Minor League Scorebook
Opening news...
- The Travs announced that Kendry Morales has been named Texas League Player of the Week for August 22 through 28. Over that period he hit .667 with 4 HR and 12 RBI.
- I forgot to mention this on Sunday, but Oakland's AAA Sacramento Rivercats clinched a playoff berth in the Pacific South division. No other team has a winning record in that division, including the Dodgers' own Las Vegas 51's, who trail the Cats and the division (as of this writing) by 20.5 games, 55-80.
2005-08-29: Colorado Springs 7, Salt Lake 13
Callaspo, A: 5-5, 2 RBI
Gorneault: 2-5, 3 RBI
Mathis, J: 1-3, 2 BB, 3 RBI
Sorensen: 2-5, 2 RBI
Budde: 2-4, 1 RBI
Dunn: (BS, 2)(W, 4-7) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 4.07 ERA
Amazingly enough, no home runs for the Stingers, yet they simply pounded the Sky Sox, who went through five pitchers for the loss. The big loser was the rehabbing Ryan Speier, who took six runs.

2005-08-29: Arkansas 3, Tulsa 4
Aybar, E: 1-4
Willits, R: 1-4
Kendrick, H: 2-4
Napoli, M: 1-3, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Murphy: 2-4, 1 RBI
Morales, K: 1-4
Weaver: (L, 3-2), 5.1 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 9 K, 3 BB, 1 HR, 4.38 ERA
Sigh. Another disappointing outing for Weaver, who gave up four consecutive hits in the sixth before getting pulled. Rich will be pleased to note, though, that of Weaver's 16 outs, three were made by the groundball and four were made by flyballs; it represents some progress.

The loss clinches the season series for the Travs against the Drillers, 12-15. Jim Miller, the Drillers pitcher who surrendered a game-losing grand slam on Saturday, got Kendry Morales to fly out to deep center to end a seventh-inning threat. Erick Aybar's hitting streak is now at nine games.
Despite the loss, the Travs advance thanks to a Springfield loss; their magic number is one.
2005-08-29: Rancho Cucamonga 8, Inland Empire 4
Peel, A: 3-4, 1 RBI
Wood, B: 2-5, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Wilson: 2-5, 2 RBI
Sugden: 2-4, 1 RBI
Posey: 3.0 IP, 4 ER, 12.00 ERA
Touchstone: (W, 5-5) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 9.32 ERA
Mendoza: 3.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
The ultimate answer to the ultimate question: 42. Brandon Wood hit his 42nd home run tonight in a lopsided game. Rancho scored six of their eight runs in the first inning, in which twelve Quakes went to the plate and Wood made the final out. Three Rancho pitchers each went three innings to record the win, including Thomas Mendoza. Mendoza appears to have made his first appearance for Rancho, bypassing Cedar Rapids and Orem. Rich, who likes to pay attention to such things, will be pleased to note that four of his nine outs were by the groundball.

2005-08-29: Quad Cities 13, Cedar Rapids 8
Rodriguez, S: 1-6

Collins: 2-4, 1 RBI
Toussaint: 1-4
Madrigal: 3-5, 3 RBI
Renz: 2-5, 4 RBI
Cordova: (L, 4-5), 4.1 IP, 7 ER, 5 H, 4 K, 4 BB, 1 HR, 4.37 ERA
Not an especially good outing for Sean Rodriguez -- they haven't been, generally this year. Speaking of Sean, I got a note from Bryan Smith of Baseball Analysts tonight mentioning yesterday's Scorebook and my perplexment over Rodriguez. Here's grist for the mill: with his current .249/.371/.411 line, Rodriguez has a better OBP-Avg than any of the other Baseball America-anointed star up-the-middle prospects in the Angels system. Consider these numbers, all culled from the players' season at low-A Cedar Rapids, except where noted:
Sutton: 1-2, 2 BB
Collins: 2-4, 1 RBI
Toussaint: 1-4
Madrigal: 3-5, 3 RBI

*at AA Lake Elsinore
If Rodriguez earns a promotion to Rancho, he might have a solid chance to have a breakout season -- nothing Woodsian, mind you -- in the thin air and tiny ballparks of the Cal League. As I said yesterday, he's certainly proven he's got great plate discipline.

Beck: (W, 2-3) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 1.91 ERA
Trevor Bell's fourth outing, and by far his worst to date. He's not gone past two innings in any of his prior starts, though.

Cruz Chavez: (W, 3-2) (in relief), 2.2 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 4.19 ERA
What is this thing called Pete? Guys just don't do this, though he's not quite as dominant as his 0.79 ERA would indicate; his K/BB ratio is only 18/8.

You certainly have to hand Erickson some credit for trying here. A good game with a decent number of strikeouts despite the home run. Vegas is at some elevation and a hitter's park, too.
