Minor League Scorebook
News
- The Travs' Corey Smith and Ogden's Travis Vetters both made Offensive Player of the Week; Smith hit six homers in a four-game stretch, while Vetters was 4-for-4 Tuesday at Idaho Falls and hit a first-inning grand slam.
- A lot going on for the Angels in this week's Pitchers of the Week awards, as Rancho Cucamonga's Jordan Walden, Robert Fish at Cedar Rapids, and Orem's Jose Perez all got the nod in their respective leagues.
- John Lindsey hopes somebody
will notice the 31-year-old's hard work at AAA Las Vegas:
"Every night, I go home and I think, 'Man, I hope I did something that sparked their interest, will make them give me a shot,' " Lindsey said Sunday after Las Vegas' 8-3 loss to Sacramento at Cashman Field. "It's a cliché, but I just gotta keep working hard. I guess they stack what they want to use in the big leagues, and until something happens or a change is made, it is what it is."
- Blake DeWitt looks at his
aborted major league run as a learning experience:
"He's not in awe of anything in this game. When he put a big league uniform on, he played like a big leaguer and felt like he belonged. That's real important," 51s manager Lorenzo Bundy said. "A lot of guys go up there and get in awe of the situation, but Blake wasn't in awe. He held his own up there for quite a while."
- The Texas Rangers have shut down top pitching prospect Thomas Diamond for the balance of the season. He's 16 months away from his Tommy John surgery, and will now have bone spurs in his ankle removed.
Scores
2008-08-11: Fresno 1, Salt Lake 12 #
Coon: 4-4
Sandoval, F: 3-5, 1 RBI
Morales: 2-4, 3 RBI, 1 BB
Wood: 1-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Wilson: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Czarniecki: 3-5, 1 2B, 1 K
Alvarado, C: (W, 7-4), 5.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 3.82 ERA
Bootcheck: 1.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 3.63 ERA
I was kind of hoping this might be a rehabbing Barry Zito or some other similar arsonist on the mond for the Grizzlies, but no, it was quadruple-A hurler Steve Hammond. Bobby Wilson hit a grand slam in the first to cap scoring that frame. The Bees got four more in the eighth, two of them on a Brandon Wood homer, his fourth of the month and his 28th of the year. Wood got his dinger off Kevin Gryboski, who has at times impersonated a major league pitcher successfully, most recently with Atlanta and Washington.

Giancarlo Alvarado got his seventh win after missing his last start, and went one out from nabbing a quality start.

Bell: 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 4.54 ERA
Trevor Bell's conversion to the pen seems to be working wonderfully; as a starter, he's 5-5 with a 5.26 ERA and a 50/22 K/BB ratio, but as a reliever, he's 1-2 with a 2.45 ERA with an 18/8 K/BB ratio; he's even managed to improve his G/F ratio by over half (1.93 as a starter, 3.00 as a reliever), which bodes really well for his future success.

Sean O'Sullivan keeps racking up the wins, getting his eleventh win in his last fourteen starts, and eleven of twelve decisions in that span, during which time he has a 3.40 ERA and a 6.29 K/9, with a 2.65 K/BB and six quality starts.
Rancho pounded out a duo of three-run innings in the third and fifth, with Ryan Mount driving in two on a homer in the third, and Drew Toussaint's RBI single capping scoring in the fifth.

Blanco: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 4 K, 0 BB, 1 HR, 3.65 ERA
An eight MPH wind out to center probably helped scoring in this one, as there were several players with multi-hit games; the Angels scored in all but two frames, but there was only one homer, the first off Padre Chris Hardin's bat in the seventh. Plenty of extra-base hits, though.

Sturtze: (S, 5), 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 4.28 ERA
Eric Stults can still handle minor league batters, and he did here. The 51's held on to a 6-3 lead that the River Cats chipped away at in the seventh and ninth; the ninth was on a solo homer by Aaron Cunningham, but Tanyon Sturtze finished off the inning without further damage, a walk to Cliff Pennington notwithstanding.
