Farmers Only Weekend Harvest: Ibandel Isabel Is Making Florida League History

Brandon Larson Honorary Star Of The Weekend

Ibandel Isabel - He wanged four wangers for like 6 RBI and even walked once which is kind of rare for him. He’s now sitting one shy of 30 and about to break a Florida League single season record for smacking doinks over walls in a league where doinks don’t get dinged. Have a trophy, young man.

Friday

Louisville Bats, 3, Lehigh Valley IronPigs 3

Lucas “Fake” Sims put together another real good start since joining the Reds. He gave up 1 earned run over 6 innings on 2 hits, 2 walks, while striking out. Austin “The” Brice “Is Right” struck out 1, and Kevin “Mallard” Quackenbush struck out 3 as they both pitched scoreless innings out of the pen. Quackenbush picked up his 21st save of the year. Gabby Guerrero doinked another donk and walked, and Brian “Beef” O’Grady went 3 for 4 with a RBI, stolen base, and 2 runs scored. O’Grady has been beating the hell out of the ball in AAA by the way.

Tony “Sad” Santillan had one of his few bad starts of the year. He gave up 5 earned runs over 4.2 innings (6 H, 3 BB, 7 K, 2 HR). Gavin LaValley doinked a dong, and Mitch Nay doubled and went 2 for 4 with 2 RBI and a run scored.

Daytona Tortugas 1, Jupiter Hammerheads 7 (F/7)

Kevin “Cannon” Canelon pitched four very good scoreless innings. He struck out 4, and allowed only 1 hit and 1 walk in those four innings. The wheels fell off after Canelon. Ibandel “Strong” Isabel knocked in the only run with his 26th homer of the year.

Pensacola Blue Wahoos 2, Mobile BayBears 14

Billings Mustangs 6, Ogden Raptors 5

It was a reliever fest and no one was of particular note. Except that Luis Alecis only went 2.2 innings while giving up 3 earned runs. He did throw 60 pitches so they may have just decided to pull him. Moises “Super” Nova struck out 3 in 1.2 scoreless innings. Drew Mount went 3 for 4 with a RBI and 2 runs scored.

Greeneville Reds 0, Bristol Pirates 3

Pensacola Blue Wahoos 4, Mobile Baybears 9

Wyatt “Derp” Strahan was both a hard luck loser and not very efficient. He allowed 3 earned runs (6 total) over 5.2 innings on 6 hits, 4 walks, while striking out 3. Robinson “Brick” Leyer struck out 1 in his scoreless appearance. Aristides “Horseshit” Aquino went 2 for 4 with a solo ding dong, and Daniel Sweet homered again. It was a 2-run shot. Chris “Annie Are You” Okey went 3 for 4 with a RBI.

Pensacola has Monday off.
