Break out the champagne! Alexis Rios had four hits; Josh Banks had eleven strikeouts and the organization had a winning night.


Richmond 4 Syracuse 9

Syracuse entered this game on a four game losing streak, and having won only two of their last fourteen games. Josh Towers was asked to stop the bleeding. Towers went six scoreless innings and left with a two run lead. In the fourth Rios doubled and scored on a single by the newest Chief Marvin Benard. Gabe Gross was back in the lineup after elbow problems and he singled to drive in Benard.

Mike Smith started the seventh in relief and promptly allowed Richmond to tie the game. But the Chiefs got it right back in the bottom of the inning. Russ Adams doubled, Shawn Fagan walked and Glenn Williams tripled them both home. Howie Clark drove in Williams to make it 5-2. Smith and Bob File gave one back in the eighth but Benard hit a three run home run in the eighth to seal the win.

Benard was 2-5 with four RBI's on his Chiefs debut. Gabe Gross 1-3 with a walk. Russ Adams was 2-5 with a double. Rios went 4-5 with a double. Last night on the Fan JP said that Jorge Sequea has a pulled quad and will be out for three weeks.

Game Story


Reading 3 New Hampshire 2

Cam Reimers started for the Cats coming off four straight quality starts. He delivered another quality start last night but it was not enough to get the win. Reimers allowed three runs in seven innings on nine hits and no walks. Reimers had only one strikeout. Reimers left after seven with the Cats trailing 3-0. NH had some chances early. They had a runner on third in each of the first three ininngs but could not get one in. In the first Tyrell Godwin was caught stealing and that was big when Dominic Rich tripled right after.

New Hampshire did score two in the eighth. Godwin tripled and Danny Solano hit a home run. Stubby Clapp had a pinch hit double with two out in the ninth but again the Cats could not capitalize.

Godwin was 3-4 with the triple, Aaron Hill was 0-4, Rich 2-4 with a double and a triple.

Game Story


Dunedin 5 Sarasota 1

Josh Banks brought the hammer last night. Banks went six innings and allowed three hits with no walks and eleven K's. Banks did allow the first run on a double, a wild pitch and a passed ball. That was the last time Sarasota were in the game. In the third Dunedin tied the game when Jayce Tingler scored on a sac fly from Vito. In the fourth Dunedin capitalized on three hits and three walks to score three runs. After that it was cruise control for Dunedin. Tracy Thorpe pitched two perfect innings and Buzachero pitched the ninth.

Interesting pitching choices for tonight: Josue Matos comes out of the bullpen to get the start for Syracuse at 7 against Richmond. Francisco Rosario gets his second double A start for NH at 6 against Reading. Jamie Vermilyea comes out of the bullpen again for Dunedin at 7 against Sarasota. TBA (I think it's Marcum's turn) gets the start for Charleston against Lake County against 6.

The Syracuse, NH and Charleston (via the Lake County broadcast) are on internet radio.

During the TSN broadcast last night, Pat Tabler asked how Quiroz was doing in AAA. Ricciardi answered - "Well, he's got a broken hand."

Has that hindered his throwing then? He can still swing a bat though right? I mean he played with half a lung last year.

Anything new on Chris Leonard? Was he not drafted with a bad elbow nearly 2 years ago now? His surgery must have been well before Rosario's but still no sign of him.

Meto I heard the Chris Leonard had recovered from his Tommy John sugery and was in the Jays extended spring training and would eventually pitch some time soon for the Dunedin Bluejays. I heard this news amost a month ago now so I don't know if Leonard is having any more problems

_goatboy - Wednesday, May 19 2004 @ 04:38 PM EDT (#64690) #
For anybody who doesn't know Chris Leonard was a possible first round draft choice intill he hurt his elbow just prior to the 2002 draft. The Jays took a flyer on him and chose him in the 8th round. It's been 2 years since he had the Tommy John surgery and he still has not thrown a pitch in other than on the side, which I think leaves room for real concern, after all not every body comes back after they have had Tommy John surgery. I beleive the recovery rate is somewhere between 80 and 85%.

I'll do a bit of the NH game. Gavin Floyd hurling for Reading in the bottom of the second.

