News
- No news of any import today, though I do confess I find it interesting that the reports of the Angels signing Korean prepster Young-il Jung have yet to be confirmed by the Angels.
- Today is the Futures Game, played in a USA-vs-the-world format. Nick Adenhart will provide middle relief.
Scores
2006-07-08: Sacramento 13, Salt Lake 14 #
Willits, R: 1-3, 1 RBI, 2 BB
Smith, C: 2-6, 3 RBI
Pride: 3-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB
Eylward: 1-5
Mathis, J: 2-5, 2 RBI, 1 K
Aspito: 2-3, 1 3B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 BB
Shell: 2.0 IP, 6 R, 5 ER, 6 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 4.44 ERA
Rouwenhorst: (W, 4-4) (in relief), 3.2 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 4.47 ERA
I assume Howie Kendrick didn't appear in this game because he was on his way to the Futures game. Steven Shell got shelled, giving up six runs (five earned) thanks to four consecutive hits in the second, one of which was a double. Three errors also hurt the Bees, but they turned the game around and tied it in the eighth on a Jason Aspito three-run homer, and won it on Casey Smith's walkoff RBI single in the bottom of the ninth.

Rehabbing Milton Bradley went 4-6 batting leadoff, with two home runs, one against Shell and the other against Jonathon Rouwenhorst.
2006-07-08: Arkansas 5, Wichita 4 #
Haynes: 2-4, 1 3B, 1 K
Wood: 0-3, 1 BB, 3 K
Wilson: 2-4, 2 2B, 2 RBI
Hunter: 6.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 K, 3 BB, 2 HR, 6.93 ERA
Edens: (W, 2-1) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 4.98 ERA
The Travs sighted a mythical beast they thought had been hunted to extinction in the first half: the quality start. Chris Hunter pitched a decent game despite giving up a pair of home runs. Erstwhile Kansas City starter Zach Greinke went six strong innings. The Travs won the game in the three-run ninth, when Matt Brown tripled following Brandon Wood's leadoff strikeout. An ensuing wild pitch strikeout to Terry Evans, in the thick of things as usual despite going 0-4, allowed him to get aboard safely and Brown to score. Greg Porter's single put men on first and second, and Bobby Wilson's RBI double provided the go-ahead run.

Marek: (L, 9-2), 5.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 H, 5 K, 2 BB, 2.00 ERA
A tight game with little offense on either side, the West Michigan Whitecaps and Burke Badenhop outdueled Stephen Marek.

Lots of offense here, with Orem scoring three or four runs in each of the first four frames. Rockies starter Esmil Rogers gave up eight runs, all earned, and only lasted an inning and two thirds; no Casper pitcher lasted more than two, and they used seven arms to get through the game.

P. J. Phillips had a three-run shot and 1B Robert Shankle had a solo homer. Orem starter Jeremy Haynes struck out better than a batter an inning.

Ortiz: 2-3, 1 RBI
Moore: 2-3
Jimenez: (L, 1-2), 6.0 IP, 2 R, 0 ER, 6 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 3.93 ERA
The Angels always trailed in this one as Esmerlin Jimenez posted a decent line but failed to get offensive support.

Hank Conger has a little four-game hit streak going, and has played six of his last eight games at catcher.
2006-07-08: Las Vegas 4, Tucson 8 #
Aybar: 1-4, 1 K
Loney: 2-4, 1 RBI
Young, D: 1-3, 1 RBI, 1 BB

Hamulack: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 1.80 ERA
Vegas pounced on Tucson for three in the first, but Tucson scored in every frame except the first, eighth, and ninth to grind down the 51's. That is, Harold Eckert did what he usually does; the loss was his fourth straight.

James Loney had yet another good day at the plate. It will be interesting to see whether the Dodgers decide to let Nomar go at the end of the year so that Loney can take over.

Hoorelbeke: (W, 2-2) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 1.82 ERA
I'm a freak; I actually like pitcher's duels, but on the other hand, I hate extra innings, especially when I'm at the ballpark myself. The Suns won this in the bottom of the 12th on A.J. Ellis' RBI single. Spike Lundberg, who seems to be a 2.5-A pitcher, went eight strong innings; Mark Alexander tossed another three scoreless frames along the way. Leadoff man Adam Greenberg slumped his way into a .206 line after another 0-3 performance, though he does have a .344 OBP; maybe he just isn't the same hitter anymore.

Making his AA debut, Scott Elbert helped himself with an RBI single as Jacksonville cruised to a sweep of the doubleheader in an abbreviated seven-inning game. Elbert struck out nine Mudcats, only giving up three walks and a solo homer. A six run third inning by the Suns included a pair of bases-loaded walks by Tony Abreu and Jimmy Rohan.

Norrito: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
After the way the Braves pushed around the Catfish early in the season, I get a little kick every time the Catfish beat the Braves. David Horlacher had a terrible night on the mound, giving up seven earned runs, including a scoring bases-loaded hit-by-pitch. Rome left fielder Ovandy Suero stole consecutive bases in the sixth, to no effect. The Catfish eventually overcame Rome's beatdown of Horlacher, leading 9-7 at the end of the sixth, but Rome tied it up in the seventh on Jordan Shafer's bases-loaded RBI double that plated two. Columbus won the game in the 10th with a walkoff homer by Anthony Harper.

White: (L, 1-2) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 3 BB, 4.32 ERA
It says "Chales Dasni" on his stats page, but I have a hard time believing that. However his first name might be spelled, it's hard to pitch much better than Dasni did yesterday; yet in those 12 K's, Dasni struck out the side only once, in the fourth, and even then, one came on a wild pitch that allowed Marc Maddox to reach. An RBI double by Brenan Herrera in the seventh plated the game winners for the Chukars.

Preston Mattingly is hitting .367 following this game, his fourth multi-hit in his last five. He has a eight-game hitting streak going as well, during which he's hitting .438. Not to be overlooked is Gary Paris's strong outing, with eight strikeouts over six innings.

Comments:
Regarding the Korean high school pitcher rumored to be signing with the Angels . . .
'South Korean high school pitcher Young Il Jung is close to agreeing to terms with the Angels on a signing bonus of about $1 million, making him the first Korean to sign with the organization.
'Angels scouting director Eddie Bane is in Seoul to finalize a deal with the 18-year-old right-hander, from Kwanju, that could be completed as soon as today.
'Jung, 6-foot-2, throws between 87 and 93 mph, possessing a repertoire that includes a curveball and slider.
'"This is very unusual to get a high school player out of here," Bane said by phone.
'Bane said a factor in Jung's interest in the Angels was the team's recent first-round draft selection of catcher Hank Conger, a Korean-American from Huntington Beach who has made headlines in South Korea.
'The Angels have increased their scouting in Asia since the World Baseball Classic with Charlie Kim assigned to Korea.'
