Week 14

3 vs PIT
3 vs BAL

League news
Stephano McDermott of the Columbus Clippers hit for the cycle on our off day. Going 4-4 with 3 RBI’s in a 6-4 Clipper win.

ORGANIZATION NEWS
Jacob Nelson, the LH SP acquired in the deal for Albert Hardin has been dealing at AA Bakersfield. 4-1 with a 2.12 ERA, he’s tossed 46.2 IP yielding 36 hits, punching out 41 and walking 24. Martin has him at 3 stars now, with potential to be a 4.5 star guy. His 11/12/9 projects to be 14/13/13 so he could be a 3-4 guy in a good rotation. On the flip side Hardin has actually been called up to the IBL’s Staten Island Yankees roster! Can’t imagine he’s near ready. He’s currently 2-19 with 8k’s for the Yanks.

DRAFT NEWS
19th round pick Julio Perez spurned our 1m signing bonus. We took a flyer late, knowing he’d be a hard sign but we’ll make one more run if the budget allows.

Game 78
14 hits will do a body good. So to does a line of 7-5-1-1-1-4 from starter Mike Davis (7-4). The walk was the leadoff hitter and the only run he allowed today. Alexander heard the grumbling I think as he went 4-5 with 3 RBI’s. Gutierrez was 3-5 with 3 runs, Lopez and Chartier (HR#9) had 2 hit days.
CHI 8 PIT 2 (36-42)

INJURY NEWS
Bartlett went down late in the game in the field and there’s been no word on the extent of the injury.

MINORS NEWS
#2 pick Raul Feliz is off to a torrid start in AA Bakersfield with a .375/.407/.708 line through his first 6 games.

Anthony Martin went 6 IP in his first professional start giving up 2 ER on 2 hits striking out 7 and walking 5.

Game 79
How about this first inning? 1B,1B,1B,HBP,1B,Grand Slam,2B,2B,F9,2B,BB,3R HR,2B,K,HBP,F8!!!!! That was the 11 run 1st inning your Chicago Iron Pigs mustered up today! Bill Flowers (4-0) got about 10 more than he needed but continued to surprise. Alexander was 2-5 with his 26th HR and 3 RBI’s (84). Brian Walker hit the 1st inning grand slam. Gutierrez had another 3 hit game going 3-5 with 2 runs scored. Chartier had a 2B and 2 3B’s in a 3-5 day.
CHI 14 PIT 2 (37-42)

INJURY NEWS
Learned after the game that Bartlett is likely sidelined at least a week with a strained oblique. Unsure if I can play short handed given how little bench I have already.

MINORS NEWS
Paul Riggs was sent back to A ball tonight. Just wasn’t seeing the same player and he needs to get back in a groove.

Game 80
Jack Jackson squanders an early 4-1 lead and struggles through 5 (5-7-6-6-4-3-) but the Iron Pigs offense battles their butts off. After Pacheco coughs up 2 van Bodegraven, Frank and Potts hold the for for Jean Chartiers walk off HR in the bottom of the 10th. Gutierrez remains hot going 3-5 with 2 runs and 2 RBI’s and stealing 2 bases (13). Walker goes 3-4 and Lopez (5) and Hudson (3) homer as well.
CHI 9 PIT 8 (38-42)

ORGANIZATION NEWS
Chip Sharpe of Tulsa went 5-6 in a 13-4 Tulsa win becoming the first player in organization history with a 5 hit game.

Game 81
Bah. Ernesto Cruz suffers his first blown save allowing 4 runs in the 9th, 3 of them unearned on a Chartier error prior to a 3R HR by Randolph Boyd. Chartier with a 3R HR (11) and Gutierrez 2-5 2B’s. Brian Walker stole 3 bases (12). Alejandrez came back to earth quickly, surrendering a 3R HR to Lando Jongmans in the 1st.
BAL 9 CHI 7 (38-43)

Game 82
Jeff Garrett (2-7) starts and loses again. 6-10-5-3-2-5 was the line with a Gutierrez error killing him. Went up 3-0 on Alexanders 27th in the 3rd but Jeff let them creep back with 1 in the 4th, 2 in the 5th and 2 in the 6th. Gutierrez remains ablaze with a 2-5 2 RBI night, Alexander was 2-5 3 RBI’s and Weaver was 3-4 with 2 runs scored. A 9th inning rally fell short.
BAL 6 CHI 5 (38-44)

JUNE RECAP
Bill Hill wins another award! Dayton CF wins PotM award hitting .388 with 11 HR’s and 33 RBI’s, scoring 31 runs as well.

And Rich Stone adds another award as well. The Fresno RF wins the CL PotM award by hitting an amazing .442!!! with 4 HR’s and 17 RBI’s for Fresno. He also scored 20 runs and posted a .500 OBP. He now sits at .397-11-55.

Dwayne Williams of the West Michigan White Caps grabs FL Pitcher of the Month for June with a 4-0 record, 2.31 ERA punching out 36 in 39 innings. Quite a feat for the 36 year old right hander.

51’s 28 year old left hander Matthew Cafasso brought in the June CL pitcher of the month after a 5-1 2.70 run, striking out 42 in 50 innings. He’s now 11-4 2.93 on the year.

Hill and Stone also captured the IBL’s Rookie of the Month awards for June.

ORGANIZATION NEWS
Ivan Rea (1 of 2 11th round picks) out of LSU went 4-5 in an Omaha win, hitting for the cycle today.
