Future Redbirds

I’ve been on the go since 6am this morning and I’m beat. Let’s do this quickie style tonight.

Chris Lambert is still a terrible pitcher. Springfield plays a game and a half. Eddie Degerman impresses although he still lacks command. It’s a short but sweet Daily Prospect Report.

Memphis 7, Iowa 6

• Skip Schumaker and Edgar Gonzalez both collected 2 hits. Gonzalez hit a pair of doubles.
• Joe Mather goes 2-for-4 with a HR and a walk.
• C Matt Pagnozzi goes 2-for-4 with a double and a HR.
• Chris Lambert bombed in his start allowing 10 hits in 3 innings for 6 runs (5 earned).
• After 4 middle relievers, Chris Perez came in to close out the game with a scoreless inning and 2 Ks.

Springfield 2, Corpus Cristi 3 (13 innings)

• Colby Rasmus went 2-for-6 with a double.
• Cody Haerther went 1-for-3 with a double and a pair of BBs.
• Amaury Cazana Marti went 1-for-5 with a HR.
• Cory Rauschenberger went 6.1 innings allowing 6 hits, 2 BBs and 1 K for 2 ER.
• Mike Sillman threw 2 innings striking out 2.
• Nick Webber takes the loss with an ugly box score. In 2.2 innings he walked 4 and allowed 2 hits while striking out just 1. We’ve seen better from Webber and it cost Springfield the game as their slide continues. In August they’ve won just 5 of 15 games. Only 2 of those 5 wins have been by more than 3 runs. Just an ugly stretch for the Double A team.

Palm Beach 9, Daytona 2

• Mark Shorey went 1-for-2 with a HR and a pair of walks.
• AJ Van Slyke and Brandon Yarbrough both had a pair of singles.
• The Palm Beach squad collected 8 walks and only struck out 4 times.
• Eddie Degerman had a great outing striking out 7 batters across 7 innings. He walked 4 (boo!) but only allowed 2 hits and had a 8-6 GO-AO ratio. He’s going to lose the strike zone from time to time but when he’s good, he can be very good.

Quad Cities 2, Burlington 4

• Steve Hill goes 1-for-3 with a walk.
• Jaime Landin goes 2-for-4.
• Elvis Hernandez wasn’t at his best tonight allowing 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks.
• The QC offense struck out 12 times against 1 walk. That’s sad.

Batavia 1, Auburn 2

• Andrew Brown went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk.
• After reaching on an error, Tommy Pham stole his 13th base.
• Brandon Garner allowed 2 runs on 5 hits against 2 K. He only allowed 1 extra base hit (a double) so the opposition strung together some slap singles to get the win.
• Jonathan Stambaugh struck out 4 in 4 innings against 1 BB and 2 hits.

Johnson City 7, Kingsport 8

• 3B Nicholas Vera went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk. He was also CS twice.
• Joseph Hage went 2-for-4.
• 1B Matthew Arburr went yard.
• Jose Mateo started and struck out 3 in 5 innings allowing 1 run on 4 hits.

GCL Cardinals had the night off.
