Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Tuesday Pebble Report

Colorado Springs, L 8- 13 - . . . And the next night, the Sky Sox allowed their opponent to score in seven of nine innings. Albuquerque scored at least one run in each of the first seven innings of the game. Valerio De Los Santos allowed nine of those runs in 4 1/3 IP. Matt Daley finished the fifth and allowed one of the two inherited runners from De Los Santos to score. Juan Morillo allowed three runs in the sixth inning. Victor Zambrano allowed the last run (unearned, it was), went two innings, and struck out three. Josh Newman pitched the last inning for the Sky Sox and struck out one.

It was a night for doubles as Cory Sullivan (3-for-4, 1 RBI, 1 SB), Seth Smith (2-for-5, 1 RBI), and Rick Guarno (2-for-5, 1 RBI) each had two doubles. Ian Stewart hit his fifth triple and drove in a run.

Tulsa, W 7-3 - Monday was a good night for both Chris Nelson and Neil Wilson. Nelson started the night with a two-run homer (3) in the first inning (he also had a sac fly in the seventh), and Wilson banged a three-run homer (1) in the seventh inning to make it 7-2 game in favor of the Drillers. Tony Blanco hit his first homer for the Drillers to complete the scoring. It was also a good night for Dexter Fowler. He had a bunt single in the first (and scored on Nelson's homer), and then tripled (4) in the seventh (and scored on Nelson's sac fly).

Brandon Hynick turned in seven solid innings. He allowed two runs on eight hits (one run came off a homer). He walked one and struck out two. Casey Weathers allowed one run on two hits and a walk in the eighth inning. He struck out two.

Modesto, L 0-4 - Victor Ferrante and Cole Garner both had three hits in four at-bats last night. One of Ferrante's hits went for his fifth double.

Simon Ferrer allowed four runs on eights and  four walks in five innings. He also struck out three. Brandon Durden pitched the last three innings and did not allow a base runner.

Asheville, W 3-2 - The sixth inning was the decisive once in last night's contest. In the top half of the inning, Beau Seabury and Everth Cabrera led off the inning with walks. Mike Mitchell put down a sac bunt, but made it to first after catcher Jordan Abruzzo committed a throwing error. Brian Rike and Darin Holcomb got out in the next two ABs. Jeff Cunningham hit a three-run triple to give the Tourists the 3-0 lead. Brian lapin hit a triple in the ninth, but nothing came of it.

In the bottom of the sixth, Cory Riordan allowed a lead off triple, and that guy scored on a double in the next AB. A sac fly scored the second run that inning. That was all Savannah was able to score. Riordan wound up going 7 2/3 innings and allowed those two runs on six hits. He also struck out six. Craig Rodriguez struck out the one batter he faced to end the eighth inning. Randall Taylor picked up his 10th save.

It would be helpful if...

you included the W-L records of each team in the paragraph describing their game.

Am I lazy? Yes.

As usual, great work!

Juan Morillo's stock is dropping..

In his last 10 games he has pitched 5 scoreless appearances and had 4 games where he has given up at 2-3 runs. He might be sufferring from Uballitis with 16 BB versus 13 K’s for a K/BB of 0.81

There's only one Rocktober!!

Victor Zambrano

Victor has looked much better in relief than starting.

In three relief appearances covering 5 innnings his line is 3H, 0ER, 1BB and 7SO. (He did give up an unearned run last night.)

While it will take alot more appearances than this to convince me, he may have found his niche.

Every time I see Asheville on here it seems like they win.

Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!

They're a very good team this year...

Our 2007 draft is looking very underrated on draft day at this point, as they make up the bulk of that team’s value.

I would have to agree with this

However, because the class is short on tools, there’s still a chance for a high flameout rate by AA. Still, so long as the international department continues to turn out high end talent like Chacin on the cheap while the draft fills in depth, our system will stay well stocked. I would like to see a few more risks in June though.

Agreed

I couldn’t agree more.

Just one or two high ceiling guys per draft even.
