Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Minor League Recaps: 8/25

Richmond 2, Toledo 3

  • B. Lillibridge 1-4 3B, K
  • S. Thorman 2-4 HR(19), K
  • B. Canizares 3-4 RBI
  • A. Lerew 4.2 5H 3R 5BB 1K

Lerew wasn't very good as he attempts to come back from elbow surgery. A 5-1 BB/K ratio can never bode well. I don't know at this point if we can truly expect anything from him in the future. I wouldn't be surprised to see Canizares get a look in September simply because we have very little offensively at 1B. I'm not at all convinced he is the answer though.

Mobile 0, Mississippi 1 - Game 1 (7 Innings)

  • K . Kaaihue 1-2 3B, BB
  • J. Schafer 0-1 2BB, K
  • T. Redmond 5.1IP 4H 0R 3BB 6K

Redmond continues to impress and raises his season record to 13-5. The idea of anyone allowing Kala Kaaihue to leg out a triple is mind boggling.

Mobile 4, Mississippi 2

  • J. Schafer 1-2 3B
  • G. Creek 2-3 2 RBI, K
  • T. Hanson 5IP 6H 4R 4BB 6K

A little bit of an off night for Tommy Hanson. Only one of the runs he allowed was earned, but he did give allow 10 base runners in 5 innings which is rare for him. Schafer continues to put together a huge August with an OPS around 1.130 for the month. Sure his walk rate is down, but his K rate isn't really up from other months and he is hitting the crap out of the ball. Maybe he is just being more aggressive at the plate. I'd rather have him hitting doubles and triples than walking twice a game.

Wilmington @ Myrtle Beach - Rained Out

Jason Heyward's rise to Atlanta is delayed one more day.

Rome @ Columbus - Rained Out

Freddie Freeman will get lonely over the next week.

Danville 5, Burlington 4 (10 Innings)

  • C. Fuller 2-4 2B, RBI, BB
  • J. Gilmore 3-4 HR(4), 2 RBI, BB

Jon Gilmore is batting nearly .400 this month and has 2 of his 4 homers. I would like to see him get another chance at Rome, but I fear it is too late now to make any difference.

Phillies 5, Braves 6 - Game 1

 

Braves 7, Phillies 8 - Game 2

Sorry I am really tired.
