Minor League Scorebook
News
- South won the Texas League All-Star Game 5-4 thanks to Jonny Ash's line drive to center. Ash, the starting second baseman for host Corpus Christi, drove in the game winner in the bottom of the 10th. The Travs' Adam Morrissey hit a solo homer in the fourth, and Sean Rodriguez hit a leadoff double in the top of the 10th, but reliever Ryan Mattheus couldn't hold the lead and gave up two in the bottom of the frame.
- The Angels have disabled three players on the Cedar Rapids roster: C Jon Hodach (concussion, ankle sprain), INF Ryan Mount (strained quad), and RHP Aaron Cook (undisclosed injury). LHP Kelly Shearer will replace Cook on the roster from extended spring training, and INF Tadd Brewer and C Brian Walker move up from Orem. Cedar Rapids currently has nine players on the DL.
- ASU shortstop and fifth-round pick Shane Romine signed with the Angels for $125,000.
- Update: I have added a couple of names to the watch list at the suggestion of the Chronicler, Young-Il Jung and Darren O'Day. O'Day is a bit older than his peers, and so he dominated at Rancho; we want to see him repeat that success over an extended period at Arkansas before we give get too excited. I'm also on the edge of adding Tim Schoeninger to the list, as well.

Liriano: (W, 2-9), 5.2 IP, 4 R, 4 ER, 6 H, 0 K, 3 BB, 1 HR, 5.94 ERA
Including this game, Brandon Wood has a .326/.392/.663 line in June with 30 hits, 15 of which were for extra bases, and a 20:10 K:BB ratio. In fact, he has had
- no strikeouts over his last 11 at bats
- only two strikeouts in his last nine games
- an on-base streak that dates back to June 4
In a similar vein, Jeff Mathis is doing better, with a .276/.329/.480 June in which 8 of his 20 hits went for extra bases. Here's the interesting bit, which you may or may not want to throw under the "Small Sample Size" bus: 13:7 K:BB ratio.
As for this game, Matt Brown blasted two two-run homers and had another hit besides. The Angels continue to confound me by playing Mike Eylward at first and newly promoted Greg Porter — 2-for-5 on the night, and scoring a pair — in right, and batting cleanup. Nick Gorneault collected his tenth dinger of the year, a three-run shot in the fourth.
A shout-out to wumbug in the comments here and there for giving me impetus to review some of these numbers.

Browning: (W, 5-2) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 3.35 ERA
Starter Sean O'Sullivan cruised through five scoreless innings, facing one over the minimum and that thanks to a P.J. Phillips error. Then he gave up a leadoff walk to Allan De San Miguel, and things went downhill from there, getting charged with all four runs while retiring none in the fifth. One of those he left on base scored on reliever Barret Browning's wild pitch, so don't take Browning's pitching line too seriously.

Fortunately for him, Matt Sweeney's eighth inning two-run jack erased the temporary 4-3 deficit, and put the Kernels ahead for good. Bobby Cassevah struck out two in a scoreless ninth to finish the game.
2007-06-26: Orem 10, Ogden 7 #
Gronkowski: 2-5, 2 K
Garcia: 3-4, 1 2B, 1 K
Moore: 1-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB
Pippin: 2-5, 1 RBI, 2 K
Dini: 2-5, 1 3B, 4 RBI
Walden: 2.2 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 4 BB, 1 HR, 4.76 ERA
Hurst: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 3.1 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 3.68 ERA
Jimenez: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 2.45 ERA
Round 2: Orem stomps all over Ogden, though to my knowledge no folding chairs were used. Instead, a four-run second and a three-run fifth did most of the damage, abetted by a two-run triple by Gregory Dini (who ultimately plated four), a bases-loaded walk by Jeremy Moore, and a third-inning error by Ogden second baseman Elian Herrera. Moore drove in another run in the top of the ninth with a leadoff homer.

Jordan Walden got the start and only went 2.2 inning; David Hurst got the win in relief. Milan Dinga pitched a scoreless ninth to finish the game.
2007-06-26: AZL Rangers 5, AZL Angels 9 #
Ortiz, N: 2-5, 1 RBI, 2 K
Loman: 2-2, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 2 BB
Castillo: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Norman: 3-5

Mendoza: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 5.0 IP, 3 R, 0 ER, 5 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 0.00 ERA
Some people were asking about Tommy Mendoza at Halos Heaven the other day; well, here he is again, makng a five-inning relief appearance following Justin Speier's second appearance at this level. I had to blink because there were so many unearned runs in this game. In fact, all the runs against the Angels save for two were unearned thanks to five Angels errors, sometimes multiple ones in the same play. For example, in the top of the seventh, Donnie Ecker reached on Ivan Contreras' fielding error, and then Contreras threw wildly to allow Michael Ortiz to score.
Loman: 2-2, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 2 BB

First baseman Seth Loman drove in three of the Angels' nine runs, including the two in the bottom of the sixth that won the game.

Hoorelbeke: (S, 1), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 5.36 ERA
John Lindsey's hit four homers since coming up to AAA, and while he isn't going to get a chance with the Dodgers, you have to admire it. This one was a two-run blast in the fourth that temporarily gave the 51's the lead; Ben Davis's homer in the top of the ninth won it. Choo Freeman also homered, a solo shot in the fifth.

Major league veteran Chris Fussell made his second appearance of the year with the 51's, and Casey Hoorelbeke got his first save of the season.

Wilson: (S, 6), 1.1 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 0.45 ERA
The 66ers stomped on the Giants starting with a four-run first and never looked back. Lucas May hit a two-out, three-run jack in the bottom of the first to cap scoring in that frame, and Inland Empire got the game winning hit the very next frame with Blake Dewitt's double.
