Farmers Only: Heisey and Day provide the firepower in extras
We're a little late today, but here's what happened in last night's games:
- Louisville beat Lehigh Valley 7-4 on a really strong outing by Sam Lecure. LeCure gave up 2 runs on 3 hits in 8 solid innings, and struck out 5 IronPig hitters. You can hear more from LeCure and manager Rick Sweet in this article that some boob wrote. It really seems like LeCure could be back on track to start putting together some good starts in AAA. Drew Sutton and Wes Bankston both homered for the Bats, and Norris Hopper went 3-for-5 with his 11th SB of the year. Up next: The Bats are off today.
- Carolina won 3-2 in 12 innings against Jacksonville. Chris Heisey was the hero, hitting a solo HR in the 12th to break the tie, his 11th of the season, and El Nino Destructor was 4-for-6 to lead the offense. SL Hitter of the Week Zach Cozart was 2-for-3 with 2 walks. Tom Cochran got the start, and gave up one run in 4 innings of work, and Sean Watson, Phillipe-Alexandre Valiquette, and Ruben Medina combined to give up one hit in 4 innings of relief before Ramon Geronimo gave up a run in the 9th to blow the save. Logan Ondrusek gave up a hit and no runs in his 2 innings of relief, the 11th and the 12th, to earn his 2nd win in Carolina. After posting a 0.96 ERA in Sarasota in 18.2 innings, Ondrusek still hasn't given up a run in Carolina in 14.1 innings of relief. He may be the best performing pitcher in the organization so far this season. Up next: The Mudcats are off today.
- Sarasota lost a pitcher's duel 2-1, in a tough luck loss by Rafael Gonzalez. Gonzalez gave up 2 runs in 6 innings, but didn't get much run support, as Devin Mesoraco's 4th HR was the S-Reds only run. Up next: Luis Montano takes on Tampa at 7.
- Dayton split a doubleheader with Great Lakes. Game 1 went scoreless into extras (since minor league doubleheaders are only 7 inning games), but lost 1-0 in 8 innings. Oscar Castro got the start, and gave up 3 hits and no runs in 6 innings, and the Dragons offense was only able to muster up 3 hits total. In Game 2, the Dragons bounced back to win another game that went into extras, 3-2 in 8 once again. Josh Ravin gave up 2 runs in 6 innings, and Junior Martinez pitched a scoreless inning in relief for his 2nd win of the year. Carlos Mendez went 2-for-3 with a RBI, and Kyle Day's 2nd HR of the season put the Dragons ahead in the 8th. Up next: No starter listed as the Dragons take on Fort Wayne at 7:05. Usually, it should be Curtis Partch's turn, but Matt Fairel hasn't pitched in a week, so he could get the start too.
- Roster Moves: Alexander Smit is on the 7-day DL in Carolina, as catcher Korey Feiner was activated.

That shit was impossible. It was infuriating unless you had 'God(?)' mode on
Also — no way in hell he defeats Hitler with just a god damned knife. He should try and push open one of those walls or that Hitler painting and see if there’s a gun back there.

Heisey just continues to put up a gaudy line
.370/.446/.621 in 219 ABs, with 11 SB/1 CS. Frazier isn’t looking too bad at .332/.377/.505, but we don’t have any use for any outfielders or anything…
I just noticed that Cozart and Francisco have a TON of errors: 15 in 57 games for Cozart, and 18 in 59 for Francisco. Has anybody heard anything more about their fielding?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.

Cozart's supposed to be whiz at SS, but it definitely hasn't shown with his error total.
Francisco has a reputation of not being so good there, and has even been compared to a younger, more raw version of Edwin. The hope has been that he’ll be able to adjust there better with some seasoning, but he hasn’t been good so far.

one thing to keep mind in regard to errors
is the first baseman may not be MLB quality either. So it might not just be the thrower with the problems.

Agreed
If the Reds aren’t kicking some serious ass by August, Stubbs should be up and the Reds should promote Heisey to AAA. Hell, promote Heisey now and let him duke it out with Drewsy.

i'd be just fine with Heisey coming up now
and playing RF. i would shed no tears if McDizzle and Hopper were marginalized.

That makes utterly too much sense

Yep, no way it happens.