Aaron Hill struck out, 5 up and 5 down for the F-Cats. Stubby Clapp hit a long fly to the wall in right that was caught.

0-0 after 2.

Top of 3:

Rosario pitching for the F-Cats.

Ruiz grounds out to Rosario. Youngbauer lines a single to right. Gonzalez strikes out (Rosario's 4th K). Deschaine grounds into a 6-4 fielder's choice.

Trivia question:

What does Harvey Haddix have to do with the topic of "perfect games"?

(I remembered, but then I am old)

Re: Bobby Estella

I'm glad to see the bluejays are starting to address the lack of offence on Syarcuse with the signings of Estella and Marvin Benard . To expect Rios, Quiroz, Adams and Gross to carry that team straight out of double A was prehaps unrealistic.

Bottom of 3:

Jova (on a 12 game hitting streak)grounds out to short. Umbria grounds out to second. Justin Singleton walks. Floyd has a good pick-off move, and he keeps him close. Godwin strikes out.

0-0 after 3.

Helluva pitching duel. I can do the next 1/2 inning max. Anybody able to take over.

Chiefs get a run against Richmond in the bottom of the second on a RBI double by Gross.

1-1 after two innings.

Rosario starts the fifth. Cats broadcasters speculate that it's his last inning due to pitch count issues (about 75 is the limit they're looking at). Lineout, lined single, grounder forces the runner at 2nd. Lined through the hole resulting from a hit and run. First and third, 2 out. Fly LF. Inning over and that should be it for Rosario; 5 IP 4 hits, 5 K.

Top 3rd - AAA:

Matos pitching, Jurries singles to left.
Velandia drives it to the track in right-centre, Rios makes the catch. Tyner singles to right and Jurries advances to third base.
Orr grounds to Adams, who throws the ball over Fagan's head (Tyner to third). A run scores, 2-1 Richmond and still one out.
A wild pitch then scores Tyner. Orr is on second now and Langerhans is the batter.
A single to centre field scores Orr from second. 4-1 for the Braves.
Arnsberg visits the mound. Hessman, who homered in the second, is batting.
Yet another wild pitch moves Langerhans to second. A grounder to third, the throw from Williams is lost in the sun by Fagan. E-3. Lagnerhans scores from second and Hessman is now on first. 5-1.
Thomas batting. He hits it to left. Guiel cuts it off and Hessman has to stop at third.
Fly ball to right field. Sac fly, in fact, and 6-1 as Hessman scores. Two outs, runner on second.
Ninth batter of the inning up in Lee Evans. Fly ball to Rios and he catches it.

Five runs, four hits for Richmond. Two errors, Fagan and Adams.
6-1 after two and a half.
Almost every at bat was only one pitch long: a delight to type along to.

Houston continues his strikeout streak - punching out #4 to start the top of the 7th. A 2-2 called third strike makes in 5 in a row. A 1-2 swing and a miss and it's SIX straight K's for Houston. Carl Hubbell, look out!

Bottom 7th: Logan hits a foul pop to the catcher. Hill lines a shot to centre but it's an at'em ball. Clapp strikeout.

Gavin Floyd has a no-no through 7, but he's approaching 100 pitches.

As far as I can tell, the Chiefs' lineup tonight is Adams 6, Fagan 3, Rios 9, Bernard, Williams 6, Clark 4, Gross DH, Guiel, Chiaffredo 2.

Bottom 3rd - AAA:

Chiaffredo singles.
Adams singles through the right side. First and second.
Wild pitch, runners advance.
Fagan works the count full and walks. Juiced for Rios, nobody out.
Lexi also gets a 3-2 count, he grounds to the SS who throws it wild. Velandia's error moves everyone around, two runs score. Score it a single and E-6. Runners on second and third, Marvin Bernard batting cleanup now. Glynn warming up in the bullpen and it is 6-3.
Bernard pops it up in foul territory. One out.
Glenn Williams, another full count. Rios stole second somewhere in there. Williams strikes out, the third K for Travis Smith.
Howie Clark, who I believe is playing his natural second base tonight, singles through the right. The throw comes home and Clark goes to second. 2nd and 3rd, 6-4 Richmond, two outs.
Gross bloops one but it is caught for the third out.

