Print- Louisville lost 3-1 to Gwinnett. Dontrelle Willis started and went 6 1/3 innings, giving up 1 run and striking out 6 in the process. Another solid start, and Brad Boxberger made his AAA debut, getting the final 2 outs in the 7th. Jeremy Horst came in and surrendered 2 runs in the 9th, which wouldn't have been a big deal if the offense could get anything together. Juan Francisco and (surprise, surprise) Zack Cozart had 2 hits each. Up next: Chad Reineke takes on Braves super prospect Julio Teheran tonight at 7:05. Not a bad day to watch on an off day if you ask me.
- Carolina lost to Tennessee 3-1. Neftali Soto went 2-for-4 and didn't hit any homers, because I clearly jinxed him. James Avery pitched 6 1/3 innings and gave up 3 runs, 2 of which were earned. Up next: Tim Gustafson takes the hill against Tennessee at 7:15.
- Bakersfield lost 4-3 to Stockton. Curtis Partch went 7 innings in his start, giving up 4 runs and striking out 5. Mark Fleury led the offense, going 3-for-4, and Ryan LaMarre drove in 2 runs. Up next: J.C. Sulbaran goes against Stockton at 10:05.
- Dayton beat the tar out of Lansing 7-1 behind a dominant pitching performance by Daniel Renken. Renken pitched 6 shutout innings, only allowing 2 hits and 1 walk. The big story here is that he struck out 14 hitters, including a stretch where he put down 10 in a row, a team record. He's currently leading the Midwest League in strikeouts (interestingly, holding a 11 K lead over teammate Josh Smith). A 25th round pick from last year, he's holding up an absurd 11.3 K/9 ratio, and should absolutely be in Bakersfield. On offense, Juan Duran and Yorman Rodriguez had 3 hits each, and Zinzinnati's favorite German baseball player Donald Lutz hit his 11th homer of the year. Up next: Kyle Lotzkar takes on Bowling Green at 7.
- Billings lost 4-2 to Helena. Ismael Guillon had control problems again, walking 6 for the second start in a row, but only gave up 2 runs in the 4 innings he pitched. El'Hajj Muhammad stepped up and pitched 3 shutout innings of relief. Kyle Waldrop and Kurtis Muller had 2 hits each, and Devin Lohman homered. Up next: Wes Mugarian takes on Helena at 9:05.
- The AZL Reds beat the AZL Royals 14-6. Brandon Dailey went 3-for-4 with 2 walks and 4 RBI, as the team collected 14 hits in all. Daniel Tuttle started and gave up 4 runs (3 earned) in 5 innings, with 8 strikeouts. Up next: AZL Mariners at 10.

that performance by renken...
…already makes him better than most 25th round draft picks. Def move him to bakersfield asap. He is almost 22 I believe and they need to scoot him along to see if he might be a prospect.
When not lurking here, the sportsfrog is where I am.
El'Hajj Muhammad is a sweet baseball player name!
I don’t believe there are any Arabic ballplayers in the bigs today.
I just friended him on Facebook.

Not according to the internets, no
Bart: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"
Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet, but man... (laughs, then pauses) So, to answer you question, I don't know."
good question... i'm not being prejudice i'm just assuming because that's what we do in america.

I would assume he's Muslim, for sure.
His ethnic origin may be interesting if he is Arabic because for the most part, those players have only the military bases overseas to connect with baseball. I guess we can “google” his biography.
Strikeouts don't hurt the team.
well he was born in NJ

he really got injured at the wrong time

Something I have wanted to see for a very long time
is Dontrelle Willis start a game for the Cincinnati Reds. It was once something that seemed so improbable, I couldn’t even linger on the possibility. It was an idle fantasy. Now any day it could happen.
I am so ready.
He fixes the cable?

That would be awesome... and yeah I can see it happening too.
I also like the idea of two hard-throwing lefties in the bullpen. If he can make his Reds debut in the 7th inning, I’ll be just as happy.

The future of the 2nd half of the 2011 Season is (drum rolllllllllllllllll):
Zack Cozart, Ladies and Gents!
Dontrelle may figure into it too.
If Rolen becomes to worn to play much then Cairo too…
how Dusty and Walt can go on with EdRent is beyond me, bring up Cozart now and let him platoon with PJ.

Wow, the Shah is already in Gwinnett?
The last thing the Braves need is another young, muderous, pitcher. Egads they’re gonna be good for a while.

Minor League transactions, per BA.
Cincinnati Reds
Signed: OF Spencer Dickinson (NDFA—South Alabama)
Draft picks signed: RHP Nick Fleece (13), RHP Leo Kemp (14), 3B Joe Terry (30)
Released: RHP Lance Janke
Traded: RHP Steven Jackson to Pirates for future considerations
Removed from 40-man: RHP Chad Reineke (outrighted to Triple-A)
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Carlos Fisher, LHP Jeremy Horst, LHP Travis Wood
Option transferred: C Yasmani Grandal (High-A to Double-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Justin Lehr, OF Quintin Berry, OF Cody Puckett
Reinstated from DL: LHP Luca Panerati, 1B Chris Richburg, SS Miguel Rojas
Well, the Steven Jackson experience didn’t last long. I’m surprised to see him back with Pittsburgh. The Pirates appeared to have pretty much soured on him.
Dickinson is a bit of an interesting sign. He plays CF, 2B and 3B well. The transactions say he signed out of South Alabama, but actually is a USA recruit out of St. Petersburg College. Dickinson originally signed with Florida State out of The Benjamin School in Tequesta, Fla., where he was a Rawlings third-team All-American. Perfect Game rated him one of the top 125 position prospects in the country.
Last season at St. Pete, Dickson went 1-37-.366/.460 with 15 doubles, 5 triples and a .958 fielding percentage. He’s with the AZL Reds.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The International League All-Star team was announced this afternoon for the game that will culminate on Wednesday, July 13, in Salt Lake City. The Louisville Bats will be represented in the game by four members of its current roster. OF Jeremy Hermida, OF Yonder Alonso, SS Zack Cozart and C Devin Mesoraco will represent the Louisville franchise in this year’s game.
This is the first time since 1994 that Louisville has had four players selected for the All-Star Game. In that 1994 season, LHP Steve Dixon, RHP Gary Buckles, INF Allen Battle and INF Scott Collbaugh were chosen to represent the Louisville Redbirds. It has happened one other time in franchise history in 1993 when the Redbirds also sent four players to the game.

I'm surprised Willis didn't make the team
don’t they prefer to take veterans over newbies, generally?

They take the best, whether they’re newbies or veterans.
Willis might not have had enough playing time, with his time on the DL.

he probably lost out
because he doesn’t really have a position. They only pick infielders and outfielders for the IL All-Star Game, but he would split even that vote.

Obviously with 16 teams needing representatives, somebody doesn't make the cut.
Strikeouts don't hurt the team.
