Minor League Scorebook

Okay, kids, I've started the day-by-day feature. It's not quite ready for prime time, but I've got a basic database parsing going, and have all the year's data (or at least, what I think is all the year's data) into it for Dodgers and Angels prospects. To do before it goes live: I've also given some thought to doing this for everybody's minors, but that would be a lot of work, not to mention possibly annoying MLBAM.

Also: from Baseball America, the best AA tools:

Neither the Dodgers nor Angels had any players mentioned at the AAA level. At the major league level:

With that, we move on to tonight's scores...

2005-08-04: Memphis 13, Salt Lake 10

Prieto: 3-6, 1 RBI
Gorneault: 3-5, 1 RBI
Mathis: 2-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Allen: 4-5, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Andrews: (L, 6-6), 3.2 IP, 8 ER, 11 H, 3 K, 5 BB, 6.06 ERA
Woods: 2.0 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 7.50 ERA
Man, what went wrong with Jake Woods? Other'n that... Gorneault was a homer shy of the cyle, and tons of hitting on both sides.

As an aside, Casey Kotchman got called up and appeared in today's matinee game. Reading this MLB.com story, you'd think he was just in a long slump early on, but not according to Baseball America: "Scouts in the PCL say that Kotchman messed himself up by trying to produce more homers. He got too pull-conscious and achieved the opposite result."

2005-08-04: Springfield 4, Arkansas 8
Willits, R: 1-4
Aybar, E: 1-5
Kendrick, H: 2-5, 1 RBI
Morales, K: 0-5
Eylward: 2-3, 1 RBI
Aspito: 2-3, 2 RBI
Olenberger: (W, 7-5), 7.0 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 5 K, 3 BB, 3.79 ERA
Very sloppy game by Springfield, with three errors resulting in three unearned runs. Kasey Olenberger got the win with a quality start, three earned runs in seven innings, with five strikeouts, three walks, and four hits. Kendry Morales was the only Trav to fail to get on base.

Shall we talk about Mike Eylward a little more? Over the last two weeks, he's hitting .500/.543/1.048 with six home runs in 48 AB. That's hot.

2005-08-04: High Desert 8, Rancho Cucamonga 3
Wood, B: 0-4
McPherson: 1-4, 1 RBI
Wilson: 2-4, 1 RBI
Hunter: (L, 6-8), 5.0 IP, 6 ER, 5 H, 4 K, 3 BB, 5.11 ERA
MacKenzie: 3.0 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 6.02 ERA
D-Mac with an RBI single but no strikeouts. Good.
2005-08-04: Cedar Rapids 2, Southwest Michigan 10
Collins: 0-2, 2 BB
Toussaint: 1-4, 1 RBI
Madrigal: 0-3
Rodriguez, S: 1-4, 1 RBI
Gelinas: (L, 7-7), 2.1 IP, 6 ER, 9 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 4.14 ERA
Stanton: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 5.35 ERA
Torres: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 13.50 ERA
Stephen Smith commented on Alexi Casilla today, noting that he could be the only player to appear in all Angels minor league clubs within a year and a half.
2005-08-04: AZL Angels 2, AZL Giants 7 (missing line score)
Arredondo: (L, 1-2), 3.0 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 4.17 ERA
West: 3.0 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 4 K, 3 BB, 4.26 ERA
Finally got these guys to report, but I had to hack the parser to deal with it. They have been refusing to give me linescores since the second, and I had to synthesize the score (at least) to present it.
2005-08-04: Orem 4, Idaho Falls 2
Coon: 0-2, 3 BB
Trumbo: 1-4
Shearer: 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 2.33 ERA
Sullivan: (W, 2-2) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 7.46 ERA
This is Kelly Shearer's second time through Rookie ball, the fourteenth-rounder having a 2.82 ERA 2-3 record for Mesa last year before getting promoted to Provo last year. He's improved his K/BB ratio (20/13 so far) over last year, but he needs to miss more bats (26 hits in 32.2 IP) if he wants to advance.
2005-08-04: Las Vegas 3, Omaha 6
Young, D: 1-4, 1 RBI
Aybar: 1-5
Rose: 0-2, 2 BB
Schrager: 1-3, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Erickson: (L, 0-1), 4.0 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 11.25 ERA
Dannemiller: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 4.15 ERA
Osoria: 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 2.20 ERA
Not only does Scott Erickson not have it in the major leagues, he doesn't have it in the minors, either.
2005-08-04: Jacksonville 11, Tennessee 7
Abreu, T: 1-2, 1 RBI
Martin, R: 2-5, 1 RBI
LaRoche, A: 2-4, 1 RBI
Loney: 1-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Meadows: 1-4, 1 HR, 4 RBI
Ruggiano, J: 2-5, 1 RBI
Orenduff, J: (W, 5-1), 5.0 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 4.58 ERA
2005-08-04: Vero Beach 8, Tampa 7
Denker, T: 0-5
Kemp: 2-4, 1 RBI
Dunlap: 2-4, 1 RBI
Bruce: 2-4
Raglani: 2-4, 1 HR, 4 RBI
Cabrera: 2-4, 2 RBI
Muegge: 5.0 IP, 5 ER, 9 H, 5 K, 0 BB, 3.58 ERA
Hoorelbeke: (W, 7-1) (in relief), 2.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 1.80 ERA
The Dodgers overcame a 6-0 deficit and beat the Tampa Yankees for their sixth straight win, a season high. Seems pitching is a bit of a problem throughout the Yankees' system.
2005-08-04: Savannah 0, Columbus 5
Dewitt: 3-4, 1 RBI
Batz: 2-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Malone: (W, 9-5), 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 7 K, 3 BB, 3.65 ERA
Akin: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 3.90 ERA
2005-08-04: GCL Dodgers 0, GCL Marlins 3
De Jesus: 2-4
Bell: 1-3, 2 BB
Jansen: 1-2, 2 BB
Castillo: (L, 0-2), 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 4.81 ERA
Paris: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 K, 0 BB, 5.48 ERA
De Jesus over the last week: .450/.500/.500. Kuh-razee!
2005-08-04: Ogden 5, Casper 3
Mitchell: 1-3, 2 BB, 1 RBI
Locke: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI
Pujols: 0-2, 2 BB
Justis: 3-4
Wade: (W, 2-0), 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 4.12 ERA
Pratt: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 2.92 ERA
Here's a brief story about Ogden's Brent Leach, Crafty Southpaw™.
"I'm not a flame-thrower," said Leach, who allowed three hits and an unearned run Tuesday in topping Idaho Falls. "I don't heat it up by any means. I just try to keep them off-balance and keep them guessing."

...

"Everyone wants his fastball to be his best pitch," Leach said. "I'm a starter now and I've fallen in love with my changeup. I never used it in college. I usually stay around 87-88 but for one inning, I could throw between 90 and 92.

I really appreciate what you are doing. I'm out in Texas and I'm a lonely Dodger fan. I found your site from Dodger blues and have been addicted to 6-4-2 ever since. Keep up the great work.
 
Dodger Blues? Many, they still haven't given me a link. Whatever, thanks for the kind words.
