2007-07-17: Tacoma 12, Salt Lake 6 #

Shell: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 5.71 ERA
Terry Evans busted out of a July slump in a big way with a 2-for-4 night that included a solo homer, the first of consecutive first-inning jacks against the Rainiers (Mike Eylward's was the second one). Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as Tacoma picked up seven runs in the sixth for the win. Kasey Olenberger took almost all the damage and the loss.

Stertzbach: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 K, 3 BB, 1.50 ERA
Freddy Sandoval's three-run, tenth inning jack won the game for the Travs. It unfortunately came too late for Nick Green, who got shafted with a no-decision despite pitching six innings of two-run ball. Coby Smith also had a three-run homer. Von Sterzbach got his first Texas League win of the year in his fifth appearance; it's his second time through AA, having missed 2006.

Jepsen: (S, 3), 1.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 3.22 ERA
Tim Schoeninger made his most impressive outing to date in the Cal League, coming within four outs of a complete game while striking out eight and giving up only a solo homer. Hainley Statia had his second four-hit game of the year, and Patrick Reilly homered and drove in two. Kevin Jepsen earned a 1.1 IP save thanks to Schoeninger's bequeathed two-out baserunner in the eighth.

Brasier: (L, 0-2) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 2.61 ERA
The Owlz' skid reached five straight, as Great Falls started off with a 9-0 lead mainly on an eight-run third that saw 12 White Sox come to the plate; Orem tied the game in the eight with consecutive three-run innings in the seventh and eighth, but Great Falls posted a single run on a scoring groundout in the eighth.

Reliever Brian Chambers made his first Pioneer League appearance after a promotion from the AZL, giving up an unearned run and striking out two. Ryan Brasier took the loss.

Calderon: 1.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 4.00 ERA
What does a guy have to do to get some respect around here? Scott Knazek managed a five-game hitting streak at Cedar Rapids, and then found himself demoted two levels to the complex leagues; presumably, this is part of a chain reaction that will ultimately end up with Mike Napoli being reinstated to his starting job in Anaheim.

Hull: (S, 8), 0.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 3.24 ERA
Factoid: Chin-Lung Hu has had two or more hits in all but one appearance with the Las Vegas 51's; he's got a .538/.556/1.000 line so far there (I love small sample sizes!). In today's game, he went 3-for-3 with a two-run triple. Andy LaRoche homered, his fourth in as many games, and extending a little hitting streak to four games; he has an on-base streak that dates back to June 9.

Portland only got back into this game late, as the 51's took a 4-2 lead in the first and never looked back. What's amazing is that the 51's won this game with five pitchers, four of whom had 4.65 ERAs or worse. It looks like this may have been a planned tandem start as Dwayne Pollok got only his second start of the season and went only three innings; I'm assuming Las Vegas is short on starters at the moment.

A very impressive night for Josh Bell, who clocked a pair of homers, went 4-for-5, and drove in four runs. The pitching wasn't nearly as good, as reliever Paul Coleman gave up six runs, two unearned. Lefty James Adkins made his second professional start and lasted one inning.

Keltavious Jones (what a great baseball name!) had three hits against visiting Ogden pitching on the way to beating the Raptors 7-4. Brandon Vetters went 3-for-4 and missed hitting for the cycle by a triple, smacking his second homer in as many games and his fourth for the season. Starter Michael Gardner was one run and one out away from a quality start.

Comments:
that was a jab at stephen smith who annualy seems to go public saying he's gonna have to shut down his site because of lack of funds.
from wiki - In 1987, during a fund raising drive, Roberts announced to a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would "call him home" (a euphemism for death)
stephen has good insight, but daily he seems to think he has to demonstrate his arrogance and superiority as a fan, instead of just writing about baseball.
btw, Ervin's on the way to AAA and Nap has been activated.
