We are back in Jacksonville for the next 10 days and hopefully can climb out of the cellar during this home stand. First up is the 2nd place Louisville Colonels for a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 3 of 5 games in Columbus and have played 9 games in the last 8 days, so hopefully we can catch some winded pitchers. We are 2-4 against them this season and lost a pair of games to them the last time they were here, May 14 and 15. They are 13th in the League in scoring with 3.75 runs per game (Jacksonville is 15th with 3.67). The Colonels are 1st in fewest runs allowed with 3.30 per game (The Jays are 9th with 4.21). Their run differential is +43 and ours is -52, 2nd worst in the League, though still twice as good as Providence (-110).

Jacobus' last outing was an inning in the American Association (AAA) All-Star Game 10 days ago. In his last start for the Jays, he gave up 4 runs and 9 hits to Orlando in 6 innings in a no decision. For Daytona Beach, he was 6-1 with a 2.12 ERA.

We had 8 hits and made no errors
New Orleans had 12 hits and made no errors

Dale Gerace (L 1-4) went 6 innings, allowed 2 runs, 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. He threw a WP. At bat, he had a hit and our RBI. He broke the string of 12 straight games with our starting pitcher striking out 2 or fewer batters. He is safe from demotion for one more start.
LHP Cody Shaw went 2 innings, allowed 4 runs, 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 1.

Ron Charalambous (W 1-0) went 9 innings (CG), gave us 1 run, 8 hits, 4 walks and struck out 3. 102 pitches.

SS Ryan Farmer hit a double. 2B Marcus Ferguson had 2 hits and a walk. RF Kurt Reuter hit a double, drew a walk and scored our only run. PH Nelson Carrasco drew a walk.

For New Orleans, 1B Ryan Girard had 3 hits with a double and 3 RBI. C Danny Macias had 3 hits with 2 doubles, scored a run and had an RBI.

Trudy's report on RP Cody Shaw is a herniated disc and she expects it to take 5 or 6 days to heal.

Bobby Sladek, in his season debut, went 6 innings, allowed 3 runs, 5 hits, 1 home run, 3 walks (1 INT) and struck out 2. He balked.

Good! I balked when I saw that line that's dismal even for A-ball!

How he got that ERA is beyond me.

We cannot afford to go 5 or 6 days with a 4 man Bullpen with our Starters being so dreary and I do not want to put RP Cody Shaw on the DL, but we need another arm up here. So we sent C Nick Witherspoon (27-R) back to Daytona Beach (A) and called up RP Adrian Myers (22-L), the #10 prospect. Batters are hitting .169 against him in A Ball and he is striking out 10.9 batters per 9 innings. Unfortunately, he is also walking 6.2...

Jacksonville Jays (48-59 .449 15 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
New Orleans Pelicans (51-56 .477 12 GB in 4th place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Walt Urbanski (30-R 6-9 4.04 ERA 136 IP, 143 H, 5 HR, 50 BB, 56 SO) vs.
NO: Jason Emerson (25-R 10-8 3.03 ERA 157.1 IP, 157 H, 8 HR, 35 BB, 90 SO)

Urbanski has been shelled in his last two starts, allowing 12 runs (11 earned) in 8.1 IP with 18 H allowed. But he escaped each time with a no decision.

We have faced Emerson twice and hit him well both times, but we has a win and a no decision.

Friday, August 3, 2001

On our off day yesterday, we sent two players down to Daytona Beach (A): 3B Jamie Stelter (28-L) and CF Jamie Payne (30-R). We called up 3B Sam Dickson (31-R) and LF Alejandro Franco (28-R). Dickson started out the season as our 3rd baseman, but only hit .182 in 14 games. Franco has never before appeared in the Major Leagues. He was hitting .278 with .721 OPS for Daytona Beach (A).

We are back home to play the Richmond Robins a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 2 of 3 in Memphis. We are 2-4 against them on the season and lost a pair of games the last time they were here, June 19-20. We did not score a run in either game. The Robins are 15th in scoring with 3.70 runs per game (Jacksonville is #12 with 3.90). They are 8th in fewest runs allowed with 4.16 per game (Jacksonville is #12 with 4.40). Their run differential is -49 and ours is -54. There are 8 teams in the Millennial League with negative run differentials and 6 of them are in our Southern Division.

Questdog Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: In a dark, damp cave where I'm training slugs to run the bases...... Posts: 16,142	Friday, July 20, 2001 We are back in Jacksonville for the next 10 days and hopefully can climb out of the cellar during this home stand. First up is the 2nd place Louisville Colonels for a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 3 of 5 games in Columbus and have played 9 games in the last 8 days, so hopefully we can catch some winded pitchers. We are 2-4 against them this season and lost a pair of games to them the last time they were here, May 14 and 15. They are 13th in the League in scoring with 3.75 runs per game (Jacksonville is 15th with 3.67). The Colonels are 1st in fewest runs allowed with 3.30 per game (The Jays are 9th with 4.21). Their run differential is +43 and ours is -52, 2nd worst in the League, though still twice as good as Providence (-110). Louisville Colonels (53-43 .552 3 GB in 2nd place in the Southern Division) at Jacksonville Jays (43-53 .448 13 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) LOU: Ramon Hinojosa (27-R 2-7 6.08 ERA 74 IP, 81 H, 4 HR, 30 BB, 39 SO) vs. JAX: Cody Jacobus (29-L 1-1 4.83 ERA 31.2 IP, 35 H, 6 HR, 14 BB, 13 SO) We scored 5 runs in 8 innings off Hinojosa back in April, bit that was one of his 2 wins. He is pitching on short rest today. Jacobus' last outing was an inning in the American Association (AAA) All-Star Game 10 days ago. In his last start for the Jays, he gave up 4 runs and 9 hits to Orlando in 6 innings in a no decision. For Daytona Beach, he was 6-1 with a 2.12 ERA.

Posts: 16,142	Friday, August 3, 2001 On our off day yesterday, we sent two players down to Daytona Beach (A): 3B Jamie Stelter (28-L) and CF Jamie Payne (30-R). We called up 3B Sam Dickson (31-R) and LF Alejandro Franco (28-R). Dickson started out the season as our 3rd baseman, but only hit .182 in 14 games. Franco has never before appeared in the Major Leagues. He was hitting .278 with .721 OPS for Daytona Beach (A). We are back home to play the Richmond Robins a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 2 of 3 in Memphis. We are 2-4 against them on the season and lost a pair of games the last time they were here, June 19-20. We did not score a run in either game. The Robins are 15th in scoring with 3.70 runs per game (Jacksonville is #12 with 3.90). They are 8th in fewest runs allowed with 4.16 per game (Jacksonville is #12 with 4.40). Their run differential is -49 and ours is -54. There are 8 teams in the Millennial League with negative run differentials and 6 of them are in our Southern Division.
