Look like Boobs has been away

Maybe he’s visiting his mom.

Bats game is rained out today.

Homer Bailey had a rough outing yesterday.

IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
4.1	11	7	6	2	1	1	3.55

But the Bats won anyway, helped by homers by Paul Janish and Jay Bruce.

Andy Phillips was 2 for 5, with a 2-RBI double. Which means his hitting streak is alive. It’s at 13 now, and the longest active streak in the IL.

Oh, and Majewski has been a total stud lately.

Homer may resemble Christian Bale at rest

but mid-pitch he’s all Paul Dano

Sorry

Rick’s been on hiatus this weekend. If someone wants to throw up a summary of the weekend events in the minors, we’ll gladly post up front for all to see.

Dragons

I saw the doubleheader yesterday, a pair of 7 inning games caused by the rainout on Friday.

Game 1 of the doubleheader was a lot of fun. Logan Parker hit a grand slam in the first inning. Preston Mattingly (yes, Don’s son) hit a solo shot for the Loons. Keltavious Jones was 2-2 with a pair of walks and an RBI, Denis Phipps 2-4 with an RBI also. Luis Montano pitched 5 innings and gave up 5 runs, but the Dragons won 7-6.

Game 2 was basically the ‘B’ squad. The Dragons scored two runs in the first inning on hits by Brandon Menchaca, Denis Phipps, Brandon Waring, and Jake Long. They held on to a 2-1 lead until the top of the 7th, when starter Scott Carroll was pulled with runners on and reliever Joseph Krebs walked in a run, then allowed 3 more to score. 2-5, Loons win and knock the Dragons back into a tie with West Michigan for first place.

Today’s game rained out also.

Oh, and..

Devin Mesoraco was 1-3 in the first game with a pair of shots to the warning track in center that were caught.

Justin Reed caught one deep in right-center and showed off a heck of an arm to nail a runner trying to advance to second. The SS didn’t even have to move his glove, the throw was spot on.
