Minor League Recaps: 8/12
Sorry guys, I'm back. I had to move (again) from a short term apartment to my new place of residence. I went back to Augusta for a few days and then drove back to WV and slept on the floor for a couple nights until my stuff showed up. But I am back now and should resume regularly sceduled posting. Thanks for bigjoe for posting last night.
Richmond 4, Charlotte 2
- J. Anderson 2-4 2B
- B. Lillibridge 1-4 HR(4), 3 RBI
- J. Parr 6IP 4H 2R 2BB 5K
James Parr continues to pitch well and he might be a guy that gets a long look next season. I would expect to see him in the majors next year, and maybe even before Tommy Hanson simply because he is proving himself at AAA now and I would be surprised if the Braves jumped Hanson straight to the Majors. They usually let their pitchers simmer a little in AAA.
Mississippi @ Mobile - postponed
Myrtle Beach 2, Salem 8
- C. Rodriguez 1-3 HR(10), 2 RBI
The mighty Pelicans got shut down by a guy with an ERA near 8.00. That just can't happen. They still have a 4.5 game lead in the 2nd half so I guess I can forgive them. Just to point out they a re 22-6 in their last 28 games. Thats good.
Myrtle Beach 0, Salem 6
There really isn't anything worth mentioning in this game. Nothing.
Hagerstown @ Rome - Postponed
Kingsport 8, Danville 2
- G. Rodriguez 1-4 HR(12)
- J. GIlmore 2-4 2B, K
- C. Shehan 2-4
- D. Francis 4IP 4H 1R 2BB 5K
David (Ross? I keep forgetting what he goes by) Francis keeps on pitching well even though his team didn't pick him up. He has 52K in 38.2IP (largely do to that 16K no hit game) and has an ERA around 2.11. He has had good control and a solid ground ball ratio this year so everything looks promising. I think he could use a bump up. He could be our next Cole Rohrbough next season.
Braves 2, Phillies 9 - Game 1
- J. Hanson 2-4 K
- R. Stovall 2.2IP 6H 7ER 3BB 4K
A rough game for our recent draftee Robert Stovall. Jake Hanson has been one of the most consistent hitter on this team this season with a .304 average and a .715 . He will be a guy we need to keep an eye on next season.
Phillies 3, Braves 1 - Games 2
Nothing too exciting going on in this one either.

what a horrid night for the minors…not coincidentally, i pretty much picked all the same guys as you in my writeup (that i posted and deleted the exact same time as you)...because they were the only ones to do anything worth a damn
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
