Sunday Pebble Report

Colorado Springs, L 5-13 - After the end of the sixth, the Sky Sox held a 5-4 lead. Josh Towers pitched the first five innings and allowed all four runs. Luis Vizcaino came in for the sixth and things went smoothly for him (after the leadoff triple). Then Chris George came in. He allowed two doubles and two singles to score three runs. Juan Morillo came in the next inning, issued three straight walks, and then recorded his first out. A single scored the first run in the eighth. Landon Powell had a two-run groundout as Doug Bernier committed a throwing error. In the ninth, we saw more of the same as Steven Register allowed three runs, all unearned. On back-to-back plays, Eduardo Cornejo and Joe Koshansky committed errors. The first run scored on Koshansky's error, and the other two scored on a ground out and a single.

Joe Koshansky went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a two-run homer (12). Christian Colonel had two hits, one for a double.

Tulsa, L 8-9 - Losing 4-7 entering the top of the sixth, the Drillers scored a run in each inning. Unfortunately, two runs in the bottom of the sixth gave the Rockhounds enough room to win the game. Matt Miller and Jeff Kindel both had two hits and two RBI, and Jeff Dragicevich had a solo home run for his eighth of the season (and three fielding errors). Corey Wimberly and Dexter Fowler each had two hits as well. Wimberly also added two stolen bases for 23 on the season.

Xavier Cedeno allowed nine runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks. He struck out six. Jon George and Darren Clarke held opposing batters to three hits and no runs over the final 2 2/3 innings.

Modesto, L 1-5 - Anthony Jackson had a double to leadoff the game and eventually scored on a Mike Paulk sac fly. Nick Haley had two hits and Jay Cox had one. Modesto had only those four hits. Jackson (15), Cox (1), and Haley (6) each stole a base.

Esmil Rogers pitched valiantly for seven inning, allowing only one run on four hits. He walked two and struck out seven. Will Harris came in for the eighth and allowed a two-run homer, an RBI single, and a RBI double to lose the game.

Asheville, W 6-4 - Helder Velazquez went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and two stolen bases (6). The game also saw Everth Cabrera hit a triple, score on a Mike Mitchell sac fly, and steal a base (36). Mike Mitchell also stole two bases (21). Brian Rike played and went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and three strikeouts.

Sheng-An Kuo liked the number six tonight. He picked up his sixth winning after pitching six innings. He allowed two runs on six hits, and walked two and struck out six. Craig Baker struck out three in the eighth before Randall Taylor struck out three to pick up his 18th save.

Why would they do this?

In today’s lineup at ashville, cabrera is at SS and Valasquez is at 2B. This is 2nd time this week Evereth has played SS.

My guess is because they want Everth to become a super-utility player

Or maybe it’s Helder they want to be that type of player, so they try and keep both players familiar with defending each side of second. It opens up more possibilities for both the players and the team, so I don’t see anything wrong with it.

ONE THING IS FOR SURE...IT'S NOT BECAUSE MIKULIK IS DUMB...

he’s the best manager in the organization. The players at Asheville love him, play hard for him and respect him. He’s tough and demanding but fair. Nice balance.

Obviously,

I did not even come close to implying that.

I DIDN'T TAKE IT ....

that way; I was just indicating the respect level that Mikulik has with his players.

Out for the last 4 games?

Carte’s been a no show for the last few games, any word on an injury?

Shane Lindsay

Got the official Rockies’ explanation on Shane Lindsay’s broken hand this morning. Sorry it wasn’t faster, but I don’t cover the Nuts on the road. It’s in my blog, Inside the Shell, conveniently linked here.

Also, good to see Cabrera getting work in at shortstop in Asheville. As soon as he’s comfortable there, he should be on the way back to Modesto, a team that has played without a shortstop since Hector Gomez got injured on opening night. Daniel Mayora has been a real trooper at the position, even emerging as a team leader, but let the guy get back to second base where he belongs.

you really think

they would move cabrerra up to modesto to be out of position? I dont think so and plus Ashville is in a playoff hunt and modesto is not. he wont go anywhere
