Future Redbirds

Memphis 2, Round Rock 3

• Mike McCoy draws the only walk.
• Edgar Gonzalez had the only extra base hit - a double.
• The Redbirds totaled 5 baserunners in 9 IP.
• Mike Parisi was solid going 8 innings allowing 3ER. He struck out 2 against 2 walks and 7 hits.

Springfield 6, Midland 3

• Colby Rasmus appears to be all better. 2-for-4 with a walk and a SB.
• Jarrett Hoffpauir is begging for a promotion. He goes 2-for-3 with a double and 2 walks. He also stole a base tonight.
• Juan Richardson and Mark Hamilton both went yard.
• Cory Rauschenberger went 5.1 innings allowing 2 ER.
• Matthew Scherer had a crappy outing. He didn’t allow an earned run but he did allow 2 of 3 inherited runners to score via a walk and a single striking out just 1 batter. If I were the Tigers, Scherer would be one of the prospects I would have targeted in the Maroth deal — not really a big name in the Cardinals farm system he’s still had excellent results as a reliever.
• Jason Motte allowed an unearned run and a hit in an inning of work.
• Chris Perez picked up his 20th save with a scoreless inning. Unfortunately, he walked two batters in the process.

Palm Beach 8, Sarasota 1

• Jon Jay goes 2-for-5 with a HR.
• Nathan Southard went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles.
• Allen Craig continues his hot hitting June with a HR and a walk in 4 plate appearances. He was also HBP.
• P.J. Walters is pitching like a madman in High-A. In two starts, he’s thrown 15 innings, allowing 2 earned runs on solo homeruns, 8 hits, walked 3 and struck out an eye-popping 18! He’s won both games at Palm Beach.
• Michael Cooper finished off the 9th allowing an earned run. He’s stunk at PB as much as he did in SPR.

Quad Cities 1, Clinton 4

• Christian Reyes went deep for the Swing’s only run.
• Chris Grossman drew the only walk for QC.
• Tim Dorn and Jared Schweitzer each had 3K games.
• Shaun Garceau got roughed up. 4 ER on 5 hits and 3 walks. 2 HRs allowed will do that to you.
• Eddie Degerman does not belong in Low-A. In 3.2 innings, he struck out 7 and walked 2 allowing 1 hit. Repeat, Degerman does not belong in Low-A.

Batavia 6, State College 10

• Steve Hill went 2-for-3 with 2 walks.
• Oliver Marmol and Antonio DeJesus also drew a pair of walks.
• David Kopp struck out 3 in 2 innings on 2 hits. . .
• . . .a whole bunch of pitchers got lit up in the middle innings. . .
• . . .and Josh Fritsche stopped the bleeding with 2 scoreless innings.

Johnson City 3, Burlington 2

• 1B Charlie Pelt hit a HR.
• JC had 5 errors in this game. Dognnt had his 6th of the season (the season started a mere 9 days ago).
• Jose Arrendondo struck out 5 in 5 scoreless innings.
• Nicholas Additon did his best to blow the game walking 3 and allowing an earned run before being pulled.
• LaCurtis Mayes managed to strand all 3 inherited runners from Additon.
• Pete Parise struck out 2 in 1.2 innings allowing just a hit.

Looks like the GCL Cardinals got rained out against he GCL Mets.

Apparently, it’s difficult to get the box score up for these GCL teams.  I didn’t post until after mindnight and the game still wasn’t up.  Maybe they think no one cares, but damnit I care.  And commenter FGC cares as he points out that the GCL Cardinals weren’t rained out. 

GCL Cardinals 1, GCL Mets 4

• 3B Arnoldi Cruz recorded the only hit for the Cardinals.
• They did manage to draw 6 walks which is quite nice but you still have to hit the bloody ball.
• The pitchers put up some really boring box scores.  Fabian Marquez was fine as a starter going 4 innings allowing 1 run.  Pablo Ortiz pitched the ninth allowing 1 hit and a walk while striking out 1.  Yawn.
