Tuesday 7/28/09 Minor League Updates

[mace]

Joseph Krebs has been promoted to Carolina, and he's pitching in extra innings. Good. He deserved it. That guy pitched really well for Sarasota.

[mace]

Sarasota rallied with two in the 7th and one in the 9th to win 3-2. Steven Otterness with three shutout innings for the victory. Shane Carlson's 2-for-3 puts him at .348.

[GOYA]

3 unearned runs in the top of the 11th put Toledo ahead.

Bats have scored one so far in the home half.

[mace]

But Dayton loses on two in the 9th, 4-3. Kevin Coddington, a catcher batting second, is now at .311 after going 3 for 3. He's been impressive all year.

[mace]

Billings getting smoked, but D.D. Gregorius, 3-for-3, now at .371. That's a 19-year-old SS. I don't suppose anyone knows how his defense is?

[GOYA]

Dorn with a 2-out RBI pinch hit single

Bats need 1 to tie with men on 1st and 3rd.

Stubbs coming up.

[GOYA]

BATS WIN!!!!

Stubbs knocks a double down the line and Sweet sends Dorn from first base.

4 runs in the bottom of the 11th to win by 1.

!!!!!!!

What a call by the Bats announcer (not Kelch). Gave me goosebumps. Play seemed like it took forever

If Stubbs can put together a solid week, it's time to move him up, given what we're putting on the field right now in Cinti.

Or move him out (via trade). That would be my choice.

Quite a night on the farms. Carolina wins with two outs in the bottom of the 13th on a 2-run double by Francisco, 5-4. Chattanooga scored one in the top of 13 and Carolina had nobody on with two outs. But Chapman and Kahaulelio walked in front of Francisco, who delivered off a tough 24-year-old lefty.

[mace]

So Louisville and Carolina both won after falling behind in extra innings, both with a guy scoring from first base on a two-out double by a strong left-handed hitter. And Sarasota won with a run in the bottom of the ninth. And Dayton lost by giving up two in the top of the 9th.

Edit: Was wrong on the above, concerning the strong left-handed hitters. I was thinking Dorn drove in the two to win for Louisville, but he scored the run on Stubbs' double. At any rate, it's nice to see the big-time prospects (Stubbs and Francisco) coming through in those situations.

If they were to bring stubbs up and play him anywhere other than center its a waste, and we know how the Reds feel about their CF options so ... there is that.
