Today is Bill Grant's 33rd and Dale Gilchrist's 25th birthdays!

We are in Orlando to play our in state rivals a 3 game series. The Juice were swept in 3 games at Birmingham over the weekend and were swept in 4 games by Syracuse before that. They were the hottest team in the League in July. We are 3-4 against them on the season and this is our first visit to the Magic Kingdom. They are 3rd in scoring with 4.40 runs per game and are only 4 runs behind Birmingham, the current leader (Jacksonville is #6 with 4.06). They are 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.38 per game (Jacksonville is #9 with 3.98). Their run differential is +2 and ours is +10, tied for 7th best!

Jacksonville Jays (63-60 .512 6 GB in 5th place in the Southern Division) at
Orlando Juice (61-63 .492 8.5 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Jim Baucom (22-L) (13-5 1.84 ERA 195.1 IP, 158 H, 5 HR, 37 BB, 155 SO) All-Star(2: 02-03) vs.
ORL: Manny Martinez (31-R) (7-8 3.13 ERA 132.1 IP, 123 H, 8 HR, 31 BB, 104 SO)

Baucom pitched a 7 hit shutout with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts last time out. He threw 122 pitches, so we would love to have him take it much easier today.

Martinez, the ex-Jay, has made 2 starts against us this season and only allowed 1 run, but only pitched 4 innings, because he got hurt in both games. He is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA. 4 IP, 3 H, 0 HR, 1 BB, 1 SO.
