Farmers Only: Bailey and Wood were dominant again

What the hell does Travis Wood need to do to get called up to AAA?

    Homer Bailey
    Homer
  • Homer Bailey dominated in his start in Columbus, but Jeff Kennard and the defense blew it and Louisville lost 2-1.  Homer went 8 2/3 innings, and gave up 1 run on 6 hits, striking out 9.  His effort went for naught in the end when with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out in the 10th, Kevin Barker committed an error to score the winning run.  Darnell McDonald had two of the Bats 4 hits.  Up next: Justin Lehr and the Bats take on the Clippers in Columbus at 7:05.
  • Travis Wood
    Wood
  • In another interesting development, Travis Wood was also dominant as Carolina blanked West Tenn 4-0.  Woody pitched 7 shutout innings, and only gave up 1 hit while striking out 9.  His ERA is down to 1.11.  Todd Frazier and Chris Denove had two hits each, as did Featured Farmhand Zachary CozartUp next: Jordan Smith takes the hill against West Tenn at 6:15.
  • Sarasota got dominated by the Lakeland Tigers, 9-1Scott Carroll was less than dominant in his FSL debut, givng up 7 R (4 ER) in 4 innings.  Denis Phipps was 1-for-4 and drove in the S-Reds only run.  Up next: Travis Webb takes on Lakeland at 6.
  • Dayton had some trouble with Fort Wayne early, but ended up taking the game into extra innings, only to lose 5-4 in 10J.C. Sulbaran's strike zone was dominated by the home plate umpire, as he only went 2 innings and walked 6 hitters.  For example, here's how his 2nd inning went: walk, strikeout, double, walk, single (runner thrown out at the plate by David Sappelt), wild pitch, walk, walk, wild pitch, walk, strikeout looking.  Yikes.  He gave up 3 runs, and didn't come out for the 3rd.  I'm not sure if his control problems were caused by injury or an off night, but it's been rare so far this season to have such a terrible outing.  Jake Long hit his 1st HR of the year, and Kevin Coddington, Carlos Mendez, and Miguel Rojas all had two hits to contribute the Dragons offense.  Jordan Hotchkiss gave up the winning run in his 4th inning of work.  Really, Benzinger?  Up next: Dayton takes on Fort Wayne at 7:05.  No starter listed, as usual, but it should be Fairel or Ravin.
  • Roster Moves: In Carolina, a few moves.  James Avery is on the 7-day DL, and Dallas Buck was finally reactivated after a month and a half on the DL.  Jerry Gil is also now with Carolina after putting up a 7.74 ERA in 10 starts in Sarasota.  Great.

Bailey wasn't dominant - he had 2 walks and only struck out 9

At least we know...

That Homer will be used to losing games like that once he comes up to the bigs.

And Adam Dunn's spirit, ranging for revenge / With Ate by his side come hot from hell, / Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice / Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war...

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG ?Jump.

Fairly easy for most slick fielders but hitting and pitching at the MLB level is, no pun intended, a different ballgame.

Sweat plus sacrifice equals another useless out. Mads

Future Farmer Update

So far, Reds 7th round pick Josh Fellhauer is 0-for-2 in CSF’s game against Arkansas (off of Astros 7th round pick Dallas Keuchel). I think he’s going to fit in here well, as in his 2nd AB, he hit a grounder to 1st that the first baseman booted, and got credited for a RBI as the run scored. Then he got picked off of first to end the inning.

Classy Cardinals Reprise!

I hope to construct a music video montage of classy St. Louis Cardinal moments, perhaps setting it to Mariah Carey's "Hero."

Please take a moment to find the classiest incidents in recent Cardinal history, and link to an article covering the event, or video or pictures if you can find them. And if you just have a ridiculous photo of a recent Cardinal, please post a link here to the highest resolution image you can find. 

I think we can all learn from such a classy organization. Let's give it a try.
And you thought I missed that..

Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Given the circumstances you were overly gracious!
