Prior to this week, I made a habit of browsing this forum to check up on the progress of our minor league teams. I could always count on a thread dated, for example, "5/27" with summaries of games and performances from noteable players.

 

I liked it. Very simple. Now, I have to manually search individual teams' websites and.....unfortunately, WSI. I had no idea Lumsden was given the Felix Diaz treatment last week because no one reported on it.

 

DO YER JOB, Futuresox!!!!11

Gage and Heads are gone for the weekend. So there's the reason for the lack of reports on our awful™ farm system.

The Knights are winning 5-1 top of the 3rd. Triple for Fields so far and Rogs steals his 15th base

 

Stephen Randolph is pitching he's 4-0 for the season.

The Knights win 7-3 they are now 39-15 and have an 11 1/2 lead over Durham.

 

Stephen Randolph is now 5-0, 6 innings 2 runs, 1 ER, 5 SO. His ERA is now 2.83. Rueben Rivera went 3-4 with a HR and 3 RBIs. Josh Fields 2-4 with a double and a Triple. Casey Rogowski 2-4 with an RBI his team leading 34th.

 

Paulio Reynoso walked the bases loaded in the 9th. He was angry with the home plate ump. Tim Redding and Razor Shines got thrown out in the 9th. Jeff Farnsworth saved his 11th out of 11 save opportunities.

 

Tomorrow a couple of veterans go: Tim Redding vs Jose Lima

If Fields doesn't hit 2 or more HRs off of Lima, he's not ready.

I will fill in the rest while taking in a game from Tucson Electric...

 

Huntsville 7 Barons 3 W- Dillard (3-4) L- Broadway (4-3)

 

Lance fell behind batter after batter that cost him with 7 walks in 4.2 IP on Offense the Barons only had 7 hits and continue to struggle with the bat.

Adam Russell had his great stuff today and Chris Amador drilled a game tying triple to help the cause.

That's is tonights recap.

 

Wow Chris just drilled a ball off the score board in Left he just missed a long one in the 1st with a double.

If Fields doesn't hit 2 or more HRs off of Lima, he's not ready.

 

I guess he's not ready Only Torcato hit one off of Lima.

 

Knights win again 6-5 They are now 40-15

 

Tim Redding gets the win, He's 5-5. Boone Logan pitched 2 scoreless Ryan Sweeney went 3-5.

Lance fell behind batter after batter that cost him with 7 walks in 4.2 IP on Offense the Barons only had 7 hits and continue to struggle with the bat.

So, is this what happens when a supposed control pitcher with no stuff fails? Broadway can't afford to walk 7 batters over 18 innings, yet alone 4.2.

 

If anyone were to watch Rheinecker and Buehrle battle alongside each other this afternoon, they'd realize control is everything for soft tossers. Hell, does Broadway even hit above 86 mph? Both would have Lance beat in the velocity department if he doesn't.

 

Without velocity and control, Broadway is simply batting practice. Needs to avoids starts such as those.

C'mon Flash, I expect better from you than that.

Broadway throws in the low 90's and upper 80's and has a curveball thats superior to anything Buehrle throws. Not saying he'll be better than Buehrle, there are a lot of guys in this game with 4 better pitches than Buerhle has that don't even come close to being as good as Mark.
