Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

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.

Nope, in Indy

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."

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?

by Eastwindquinn on Sep 2, 2011 11:27 AM EDT reply actions  

It left the yard

He now has 5 homeruns in his professional baseball career. Only 40 % were inside-the-park.

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?

Great call on your part

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,

by Eastwindquinn on Sep 2, 2011 11:50 AM EDT reply actions  

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.

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.

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.

What’s his fastest time?

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 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.
