We decided to give P Mike Gaddis (32-R) at least one more start after his stellar performance yesterday, so we sent P Mike Hasley (25-R) back to Daytona (A) and recalled RF Dennis Brown (27-L). It has not been 10 days since he was demoted, but we have placed a player on the DL since, so we can recall him without issue. We cannot recall LF Barry Laskowski (34-R), however, which is what we would prefer. The plan is to recall Laskowski when his time is served and send Brown back to the Tortugas.

The Louisville Colonels are here to play a short 2 game set. They swept Richmond in 3 games at home over the weekend and have won 8 of their last 10. We lost a pair of games to them here, April 16-17. They are last in scoring with 3.46 runs per game (Jacksonville is #15 with 3.52). We have both scored the same number of runs, but they have played 1 game more. They play in the best pitcher's park in the League, however, and we play in a decent hitters park. The Colonels are 9th in fewest runs allowed with 3.88 per game (Jacksonville is #15 with 5.04). Their run differential is -24 and ours is -85.

Louisville Colonels (31-26 .544 3 GB in 3rd place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (20-36 .357 13.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)

LOU: Carlos Santiago (23-L) (2-5 3.46 ERA 80.2 IP, 82 H, 7 HR, 32 BB, 40 SO) Rookie vs.
JAX: Victor Espinoza (36-R) (5-4 2.00 ERA 76.1 IP, 62 H, 2 HR, 24 BB, 55 SO)

Santiago is their #1 starter. We have not faced him, but he is a #1 starter and a lefty, so we know what that means... He is 0-3 in his last 4 starts. He allowed 5 runs on 10 hits and 3 walks with 1 strikeout in 5.2 IP last time out, but escaped with a no decision. I am sure the Jays are just what the doctor has ordered to fix all his recent issues.

Espinoza pitched 6 shutout innings las time out and got a win, but was thwarted by the weather and his lack of control from getting a chance at a shutout.
