Bats down 8-6 in the top of the 7th

[GOYA]

Chapman is scheduled to pitch for the Bats on Monday. His rehab assignment will continue into the Bats next homestand.

[mace]

Hamilton pinch-ran for Berset in the eighth, stole third (34), and scored the tying run on a single by Lohman.

Any reason why Dontrelle was lifted after two?

[GOYA]

He was hit by a batted ball. It appeared to hit him on the foot but not positive about that.

Cozart is nursing a sore foot as well.

[GOYA]

Bakersfield will be hitting against a pitcher with a 9.22 ERA and 2.27 WHIP tonight. One would think they're going to score a ton of runs.

That pitcher is Tyler Matzek.

[cinreds21]

Thanks, GOYA.


And ouch on Matzek. He was the Rockies top prospect.

[mace]

Dominic D'Anna won the game for Dayton with a 2-run HR in the 11th.

[GOYA]

One would think they're going to score a ton of runs.

And of course, through 4 innings, Bakersfield has been shut out on 1 hit. (and 5 walks)

Campbell is out of the lineup again, and since Matzek is a lefty, there's no Hunt.

[GOYA]

Tim Crabbe moved up from Dayton to Bakersfield recently. I don't remember seeing it here before.

Bakersfield trails 4-3 in the 7th.

Does it make sense to anyone to keep Hunt from facing lefties in A+?

[kbrake]

Any word on how Yonder Alonso has looked this weekend with Walt watching?

[GOYA]

There haven't been any balls that he couldn't run down if that's what you mean.

[kbrake]

There haven't been any balls that he couldn't run down if that's what you mean.

Yeah I was just hoping that he was having a good go of it out there with Walt watching this weekend. I know everyone who sees the Bats says Alonso has been much better this year but I'm really hoping he shows Walt enough to force his way to Cincinnati soon.
