Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Minor League Recaps: 8/21

Yay! Today is my birthday! (Friday that is)

Richmond 1, Columbus 6

  • J. Anderson 2-4 2B, RBI, CS(7)
  • D. Hernandez 2-4
  • M. Acosta 1IP 1H 0R 0BB 0K

Apparently in the midst of this hitting streak Josh Anderson has taken hits away from all the other R-Braves. How sad. The streak is up to 26 games now and if you were wondering the international league record is 44 games set last season I believe. I want to say that the minor league hitting streak record is 61 games set by Joe Dimaggio. (Yep he holds the record for most consecutive games with a hit in the minors and majors).

Mississippi 3, Carolina 9 (Game 1 Suspended from yesterday)

  • J. Schafer 1-4 2 K
  • J. Guzman 1-4 2B, RBI

Really there wasn't a whole lot going on here. In an oddity of stats, Kris Medlen got the loss in the game after facing only one batter. He faced him yesterday and then the game was suspended. Deunte Heath allowed the runner to score and Carolina led the rest of the way giving Medlen the loss. How dumb.

Mississippi 9, Carolina 3 (Game 2 - 7 Innings)

  • J. Schafer 1-4 RBI, K
  • V. Pope 1-3 RBI, BB, K
  • Q. Davis 2-4 2 RBI
  • S. Marek 1IP 0H 0R 0BB 3K

You always like to see your late inning relievers striking out the side. Schafer has strung together a nice little 10 game hitting streak to get his stats back into the respectable territory. I wonder was the post season publications will say about him? Will they recognize his late season surge?

Myrtle Beach 2, Winston-Salem 3

  • G. Hernandez 2-4 2 2B, 2 K
  • C. Rohrbough 6.2IP 7H 3R 1BB 6K

Rohrbough pitched one of his better outings of the year and still got the loss as the offensive juggernaut that is the Pelicans couldn't get things going. Also this is the first time in a long time I remember putting Gorkys Hernandez name on this list. He still isn't even 21 so I'm not worried, but he has fallen off a lot since earlier in the season.

Rome @ Savannah - Postponed due to wet grounds

 

Elizabethton 1, Danville 4

  • J. Campusano 2-4 2B, 2 RBI
  • J. Gilmore 1-4 K
  • C. Fuller 3-4 2 2B
  • J. Thompson 2.2IP 4H 1R 1BB 4K

Highly touted draft pick Jacob Thompson makes his second appearance on the mound for Danville and does quite well. Campusano and Fuller continue to be two of the more consistent hitters on this team and some of the only ones hitting for any real power (most of the power at this level is gap power, don't think I mean homers).

Happy BDay

Nice outing by Marek.

I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

Happy Birthday!

I thought the minor league hit streak was 69 games set by Joe Wilhoit in 1919. There’s some controversy behind it I think cause of the league, but it’s official.

Um................

I would think Hurricane Fay has something to do with Rome being off.
