Tuesday, May 6, 2003

We put RP Denny Jennissen (29-R) on the Disabled List and we optioned C Jim Shippy (32-R) and RF Jose Julio (29-R) to Vancouver (A). We recalled RP Jim Kokos (29-R) and LF Kim Springer (22-L) and purchased the contract of C Tim Higbee (20-S).

Shippy just is not hitting a lick and Higbee has to be at least as good as Shippy has been. C Rick Mansoor, who hit so well for us last year, has hit a little bit this year, but after grounding into 1 DP in 120 AB last year, he has 4 in 46 AB this season. Springer did not set the world afire in his time in Vancouver (.208), but Carlos Lopez is doing nothing but striking out lately.

Portland Beavers (17-9 .654 in 1st place in the PCL West) at
San Diego Padres (10-15 .400 6.5 GB in 7th place in the PCL West)

POR: Steve Muir (28-R 4-1 2.29) Gold Glove(01) vs. SD: Pablo Venegas (23-R 1-1 2.87) Rookie

Muir has won 3 in a row with a 6 hit shutout his last time out.

The last time Venegas took the mound was against us almost 3 weeks ago. He has not been injured. He took the loss that day, but pitched well, holding us to 3 runs in 7 IP.

Bottom of the First:
Dick Berube swings at the first pitch and rips a line drive hit to left. He steals 2nd. At least rookie C Tim Higbee did not throw the ball into center! Rick Potter doubles to right and Berube scores. 1 to 0, Padres. All of a sudden the Padres' hapless offense is manhandling the best pitching staff in the PCL (at least statistically)....

Kim Springer pops one to shallow center and Dick Berube makes a running catch and then doubles Snowden off at 2nd... Dave Risinger grounds out to short.

Top of the Fifth:
With 1 out, Brian Mitchell grounds his 3rd hit of the day to right! It is his 10th multi-hit game in the last 11! 26 hits! .578 BA!! He gets caught stealing.... Fernando Mexicano doubles down the right field line. Glenn Snowden loops a hit to left and Mexicano scores! 3 to 1, Beavers! Kim Springer walks. Dave Risinger swings at the first pitch and lines a hit to left and Snowden scores without a throw! 4 to 1, Beavers! A.J. Lee hits the hardest ball of the inning, but lines out to 3rd.

Bottom of the Fifth:
PH Salvador Oceguera (36-R) gets beaned. Dick Berube grounds a double play ball to short, but Dave Risinger makes a bum throw to 2nd and all hands are safe... Rick Potter grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and Oceguera goes to 3rd. Pete Reid flies out to the warning track in right and Oceguera trots home. 4 to 2, Beavers. Buddy Potts doubles to center... The Bullpen is up. Norman Darcy swings at a 3-2 pitch and strikes out! First K of the day for P Steve Muir.

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Roy Huls (22-R). Jack Hinckley stays in the game to play right and Scott Plourde is in to play 3rd. Mark Coronato takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4...
