Covering My First Minor League Baseball Game - 27 Outs Baseball MiLB

I'll be back at Raley Field on Sunday and Monday
-See Gregorio again on Sunday
-Ryu vs. Blackburn on Monday

Could be a trial run for Cain's spot. Might even be one of them get's scratched because they are recalled.

Keep up the good work!

Great job GPC, except you forgot the paragraph thanking all your fellow posters over here into shaping the writer you are today!

He has gone totally big time. His articles all center on him and he has already forgotten all the little people he stepped on on his way to the top.

Just another sell-out that is leaving the 'hood behind.

[calsnowskier]

I have given up on Crick. He has not had a good outing in a couple years now (at least). He gives up 9 hits in 5.2 and that is supposed to be a good outing?

Next.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Really becoming more impressed with Gregorio, granted just two starts.
Had 8 K's through four innings today, seven of them swinging.

The FB (sits around 92-94 MPH) paired with the wicked slider gave Colorado Springs and OKC fits (including MIL No.1 prospect Orlando Arcia and Dodgers OF Scott Van Slyke).

Control is still a bit of a problem, was so more early today. Two of the runs Gregorio allowed came off an RBI triple by the Dodgers pitcher (pitcher scored on error by Pena). The pitcher also had a leadoff single in the fifth.

Control and repeating his delivery (probably a correlation there) is going to be the difference between starting and relieving for him. His ridiculous length is part of the problem, this guy should be a basketball player. His stuff can play at the majors though. I'm excited for him.

For Fuck's Sake, can someone, ANYONE, teach Fargas how to swipe a fucking bag?!? Kid's supposed to have crazy speed but he's a half wit on the base paths.

Gary Brown had similar issues. And KT, while possessing blazing speed, is not much of a base stealer.

We all know stealing bases is not an organizational focus, but they do make a point of drafting speedy middle infielders. You would think they would add this ol to the organizational cylibus just because it meshes well with the organizational toolset.

He has 11 steals this season

And has been caught 9 times

That just means he'll fit right in to the big league team. Aren't most of the devastating hits by opponents from their starting pitcher or light hitting catcher (or backup catcher)?

Mejia is COMING....

Coonrod with a gem in San Jose.

Bickford pitching really well in Augusta (though has given up a run through 4 innings)

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Back from another game, took a stab at doing photos for first time (When I say first time, I literally mean one of my first times taking photos with a nice camera of something live-action)

Blackburn, you saw the numbers. Two straight strong starts, had everything working once again, a flamethrower he is not but he got seven groundouts, missed bats. Had two pretty hard hit balls that carried to the warning track but that's the closest he came to a big mistake.

Gorky has reached base in nine straight games by walk/hit. Six SB's over that time. Starting to see him use the bunt/infield hit more.

I'll be back at RF on Saturday, likely see Blackburn again (doubling up on Gregorio/Blackburn)



P.S. Giants, please send Mejia to Sacramento, I'm ready to go see him.

 

[LHG]

I would like to see both Mejia and Rogers promoted to Sacramento and Coonrod and Martinez taking their place in Richmond.
