PrintVery rarely will you see me plug my personal life outside of baseball on this site, but I just wanted to share the news that I asked my girlfriend, Fran, to marry me yesterday and she said yes! Hooray Us! On to baseball.
Gwinnett 7, Louisville 1
- J. Schafer 3-5 2B, K, SB(1), .212 Avg
- C. Sammons 2-4 2B, .200 Avg
- M. Jones 1-1 HR(8), 2 RBI, .245 Avg
- M. Dunn 1.1IP 0H 0R 0BB 2K 0.78 ERA
- S. Marek 1IP 0H 0R 0BB 1K 1.35 ERA
Jordan Schafer put together his best game in since joining Gwinnett and hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. This Gwinnett bullpen is out of control. Mike Dunn has just been ridiculous all season long with that minuscule ERA and excellent component ratios to boot (30% K/PA and 15 hits allowed in 23IP). Stephen Marek still has a solid ERA but his components have suffered a little since his promotion.
Mississippi @ Mobile - Postponed
Wilmington 1, Myrtle Beach 9
- T. Jones 2-5 2B, 3 RBI, .278 Avg
- S. Sime 1-4 HR(1), 2 RBI, BB, K, .290 Avg
- JJ Hoover 8IP 5H 0R 0BB 7K 3.58 ERA
Remember about a month ago when JJ Hoover looked like he was completely lost in the Carolina League? Yeah don't worry about that anymore. He has given up just 2 earned runs in his last 27 innings with 17 H, 4 BB, and 23K. Those are numbers that I am very OK with. Hoover is one of my favorite guys and I got to watch him in the Sally League All Star game last summer. He has zero room for projection but he has command of all his pitches and his curveball can be a plus pitch when it is on. I hope he can keep this up and get a promotion along with Delgado later in the summer.
Savannah @ Rome - Suspended
I will complete this game when the game is completed so as to not add any confusion.
- E. Salcedo 1-3 BB
- A. Alcantara 1-4 2B, RBI
- J. Peguero 1-4 HR(1), 3 RBI, K
- H. Mendez 2IP 1H 0R 0BB 6K
Ok here is the deal with the DSL. I will do my absolute best to post these scores if they are posted when I do the recap. A lot of times they won't be up when I do my recap and I am not going to wait around for them to post (if they do). Also make sure to temper any enthusiasm over these stats because the level of play is so difficult to determine without solid scouting reports. Take Henry Mendez for example up there. He is 21 years old so that makes his effort tonight a little less impressive. Also take note that Edward Salcedo made his debut in a Braves uniform. I am pretty sure as soon as they get his visa stuff settled he will be coming stateside and staying stateside.

Congratulations!
Well done…well done…congrats on the engagement and congrats to the braves 4 game winning streak — let’s get Jordan up here soon!
Congratulations on the engagement!
I’m also engaged, by the way. I hope your fiance is as awesome as mine is!
Great to see Jordan have a good game. I need to see him have a good month (or three) in AAA before I’d be comfortable with calling him up though. Hopefully we’ll have no need of him this year.
Wait—Sammy Sime hit a homer? How did that happen? I thought he had zero pop.

Congratulations on the engagement.
I was unaware bloggers were allowed to leave their mothers basements and interact with other humankind. A great day for us all!
Salcedo is scheduled to come stateside on July 1. Not sure what affiliate he’ll be assigned to. My guess is Rome or Danville.
BTW, some of the 6-figure guys on the DSL roster:
Edward Salcedo — We know all about him.
Eduardo Castillo — RHP. 2008 sign out of DR.
Amable Nin — RHP. Also a 2008 DR sign.
Fredy Gamboa — OF from Colombia. Says he’s suspended right now, no idea why. Another 2008 sign.
Hector Garcia — Also a Colombian OF 2008 sign.
I’m sure there are more I don’t know about.

I'm confused
I apologize, but I’m a little lost.
He’s not yet stateside, yet he went 1/3 tonight? Is he just here temporarily for the time being? If so, when’s he headed back?
Not sure if you saw this...

In addition to the bigger bonus guys you mention, I’m interested in seeing how the four from Tenerife do, and the pair of 16 year olds-P Abraham Espinosa and OF Erick Maldonado.
CONGRATS!
Despite what everyone says, if you got the right one marriage is a blast!

Congrats on the engagement man! I’m already hitched. Just remember, no matter what, always be honest with each other!
Question: those guys that PW just named in the comments. Does anyone on here have any scouting info on them?

Elias Valdez
Don’t know a damn thing about him, but he doesn’t turn 18 til September and is a LHP listing 6’3" 165. That’s sexy.

Congrats Matt!
Can’t officially welcome you to the married club yet but your 1 step closer lol!
Congrats on the engagement!
Also, I will be seeing Gwinnett today in action against Louisville. I would love to get Aroldis Chapman’s autograph, but I would also love Schafer and Freeman.
The only time the Mets win is in the offseason.
Enjoy picking out dishes for hours!
Little stategy: have her go with her girlfriends to pick out dishes, reception location, cakes, etc and tell her “you pick the final two and I’ll check out those,” that way you don’t have to go do everything and she gets to have fun. my two cents…
