Farmers Only: Volquezmania and Chapmania on the same night!

by BK on Jun 30, 2010 8:00 AM EDT in Farmers only

Louisville lost to Durham 7-5. Edinson Volquez pitched well in his rehab start, giving up 2 runs in 6 innings with 7 strikeouts, and left with a lead, but new bullpen project Aroldis Chapman had some trouble, giving up 4 R (3 ER) in only 1 2/3 innings of work. He was scheduled to pitch 2 innings, but he didn't make it. Zack Cozart led the offense, going 3-for-4 with a home run. Up next: Durham at 7:05, no starter determined.
Carolina scored in the late innings to beat Jacksonville 4-3. Scott Carroll was good in his start, giving up 1 run in 5 innings with 6 strikeouts. Mike Costanzo was 3-for-4. Up next: Tom Cochran takes the hill against Jacksonville at 7:15.
Lynchburg beat Myrtle Beack 6-1, behind a stellar start by Jordan Hotchkiss. Hotch gave up 1 unearned run in 6 innings with 7 strikeouts, on only 2 hits. Chase Ware and Sean Watson were perfect from the bullpen to preserve the lead. Efrain Contreras was 2-for-4 with a homer and 4 RBI. Up next: James Avery takes on Wilmington at 7:05.
Dayton lost a close one 2-1 despite a good start by Ricky Bowen. Bowen gave up 2 R (1 ER) in 5 1/3 innings, and Blair Carson closed the game out with zeroes. Mark Fleury drove in the Dragons' only run. Up next: Tim Crabbe takes on Fort Wayne at 7:00.
Billings lost to Helena 5-3 on a night where they had trouble getting offense going. Devin Lohman had two hits and Trey Manz homered, but not much else went on. Clayton Shunick gave up 3 runs (2 ER) in 4 innings, and Josh Smith contributed 2 perfect innings from the bullpen. Up next: Tanner Robles gets the ball at 9:05.
The AZL Reds lost 6-4 to the AZL Royals. Jonathan Correa gave up 1 ER in 4 innings, and El'Hajj Muhammad came in and pitched 2 scoreless innings of relief. Danny Hernandez drove in 3 of the 4 runs, going 2-for-5. Up next: A-Reds are off today.

Does it seem most likely that Chapman would take DRH's spot

sometime after the All Star Break?

Hasn't Bray already taken DRH's spot?

until tonight

I’m pretty sure it will be DRH who gets sent down when Wood comes up tomorrow.

i concur

i can’t fathom anyone else, three lefties in the pen isnt going to work for long.

although there is this shortstop on the roster who doesn’t justify a roster slot based on playing time granted to him…

Who gets sent down when GMJ gets called up?

That was sarcasm by the way

Dickerson doesn’t belong on the 25 man, and GMJ can go to hell.

Rhodes could come down with a serious injury

That makes perfect sense

I’m thinking there may not be a place for Chapman if Bray sticks. Smith, Owings or Ondrusek would likely be replaced with righties – and for now, at least Smith and Ondrusek are earning their keep.

Also

it seems the plan now is to send Volquez to the rotation in the LeCure/Bailey/Wood spot.

I agree on Smith

Big Lurch might be an option, though. Seems like this bullpen is a series of unconnected dots. But I do think Rhodes showed some kinks in his armor last night. Hopefully that was an anomaly.
