In Commentary And Analysis, Minor Leagues, News And Rumors by dmick8917 Comments

The Iowa Cubs and Kane County Cougars were postponed.

Tennessee Smokies 7 @ Mississippi Braves 0

Dallas Beeler threw 6.2 innings, allowed only 1 hit and no runs. He walked 3 and struckout 5. In 38 innings already, he’s allowed 29 hits, 3 of which have been home runs. He’s walked only 10 and struckout 22. It would be easy to say that Beeler is going to have to strikeout more batters to have a future in a Major League rotation, but that’s unlikely. He struckout 70 last season in 136 innings. He struck out 65 the year before in 95 innings. He’s not a strikeout pitcher and what you’ve seen so far is probably what you get. He does have pretty good control.

Zach Rosscup threw 1.1 innings, walked a batter and struckout 2. Rosscup is off to a very god start. He’s struckout 18 in 11.1 innings, allowed only 7 hits, 0 home runs, and he’s walked 4.

Brian Schlitter threw the 9th, allowed 2 hits and a walk.

Three Smokies were 2-5: Ronald Torreyes, Christian Villanueva and Johermyn Chavez. In between Villanueva and Chavez in the lineup was Rubi Silva who was 3-4 with a walk. Jonathan Mota was 2-3 with a walk. Matt Szczur was 1-6 and he struckout once.

Daytona Cubs 6 @ Lakeland Flying Tigers 2

Austin Kirk threw 6 innings and allowed a couple of runs. He gave up 10 hits, walked none and struckout 4. Austin Reed pitched the next two innings and gave up a hit and a walk. David Cales walked a batter, gave up a hit and struckout 1 in his 1 inning last night.

The Smokies collected 11 hits and a walk last night. They had only one extra base hit, a double by Stephen Bruno. Bruno was 2-4. Zeke DeVoss had the day off and leadoff man Tim Saunders made his year worse than it’s already been by going 0-4 with 2 strikeouts.

John Andreoli was 2-5 and Javier Baez was 1-5 with 2 strikeouts. Dustin Geiger was 2-4. Jorge Soler was 0-3 with a walk.

    Jorge Soler was 0-3 with a walk.

    He could have had three doubles, but when he saw the balls didn’t clear the fence he just went back to the dugout.

    I’m golfing with my boss’s boss after work today, so I really hope it doesn’t rain and I really REALLY hope he likes to drink

    @ Myles:
    The Michigan Ultra Domes (sponsored by Astrotruf brand artificial turf) — you know, the team with the maskot “Retractable Roofy the Retractable Roof” — don’t. They just play in an open stadium. With natural grass.
