Hopefully, no more injuries.

Wow, already an ejection from the WS game:

Ejections: Winston-Salem Dash third baseman Jeremy Farrell ejected by HP umpire Jimmie Hollingsworth (1st)

 

Also, HBP: CHawkins.

Second HBP in as many days for CHawk. Hope it hit the meaty parts.

 

Through 2IP, Johnson with 4K 0BB.

 

Aw yiss

Braulio Ortiz roughed up pretty badly.

Phegley with a homer.

Don't like Jared Mitchell's body language...struck out and threw down the bat in disgust, although he checked his swing and shouldn't have been out. Also has a hitch in his swing, his hand positioning and the bat pointing towards the pitcher, it's slowing down his swing too much.

 

Like Walker's balance at the plate, he's leading the Southern League with 29 steals.

 

Black is a BIG guy...250-260 pounds, showed good patience and took a walk, Semien also walked to lead off the game and Walker should have walked as well but got a bad call for strike 3.

 

 

Nicks/Nix or however you spell his name, the starter for BIRM, was in independent league ball for 4 years. Originally drafted by the Braves.

 

Semien with a nice play ranging towards the area behind the mound and throwing across his body for the final out.

 

1-0 Barons (run scored on a Saladino soft liner to LF that was dropped in the sunset)

 

 

Short, 6-3, Miguel Gonzalez lined to SS, Dan Wagner a seeing eye grounder down the 3B line for a single, Semien grounded one up the middle and thrown out 4-3

Erik Johnson out after just 3 innings for some reason.

Interesting that Erik Johnson is pulled after 3 innings. Hopefully he's not injured, but the way things are going of late, you have to hold your breath. If he's not hurt, maybe he's on his way up and/or getting traded.

Wow, that's interesting.

Trading Johnson would be a COMPLETE shocker.

 

Unless he's being packaged with a Dunn/Dunn/Ramirez to clear salary off the decks (the kind of move we've grown to love to hate).

 

For M's fans, since it's the Jackson Generals' tv feed:

D. Hultzen having some ouchiness, pulled from his start at Tacoma. Taijuan Walker has started out pretty dominant after being promoted to Tacoma.

Holy crap that would COMPLETELY be the wrong move.

 

Maybe a starter is getting moved? Man I dunno, reallllly hoping he isn't hurt.

Who knows, maybe he's an added part of a package with someone like Rios for a blockbuster return?

I'm going to make a bold prediction---he got through 3 just to get his work in, and they're going to bring him up and move to a 6-man for a while.

or maybe they'll have him pitch next Monday against the Cubs and try to schedule Santiago/Q/Sale to face the Tigers?

If you put any prospect with Dunn or Alexei just to dump their salary, you're an idiot. They're both playing well enough that people will be willing to eat their entire contracts at this point, even if there is a slight price to pay in terms of baseball talent.

Good call. They usually like to ease their way into the break with the starters to maximize rest.

Agreed, as I mention above, if he's used in a trade, it's just to sweeten the deal in return.

K. Walker a single through SS....Thompson just got under one, towering fly to LCF, more bad defense....Dan Black pull hooked a grounder into RF and then Borbon overran it and Walker scored all the way from 1B on the error.

 

 

Jared Mitchell, homer #4, frozen rope liner over the high RF fence....91 MPH FB, in on his hands but not enough, was able to yank his hands in and get around it. 4-0. No wind at all aiding it.

 

Brandon Short a single, Generals' pitcher at 70+ pitches in the 3rd still and scuffling.

Wasn't the 40 man filled this morning with the call up of Purcey? So, Johnson couldn't have been called up because there was no open roster spot.. right?

Correct, but by next Monday Purcey could be DFA'd, or some other move could be made with the 40-man (maybe Jhan Marinez). Johnson wouldn't be added officially until he has to.

Dan Hayes says groin strain.

on Johnson:

 

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 24s

@jlongrc was told it's a groin strain. Trying to make sure.

Bummer

Generals' announcers raving about Taylor Thompson...

 

Rare 2-3-9-5 putout....Gonzalez threw a pickoff attempt down the 1B line past Black, but Walker threw out the runner at 3rd when he stumbled rounding 2nd.

 

 

Impressive, Hector Santiago still throwing 94-95 after 110 pitches. (AN ASIDE)

Thanks for clarifying..I wasn't really sure how that worked!
