Minor League Report for 8/15
Memphis 5 Iowa 1 - Jae Kuk Ryu (6-7) pitched 5 innings, and gave up 7 hits, 4 ER, 3 walks, and struck out 3, and took the loss for the Iowa Cubs. Ryu didn't get enough run support, as the only run came on an Augie Ojeda HR, his 3rd. Felix Pie went 0-4 with a walk, and struck out twice, while Michael Restovich and Geovanny Soto added 2 hits each. The only extra base hit came from Ryu, who had a double.
Wisconsin 6 Peoria 5 - Jesus Valdez went 4-4 at the plate raising his average 7 points to .312, and Ryan Norwood went 1-3 with a double and 2 RBIs. Scott Taylor (7-8) was the hard luck pitcher, as he pitched 5.1 IP, giving up 8 hits, 5 runs but only 2 earned, 2 walks, and struck out 7.
Boise 7 Everett 6 - Darin Downs (2-2), who is attempting a comeback, pitched his second consecutive scoreless outing, going 2 innings, striking out 2, and giving up just a hit to earn the win. At the plate, Russ Canzler didn't hit a homerun, but did go 2-3 with a walk. Tyler Colvin went 0-4, although he did drive in a run, but also was picked off. Matt Camp led off and went 1-3 with a walk and his 14th stolen base of the year in 23 attempts.
Notes: With the Diamond Jaxx and the AZL Cubs off for the night, the Daytona Cubs rained out, there's not a lot of minor league ball to talk about, so let's discuss the majors briefly. In the Cubs Blog Nation, the discussion lately has centered around Dusty Baker. With this being a minor league blog, you probably already know where my stance lies. Baker has been almost defiant about playing his youth, sometimes in spite of their success. The perfect example is Ryan Theriot who has sat on the bench the last 2 games in lieu of Neifi Perez, despite his early success at the major league level. The fact is, Baker currently has a conflict of interest, in that he is trying to save his job, while Hendry is hoping to look at the talent of "next year". If for no other reason, Hendry should go back on his promise, and show Baker the door. End Rant.; Back to a little Cubs' minor league news, it appears nearly all the teams have a shot at the playoffs.
