than they would be had they of been drafted after college, despite struggling earlier in their professional careers.

I'll try to do it more often. It's a nice break from homework. I might even throw in some satire.