6-4 Richmond after three complete in Syracuse.

Top of the 8th:

Grounder to second - Rich makes a great play on it to get the fastest Reading batter. K streak ends at 6. 3-2 curve strikes him out looking. 8 batters faced, 7 K's.

Flare into right-centre by Deschaine (ex-Jays farmhand, acquired in the Gonzo deal). Houston is done; Frederick coming in.

Houston on the season is now 22.7 IP, 96 BF, 16 H, 13 W, 30 K, 2 HR, 1 HBP, 31.3% K/BF. 7 runs so far with 1 on base his responsibility.

Top 4th - AAA:

Lost the feed at the beginning...Velandia up with one out and he walks.
Tyner batting, and Guiel makes a nice catch in left field.
Two outs, man on first and Orr grounds it past Clark into right field.
First and second, Langerhans up. He walks and the bases are loaded.
Matos not looking..er, sounding good this inning.
A passed ball scores the runner and moves the others up.
The batter strikes out.

After 3.5, 7-4 Richmond. Far from scoreless here, Robert.

RE: AA game. They won't let Floyd throw 9 just for a no-hitter, will they?

Bottom 4th -- AAA:

Guiel is on first somehow.
Chiaffredo grounds out 4-6 but is safe on first.
Adams up again, and he quickly goes 0-2. Chopper to second, Adams out at first. Runner on second, two outs.
Fagan strikes out.
After four, 7-4 Richmond.

Chris Baker goes for the Chiefs tomorrow against Sam McConnell, a 28 year old southpaw.

Matos: 4 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 2 K. 7 runs, not all earned.

Thomas grounds it to third, out number one.
DePastino strikes out looking.
Evans grounds it back to Lukasiewicz for the third out.
7-4 still.

Floyd's AA numbers (unofficial) 8 starts, 41 IP, 26 H, 16 W (1 IW), 31 K, 1.76 ERA. I'd say he's almost ready for AAA, though his K rate could be a bit higher. However, The Cats broadcasters said that Reading has asked Floyd to limit the use of his yakker and work on his other pitches.

Bottom 6th:

Guiel lines a single to centre.
Chiaffredo, grounds ball, and the only play is at first. Guiel to second, two outs. Adams walks. Two men on.
Fagan singles. Guiel scores, Adams to third. 7-6, Chiefs within one.
Rios, 3-2 count and he...walks. Bases loaded for Marvin Bernard.
Kelly, the pitching coach, out to see Glynn.

Williams bloops it to centre field. After an error, he ends up on second, and he drives in two. 9-7 Syracuse.
Roman Colon now up in the bullpen.

9-8 going to bottom of 8.

On the out-of-town, it's now 12-10 Sarasota over Dunedin in the eighth. Charleston lost to Capital City 8-2, as Shaun Marcum gave up 5 runs, 3 earned on 7 hits and 3 walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out 5.

Gabe Gross (1-3 with a walk) walks on 4 pitches, bases loaded. Noah Hall up and grounds into a 6-4 fielders' choice to end the inning.

9-8 going to top 9.

It's a final in Sarasota: 12-11 for Sarasota over Dunedin.

Top of 9 in Syracuse

Chulk on for the long save.

Ryan Langerhans grounded out to Shawn Fagan unassisted. Mike Hessman (with 10 hrs. so far this season including one earlier tonight) flared a ball to right for a single. Charles Thomas grounded the ball back to Chulk, who tried for the lead runner and had enough time but threw it into centerfield, one out, runners on 1st and 2nd. DePastino blooped one just wide of the right field foul line on 1-1, had a close checked swing at 1-2, and then struck out swinging. Two outs. Vinnnnnnnnie. Evans up, the count goes to 1-2 and Evans grounds out to Fagan.

Sky Chiefs win 9-8.

Chulk does a nice job, save for the error.

yep, milb.com is busted. I'm guessing whoever wrote their cookie handler screwed up, and you get stuck in an endless loop trying to agree with their new policy (which I believe is related to ESPN scraping their site for data).

usatoday has AA and AAA boxes.
