Jake Arrieta is fantastic. Marquez better pitch his ass off tonight, if the Knights are going to compete.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Orioles have a very nice future.

Marquez off to a great start--single, single, walk.

 

Then strikeout, sac fly, single, double.

 

4 runs

4 runs in 2 out in the first. Marquez is meat.

Marquez is fully torched. 7 runs. Still in the 2nd, and Norfolk is still batting.

Looks like Jacob Rasner is ready for Birmingham.

 

Nathan Jones as well.

Gartrell with a three-run jack.

4 shutout innings for Jhonny Nunez. Apparently he can't give the Sox bullpen what Tony Pena can.

I get the feeling a DL trip and surgery are on the horizon for Marquez. Does anyone know what his velocity has looked like since he came off of the DL?

I was somewhat surprised when he said bone spurs in the elbow that he hadn't wound up in surgery.

I'm gonna call this as the first day of Shelby's soon to be very very very hot streak.

Recaps...

 

Charlotte lost 8-4 to Norfolk. Marquez got pummelled, gave up 9 H, 7 ER in 2 IP. ERA now 10.35. Nunez, Wassermann and Williams finished the next 7 innings giving up just 1 run. Restovich with 3 hits, Lucy and Betemit with HR's.

 

B-Ham came back to beat Montgommery, 7-6. McCulloch got beat up again, 5 ER in 5 IP. Fernandez got a scary save giving up a run and having the tying run at second. Shelby, Flowers, Cook and Viciedo, the heart of the B-Ham order, all with 2 hits, and Gartrell with the 3-run HR.

 

W-S beat Salem, 2-0. Rasner throw 6 shutout innings, 5 H, 3 BB, 5 K - his ERA now 2.84, has a 60:15 K:BB ratio, and batters are hitting only .198 against him. Mollenhauer with 2 hits, Loman with a 2B scored the runs.

 

Kannapolis won in a blowout, 9-0. Leesman throw 6 innings giving up just 1 hit, had 4 BB and 5 K. Burdie and O'Neill completed the shutout. Greene with another 2 hits has his average up to .315, Garcia and Vargas with 2 hits each.

 

GF came back to win 4-3. Buch got some guys out this time and went 1 IP for the win, in relief of Wickswat who went 5 IP giving up 2 ER. Jeff Tezak with 3 hits now hitting .385 for GF, and Colligan hit another HR to give himself a line of .364/.465/.750/1.205 so far in 13 games. I doubt he stays in GF for long.

 

Bristol lost 5-4 to Johnson City. Simmons started, with 2 IP, gave up 3 ER. Holmberg went 2 IP giving up 1 ER, Heidenreich 3 IP 1 ER (also 4 BB and no K for him), then Wiltz with 1 scoreless IP. Misael Taverez had a 3-run double, Wagner and Lee with 3 hits each.
