Farmers Only: Reshuffling the deck edition
Here we are, the last weekend of the (regular) minor league season. WIth the news that Juan Francisco, Jeremy Horst, Chris Valaika, Devin Mesoraco, Jared Burton, Carlos Fisher, and Matt Maloney were on their way to the big leagues, the gaps had to get filled in all the way down. So from now until the end of the year, Louisville will welcome Yasmani Grandal, Neftali Soto, Travis Webb, Quintin Berry, and (!) Fred Lewis. Ryan LaMarre, Brodie Greene, Mark Fleury, and Andrew Bowman move up to Carolina to take their spots. Brandon Dailey and Brennan May move from the AZL to Dayton, and Steven Selsky goes from the AZL to Billings. Everyone caught up? Good. On to the games.
- Louisville was off. They'll take on Indy at 7:15 with Edinson Volquez making what's likely to be his last start before coming back up.
- Carolina lost 9-3 to Mississippi. Didi Gregorius and Cody Puckett had 2 hits each, and Eric Campbell drove in 2 runs. Josh Ravin was decent, going 5 innings and giving up 3 runs (2 ER). Up next: James Avery at 7:15.
- Bakersfield lost 5-2 to San Jose. Devin Lohman was 2-for-4 with a homer, and Mark Serrano gave up 5 runs in 7 innings of work. Up next: The Blaze take on High Desert at 10:30.
- Dayton lost to Bowling Green 7-5. Billy Hamilton was 2-for-5 with a homer (!) and Donald Lutz had 3 hits. Daniel Corcino got lit up, giving up 7 runs without getting out of the 5th. Tucker Barnhart had 2 hits and 2 runs batted in. Up next: Josh Smith takes on BG at 8:05.
- Billings won 7-4 against Helena. Tony Cingrani started and gave up 3 runs in 5 innings (which is more than you'd expect) but still got the win. Robert Maddox went 3-for-5 and Bryson Smith hit his 5th homer. Up next: Great Falls at 9:05.

I know it's Bakersfield, but Holy Cow, Devin Lohman
Also, whenever I see something about Carolina’s SS, I think of Duran Duran; Gregorious! I hate him for that.

Is the Louisville game a home game?
Whatever.

Nope, in Indy
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."
Fred Lewis will be a great addition to the riverboat
6-2, 185

Darn, for a minute there I thought he got a new job

Bako faced Eric Surkamp last night.
For some reason they sent him to High-A after his Giants cup of coffee. I have no idea if a player of his calibre might’ve been on the table for Ramon, but if so, failing to trade him is Walt’s biggest failure this year, by far.
It feels so nice to be back to normal

That depends
If we get two first round picks for Ramon, I’ll be okay with Walt’s decision

Hamilton has 3 HRs
I know at least one of them was an inside-the-park job, did last nights leave the yard?
It left the yard
He now has 5 homeruns in his professional baseball career. Only 40 % were inside-the-park.

Anyone else a little upset that the home run robbed him of a base-stealing opportunity?

that's fantastic.
I’m so, so elated that I opted to go to bed instead of watching the last 3 quarters.
Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

i didnt watch a play of either game last night
im stuck on the Rising: Rebuiliding Ground Zero series. its fantastic.
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
I love this Dragons team so much, they are a lot of fun.
but I am a little depressed about the idea of this team going to Bakersfield. yuk,
I think the Reds only have a 1-year contract with Bakersfield.
Hopefully they’ll be somewhere else next year. I’d love for them to go back to Potomac, myself.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
I am not sure, but I do think it is a 2 year deal.
that means next year, since we like all of these kids, we are going to be following a lot of footballesc scores, up until now, I have been largely ignoring all the 15-7’s that are common place out there.

I'd like to see them be the new AA team in Pensacola
by poojols on Sep 2, 2011 11:58 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Me too, but as a group, they are young for the MWL.
They would be that much younger in AA, I bet they would struggle.
by Eastwindquinn on Sep 2, 2011 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions
They're playing .700 ball in the second half
And they’ll be a year older

This seems like a good place for this with all the talk about Hamilton
Former Cincinnati Red Evar Swanson holds the Guinness Book of World Records for fastest time circling the bases, 13.3 seconds.

Speaking of inside-the-park home runs
Sam Crawford: Record 309 career triples considered unbreakable. Hit more triples than doubles in leading league in 1901; league-leading 16 HR in 1902 were all inside-the-park.

O RLY?
there with the wife-to-be(?)? Want to hang out with some internet people instead?

It would be cool to sit with other reds fans.

what about Adam Rosales?
What’s his fastest time?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
depends how they measure it
his nose is at home by the time he rounds third.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
y'know, there was a time where if Swanson had let me round the bases
it would’nt have taken more than 8 seconds, max.

Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

Micah Owings is 6-0 with a 2.60 ytd
and his career OPS is still over .800!
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
the still high K rate and drop in BBs in AA slightly concerns me with Yasmani
still hitting well though, but its BABIP driven. Like the power though. Will be interesting to see how he does next year.
