Sunday July 29 Minor League Updates

It's becoming almost a Theo Bowe kind of thing. Bowe couldn't buy a base hit in Dayton, then goes to Bakersfield and tears up High-A. Gregorius showed no power in Pensacola, but comes out blasting in Triple-A. Go figure.

Well, the difference is, you can't really luck into hitting home runs. You can luck into some base hits.

Billings leads 5-3 after eight. Brandon Dailey and Matt Lentz each has two hits.

Drew Cisco with his second straight excellent start: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K.

Also, Seth Mejias-Brean now has a 15 game hitting streak for Billings.

Alejandro Chacin throws 2.1 late innings and Sean Lucas gets the final out as Billings wins 5-3.

I rarely mention the other team's losing pitcher, but then, not many of them are named Damien Magnifico.

Cody Puckett's 2-run HR gives Louisville a 3-0 lead in the ninth.

Chad Reineke's excellent line: 7.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K.

Hoover lost the shutout--in spite of giving up no hits and only one walk in 1.2 IP--but saved the game. Final 3-1 Bats.

What would you call Ryan Freel homering off of Greg Maddux?

A bad pitch by Maddux.

Well, the difference is, you can't really luck into hitting home runs. You can luck into some base hits.

Also, you can luck into good stats in Bakersfield with a decent wind and terrible field. The International League is very much a pitcher's league... power stats there are generally for real.
