Game 28 Spillover Thread III
Pitching staff won't let Johnny Damon spoil perfectly good loss

Shelley Duncan didn’t play in today’s doubleheader, leading to some speculation that he was on his way to the Bronx, but it turns out he just has a bum shoulder. Oh, and Kevin Thompson is headed for the indy leagues.

Triple-A Scranton
Game 1
(7-2 win over Indianapolis in 7 innings) makeup of yesterday’s rain out
Doug Bernier, John Rodriguez & Luis Nunez: both 1 for 2, 1 BB – Bernier was hit a pitch, scored a run & drove one in … J-Rod got plunked, drove in a run & K’ed … Nunez stole a bag & scored a pair of runs
Eric Duncan & Austin Jackson: both 0 for 4, 2 K – that’s some good ol’ prospect suckiness right there
Todd Linden & Chris Malec: both 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K – Linden doubled & drove in 3 runs … Malec hit a solo homer & drove in another run
Juan Miranda & Kevin Cash: both 1 for 4, 1 R – Miranda doubled & K’ed … Cash K’ed thrice
Casey Fossum: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 5-8 GB/FB – 54 of 83 pitches were strikes (65.1%)
Anthony Claggett: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 5-1 GB/FB – 14 of 21 pitches were strikes (66.7%)

Game 2 (9-3 win over Indianapolis in 7 innings)
Kevin Russo: 2 for 2, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB
Doug Bernier & Chris Malec: both 1 for 3, 1 R – Bernier was hit by a pitch, drove in 2 runs & K’ed … Malec drew a walk & K’ed twice
Todd Linden & John Rodriguez: both 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Juan Miranda: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K
Austin Jackson: 0 for 4, 2 K – 1 for his last 12 (.083) … let’s see how he responds to his first AAA slump
Chris Stewart: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 K
Luis Nunez: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 RBI
Steven Jackson: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 4-5 GB/FB – 34 of 56 pitches were strikes (60.7%) … the only run came on a Steve Pearce solo homer … that’s a damn fine spot start

Double-A Trenton
Game 1
(6-0 loss to Bowie in 7 innings) this was the makeup of one of the three games they had rained out this week
Eduardo Nunez: 1 for 3
Kyle Anson: 1 for 1, 2 BB, 1 PB
Everyone else: comined 0 for 19, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 HBP – Marcos Vechionacci drew a walk & K’ed … Jorge Vazquez was hit by a pitch … Colin Curtis & Seth Fortenberry both K’ed twice
Ryan Pope: 4 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 6-2 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … 13 runs allowed in his last 15 IP
Kevin Whelan: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 3-0 GB/FB – you love the 16 K in 13.1 IP … the 7 BB, not so much
Game 2 (4-3 loss to Bowie in 7 innings)

Jose Gil: 2 for 3, 1 2B, 1 RBI
Alan Horne: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 7-5 GB/FB – it’ll take some time for him to get his old stuff back – if he does at all – but the important thing is that he’s healthy
Amaury Sanit: 1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K – that’s an interesting line, so here’s what happened: first batter walked, next guy sac bunted him to 2nd but beat it out, the next guy sac bunted them to 2nd & 3rd, next guy grounded out to score the run

High-A Tampa (4-3 loss to Dunedin, walk-off style)
Austin Krum, Damon Sublett & Brandon Laird: all 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K – Krum doubled, was caught stealing & threw a runner out at third from CF
Eric Fryer, Jack Rye & Addison Maruszack: all 0 for 4 – Fryer & Maruszack each K’ed
Jesus Montero: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K – he caught, so the leg injury can’t be that bad … allowed 2 SB to the guy with the most steals in baseball
Jeremy Bleich: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 8-6 GB/FB
Jon Hovis: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 3-3 GB/FB – Jon Hovis doesn’t blow saves, saves blow Jon Hovis

Low-A Charleston (2-1 win over Asheville in 11 innings, walk-off style)
