September 11, 201015 yr And my Cinderella pick continues to thrive. They won again tonight. Have yourself a night Jon Gilmore.
September 11, 201015 yr 5 in the 12th for Winston-Salem, including a 3-run jack by Jose Martinez. 4 shutout innings for Jacob Rasner to close out the win. They sweep the series.
September 11, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) 4 shutout innings for Jacob Rasner to close out the win. He got out of a huge jam in the bottom of the 10th too. One he helped create, but still... Gutsy performance. --------------------------------------------- Kinston Bottom of the 10th * Donnie Webb singles on a line drive to center fielder Jose Martinez. * Justin Toole out on a sacrifice bunt to first baseman Seth Loman. Donnie Webb to 2nd. * Jacob Rasner intentionally walks Bo Greenwell. * Jeremie Tice strikes out swinging. * Chun-Hsiu Chen walks. Donnie Webb to 3rd. Bo Greenwell to 2nd. * Kyle Bellows strikes out swinging.
September 11, 201015 yr Great Falls lost game 1 of its playoff series. Hopefully they can bounce back and the Sox can have 2 affiliates in league finals.

WS has produced one. How has WS been better than the Knights? I want explanation.
September 13, 201015 yr Author Game 1 of the Championship series has started... Potomac @ Winston-Salem Sauer pitching The Dash locked up their berth in the 2010 Mills Cup Championship Series by sweeping the Kinston Indians in the opening round of the playoffs! The Dash now take on the Northern Division Champion Potomac Nationals, beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday at BB&T Ballpark! Winston-Salem will also host Game Two of the series before hitting the road for Games Three, Four and Five (Games Four and Five only if necessary). Edited September 13, 201015 yr by scenario
September 14, 201015 yr Author Dash wins 4-0. Sauer went 8 innings... gave up 5 hits... struck out 6... walked none. We got 12 hits... with KW Jr. leading the hit parade... going 3-4 with a double and a run scored. Loman, Lewis, Martinez, and Garcia got two hits apiece.
September 14, 201015 yr Strangely, the Dash don't have homefield advantage in the championship series, even though they won both halves and Potomac did not. Games 3, 4 and 5 would be in Potomac. Edited September 14, 201015 yr by JPN366
September 14, 201015 yr Sauer showing he's got big stones. I find it ironic the two star players of the game were Kenny Williams' son and a guy whose first name is Ozzie.
September 14, 201015 yr Why does KW Jr lead off in the playoffs? I mean, Short was a leadoff man all year, right? Why does KWJR with his numbers get that chance? Makes no sense to me.
September 15, 201015 yr Author The Dash lost 5-3. They had a 3-2 lead going into the 8th, thanks to an outstanding start by Dylan Axelrod. Then Brandon Kloess gave up 3 runs. Big opportunity missed. Bah. Series tied 1-1. The remaining games are on the road. Edited September 15, 201015 yr by scenario

KW Jr. has gotten at bats all year long when there were better options with better averages on the bench.

So, the decision to put him at leadoff may seem curious, but it's hard to argue with the results.

So, the decision to put him at leadoff may seem curious, but it's hard to argue with the results. Not to mention he was leading off when Short went down with injury. He hit pretty well during his absence around late August/September and like you said, during the playoffs. I'm sure the manager did not want to fix what wasn't broke.
September 15, 201015 yr I'm going to vomit repeatedly next year when KW Jr. gets 500 at bats for the Barons, and hits .220 the whole time. While somebody who's hitting over .300 rides the bench. Of course, he'll go on the DL 3 or 4 times.

September 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:44 AM) That's a lot of at bats to get if you spend a month on the DL. He managed to get 274 at bats in 74 games this year. That averages out to 3.7 at bats per game. He would've gotten more had he not spent so much time on the DL. The only hope is that he spends a lot of time on the DL, otherwise he will get 500 and hit leadoff all year while sucking big time. I hope he decides to retire, he's taking at bats away from other prospects.

I hope he decides to retire, he's taking at bats away from other prospects. I wouldn't put him on your Kyle McCulloch type hate list yet. If he wasn't KW's son, would you really get this irritated about him? He's played less than two full seasons in the minors. He's got athletic genes. And he showed significant improvement in the second half of the season this year... batting .282 after the all-star break. I think it's worth seeming him at the AA-level (and healthy) before we try to force him into retirement.
