Not Festive

Louisville's offense just didn't get anything going, as they lost both games of their doubleheader, 6-2 in Game 1 and 2-0 in Game 2. In Game 1, Sam LeCure struggled, giving up 6 runs in 5, and the Bats only runs were scored on a 2-run shot by Jonny Gomes, who was 3-for-3. Danny Richar was also 2-for-3 with a triple. Game 2 saw a solid start by Homer Bailey go for naught, as he recieved 4 hits and no runs in support from the offense. Bailey went 6 innings (for the complete game), and gave up 2 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 2. Up next: Daryl Thompson takes on Norfolk in a day game, starting at 12:05.
Carolina split their doubleheader with Jacksonville last night. In Game 1, the Mudcats won 4-3. Travis Wood pitched well for the Mudcats, giving up 2 runs in 5 1/3, striking out 7. Todd Frazier went 2-for-4. In Game 2, the Mudcats lost 4-1 in 10 innings (3 extra from the 7-inning doubleheader game). Justin Mallett started for Carolina, pitching 5 innings of shutout ball while striking out 6. Sean Henry led the way for the offense, going 2-for-3 with a solo HR, but the story of the day was Chris Heisey's going 0-for-5, in the first game of the season where he wasn't able to get on base. It's alright, he's still batting .346. Up next: Jordan Smith comes off the DL to take on Jacksonville at 7:15.
Jerry Gil got lit up again, as Sarasota lost to Palm Beach 6-1. Gil gave up 6 ER in 4 2/3 innings to drop to 0-6 on the season, the worst in the Reds organization. The S-Reds only mustered up 4 hits on the night, with a double by Devin Mesoraco, and singles by Yonder Alonso, Alex Buchholz, and Denis Phipps. In another piece of news from Sarasota, the S-Reds have released OF Daniel Perales, reports Baseball Prospectus. While he had a few good games lately, he was batting .206 on the season, and leaves Kainer/Reed/Phipps as the starting OF and newly called up from Dayton Tony Brown as the 4th OF for the time being. Congrats, Tony! Up next: Travis Webb takes on Palm Beach at 7.

Chapman

Dayton played add-on in the late innings to rout the Lansing Lugnuts, 11-2. Stephen Chapman went 3-for-4 with 2 HR and 4 RBI to lead the way. David Sappelt and Jose Gualdron both had two doubles, and Humberto Sosa was 2-for-4 with his first HR of the season. Featured Farmhand Matt Fairel had another solid start, as he went 6 innings and gave up 2 runs, only striking out 4 this time but earning the win for his team. Up next: Josh Ravin takes on Lansing in the earliest game we've seen all season, a 10:35 AM start.

Chris Heisey sucks.

Demote him!

Oh, and this reminds me: Gomes is basically going to camp out in AAA all year while McDonald sits in the majors, right? I mean, is there any chance of this changing?

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

Only is one of the following happens:

1. Gomes gets really hot and sustains it when some one on the 25 goes on the DL
2. Delbert McDuck is kidnapped by the Nationals
3. Dusty realizes that Deron is NOT Corey Patterson
4 Dusty’s daughter catches a STD
5. The Reds get a new manager
