http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.js ... d=20150619
Starting pitching:
Nick Maronde 4 2/3- 3 - 1- 1- 3- 11 [pretty good return to the rotation!]
Mike Clevinger 6-4-2-2-0-8 [we got him in a minor league trade last year; looks promising]
Casey Shane 4-3-1-0-1-4
Bullpen:
C C Lee 1 2/3 0 0 0 0 3 2.49
Armstrong 2 0 0 0 0 3 8 saves
Jeff Johnson in Akron 1 0 0 0 0 1 1.69 era 10 saves
James Stokes in his 4th season with Mahoning Valley, might be a record: 2 2/3-0-1-1-6-3 control a bit off
At bat:
Aguillar 9th homer
Wolters 2nd homer
Luigi Rod 2 hits
Frazier 16th double
Zimmer walk and 27th steal
season debuts: Santander single, double, homer, walk 4 rbi; Tapia 2 singles, walk, homer
Solid looking guys who can get on base but can't drive the ball worth a darn:
Yandy Diaz with two singles for Akron is hitting 303. His OBP is a lofty 400. Slugging 359. 7 xb hits in 268 at bats
He's a 6-2 185 third baseman.
Mike Papi with a single and two walks. HIs OBP is 320, slugging 289. 14 doubles but no homers in 243 at bats for a 6-2 190 LF.

Well it was a good article.
I just had my second surgery in 8 months. Rotator cuff this time. So I am off work, and can't do anything. All I do all day is watch sports, read about sports, then come here and post about sports. I was really bored yesterday. I posted so much crap yesterday you were bound to miss some of it.

While the big team flails around, the minor leaguers do a little better:
http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.js ... d=20150620
Aguillar with another 2 hit day plus a walk. Moncrief a 3 run homer. Chisenhall ejected after arguing a called strike 3.
In relief Carlos Marmol debuts retiring 4 in a row, 3 on strikes; Austin Adams 1 2/3 scoreless, 1 hit 0 walks; CC Lee 1 inning 2 runs on a homer.
CF Jordan Smith with his 2nd homer of the year, a grand slam. Former prospect Ronnie Rodriguez 3 hits he's at 311 since return from oblivion. Ryan Merritt a future-former prospect, 7 innings, 7 runs on 12 hits.
doubleheader split for Lynchburg. Game 1, Mitch brown doesn't out of the first, 4 runs on 5 hits, ERA up to 5.85.
Game 2, Luis Lugo battles control in 5 shutout innings: 5-1-0-0-4-4
Luigi Rodriguez with 2 hits in each game, including his 5th triple, a walk and his 16th steal. Zimmer 2 hits in game 2, sits out the opener, steals his 28th. Frazier with a double. Levon Washington finally appears in a game, he walks twice. He has never appeared in more than 79 games of an injury-filled career.
Bobby Bradley goes small ball, 3 singles, no strikeouts. Francisco Mejia with his 6th homer and a single. Paulino 2 singles.
Another poor start, this one by Sean Brady: 6-9-6-6-0-7 2 homers,a though 5 of the runs all came in his last inning, so maybe he just ran out of gas.
Arizona team debuts with 10-8 win. Starter Micah Minard a 6-7 195 RH was fine: 5-2-0-0-2-3. Jose Rodriguez not so fine: 1 2/3-7-8-8-1-3
New names to follow for the offense: 2nd baseman Miguel Eladio, doubled and homered. RF Jose Medina 2 singles and a double. basestealing star Gabriel Mejia singled, sacrificed, and stole one base. returning defensive ace Alexis Pantoja, a SS, was 3-3 one a double and a walk

Speaking of his tools, Zimmer's 27 steals leads the organization. I think the next highest is Greg Allen with 20.
Don't want to even talk about Bourn.

Columbus picks up some oldtimer to sub for Anderson in the rotation. Good relief by:
Tyler Sturdevant, back from drug use suspension, fans 3 in 1 2/3. Soto fans 3 in 1 1/3. Armstrong 2 in his 1 inning.
Jose Ramirez 3 hits, Chisenhall 2, Holt 2 doubles, Ramsey single and homer, Moncrief homer.
Akron drops 2 games. Plutko had a 6-inning shutout in the opener but surrendered a 3 run homer in the 7th. Gonzalez 2 hits in the opener, none and an error in the nightcap. Ronnie Rodriguez homered and singled and is hitting 327.
Zimmer out for Lynchburg. Luigi Rodriguez with his 6th triple and a single. Kime mediocre as usual: 5-8-3-3-3-3
Mejia 2 hits in Captains' loss.
Scrappers drop 2 games. Tom and Mathias debut hitless in game 2. Santander with his 2nd homer, .417 in 3 games. Willi Castro 2 hits in each game, .385 in 3 games. Tapia a couple hits in the opener.
Cuban RH Leandro Linares: 4-1-1-1-6-3

Monday in the Minors:
CLE AAA Naquin, Tyler CF 5 2 2 1 .265 2B (3) [he always debuts at a new level very well and slides down for awhile]
CLE AAA Ramsey, James LF 4 0 1 0 .250
CLE MAJ Lindor, Francisco SS 3 0 1 0 .200
CLE MAJ Perez, Roberto C 3 2 2 1 .210 2B (3), HR (5), BB (23)
Also, Anthony Santander hit his 2nd and 3rd doubles, and his 3rd homer, adding in a single for the Scrappers. I wish he would stay healthy. He has a lot of promise. So far his career consists of lots of half-seasons. The last two were in Lake County so he's actually now at what probably qualifies as a lower level, although there often are more college pitchers here than in the Midwest League.
Meanwhile for the Scrappers, 18-year-old SS Willi Castro with another 2 hit game; catcher Li-Jen Chu had a single and double; 2015 draftees Mathias and Tom each with a pair of hits; ditto for 4th year OF D'vone McClure.
Slow-developing pitcher Kieran Lovegrove debuts with a pretty lousy line: 4-5-6-5-3-4
Ambidextrous Ryan Perez also debuts with a lousy game, 3 runs in 1 1/3 innings. Box doesn't identify which arm he used.
