    Tuesday, April 22th...Minor League Updates:

    After six straight games against Indianapolis, Louisville is happy to see a different uniform in the opposing dugout. Louisville begins play in second place in the I.L. West Division. They stand a game above .500 at 9-8.

    Before the game Thomas Neal was activated and new-kid-in-town whipping boy, David Holmberg was placed on the 7-day D.L. retroactive to April 19th, making him eligible to come off of it on my mother's 86th birthday. Hi, mom!

    It is Bark-in-the-Park night. So, it is only fitting that Chien-ming Wang is on the mound for the Bats. As mentioned in a previous thread, wang is the Chinese onomatopoeia for a barking dog.
    There are forces in the universe that we cannot comprehend.

    Wang is either pitching better or dodging some bullets. He has only four hits and three walks in four innings of work. Still, he has given up just one run.

    Bourgeois has scored the lone Louisville tally, reaching on a force and coming around on a two-bagger off the bat of Ruben Gotay.

    Perhaps it was the latter for Wang. In the top of the fifth the first three batters have reached base safely, an error and two singles. Syracuse has grabbed a 2-1 and threaten to tack on more. Another base hit has the loaded them up with no outs.

    Re: Tuesday, April 22th...Minor League Updates:

    Dayton is playing a pair of seven-inning games to make up for last's night postponement.

    The Dragons sport an 11-4 record entering the double dip.

    Things are not going so well for Dayton in the latter innings of game one. They trail 3-1 going into the bottom of the sixth and penultimate inning (unless there is free baseball).

    Sal Romano got the nod in game one and was mediocre at best. His line: 4.0IP 5H 3R 3ER 4BB 2K. Ryan Kemp pitched a scoreless fifth, striking out two. He is on the mound to begin the sixth.

    Dayton has gotten two hits through six, both off the bat of Beau Amaral (.317). He singled to lead off tonight's contest, advanced on a fielder's choice and a sacrifice bunt and scored on a ground ball off the bat of Philip Ervin.

    Dragon's trail 3-1.

    Wang has surrender two more and has been relieved by Nick Schmidt. Bats trail 4-1 with Syracuse still batting in the top of the fifth. Louisville has committed three errors in this inning so far.

    For those who like to keep tabs on ex-Reds and ex-Reds' farmhands, Emmanuel Burriss is playing for Syracuse these days. He is hitting .261.

    Nick Schmidt stopped the bleeding. And it is 4-1 Bats trailing going into the bottom of the fifth.

    Pensacola, the only Reds' farm team with a losing record at 8-10, is at Jacksonville.

    Pensacola garnered single runs in both the first and second innings. Jacksonville answered with a run in the second and at least two so far in the home half of the third.

    Yorman Rodriguez is 1-2 on the night. He scored a run and is now batting .323.
    Donald Lutz is also 1-2. He now hitting a Cobb-ish .367.
    Bryan Anderson and Rey Navarro have the RBI.

    Jon Moscot was the Blue Fish starter and he is wobbling. 2.2IP 3H 3R 2ER 4BB 0K.

    Ryan Kemp allowed two runs to cross the plate in the bottom of the sixth to, effectively, put the game out of reach.
    The Dragons doubled their meager hit total in the top of the seventh and pushed across a run. Daniel Mateo doubled and Jamodrick McGruder singled him home. It was too little and too late.

    Dragons slain 5-2

    Thomas Neal celebrates his return to the Louisville lineup with a single in the fifth. Nothing came of it. Curtis Partch loaded the bases with one away in the top of the sixth before striking out back-to-back Syracuse batsmen. Still 4-1 bad guys.

    Blake Lively will chunk the ball for Bakersfield tonight. I would post his stats but I have no intention of boggling any more minds than I absolutely must today.

    Re: Tuesday, April 22th...Minor League Updates:

    Rey Navarro leads off the top of the fifth with a single. Two outs later, a Travis Mattair double brings him home. Bryan Anderson singles to untie the game. Wahoos lead 4-3. Selsky reaches on an error and Juan Duran walks to loads the bases.

    Jacksonville comes right back with the equalizer in the bottom of the sixth on three singles with a passed ball mixed in.

    4-4.

    Louisville gets a pair of singles in the 8th but cannot trim the deficit. Gotay (.338) now has singled and doubled.

    Curtis Partch hurled two scoreless frames. 2IP 2H 0R 0ER 1BB 3K.
    Lee Hyde faced seven batters, allowing only a walk. In his last 8 innings of relief, Hyde has given up two hits and walked one, while striking out six.
    The Louisville bully worked 4 and two-thirds innings of shutout baseball.

    Three runs needed to tie, four to walk-off.

    Travis Mattair goes yard to put the Blue Fish back on top 5-4. It was his first blast of 2014. Mikey O'Brien has come out to work the seventh.

    Jon Moscot's line: 6IP 6H 4R 3ER 4BB 3K.

    Joel Bender will pitch for the Dragons in the nightcap. He is getting roughed up early, two runs on five hits through two innings.

    Dayton's has only a walk to Elizalde to show for their first two trips to the plate.

    Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
