I seem to be running behind Blitz. In the meantime, Rogers' line so far: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.
Donnie Joseph back to the mound for the 10th to try and rack up the save for Pensacola.
Puckett walked with two outs and the bases loaded to give Pensacola a 4-3 lead in the 10th.
Blue Wahoos win 4-3. Nap time.
Joseph with a spotless 2-inning save closes it out for Pensacola.
Blue Wahoos win 4-3 in the 10th. Another great relief outing from Donnie Joseph -- 2 perfect innings with 2 Ks. He's now 4-0 on the season with 5 saves and a 0.50 ERA.
If the box is right, Chad Rogers has thrown only 72 pitches through seven innings.
For some reason, David Vidal has left the game for Bakersfield.
It should be right, or very close to it. A handful of teams below the AA level do use the gameday function to track the games. Inland Empire happens to be one of them. 85 pitches in 8 innings is awesome. He was a groundball machine last night, even for himself (he is over 60% GB's this season). I sent out an email about 10 minutes ago to try and get a scouting report on him as a starter.
Oh, Bakersfield won 4-0.
Chad Rogers making a name for himself. Seems to be something of a groundball machine. Reds making hay with sub 6 foot righthanders these days, probably an undervalued resource.
The best part about Billy's most recent steal streak is that he hasn't been caught in a while. He is now 33 of 40, bumping his success rate up to 82.5%.
Oh, by the way, he is still OPSing .960 and his OBP is second in the league at .431.
A lot to be excited about with this kid...
