Mariners Minor League Game Action Recap for July 30
I made a strategic decision this morning to do a trade deadline post instead of a recap.
As Rick Perry once said ... "Oops."
So here's a late and abbreviated version.
But good things on the way! Like "Can Dominc Leone defeat the human brain?"
AAA -- Omaha 4, Tacoma 1 -- Box
Taijuan Walker (Talk40 #2) can be vexed by Ben Broussard just like the rest of Mariner-dom.
The Man For Whom We Coughed Up Shin-Soo Choo doubled and scored as Omaha got four earned runs off Walker: 6.0 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K.
Jesus Montero got his first Tacoma homer, but the rumors of pending suspension are mounting.
AA -- Jackson 5, Huntsville 1 -- Box
The Morbanwagon got cranked up and was running on a tank full of Choi Joy!
Julio Morban (Talk40 #15) had two triples and a walk.
Our man Ji-Man Choi (Talk40 #19) got two singles and a walk.
Anthony Fernandez (Talk40 #23): 7.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
Dominic Leone (Talk40 #25): 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
High-A -- Stockton 8, High Desert 2 -- Box
Kevin Rivers had a homer (his 12th) and a single. Otherwise not much to discuss.
Low-A -- Clinton 4, Beloit 3 [10 innings] -- Box
Deeeeeeej!
D.J. Peterson came back from his day off and homered. He also drew a pair of walks.
Taylor Ard (Talk40 #32) also went deep.
Short Season-A -- Everett 6, Hillsboro 0 -- Box
The Aqua Sox got all their runs in the 4th inning. Half of them came on a three-run homer by one-time possible phenom Phillips Castillo (Talk40 #38).
And more Dutch Mastery! from Lars Huijer: 8.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K. This kid is looking like one to keep a close eye on.
Rookie -- Pulaski 6, Bristol 0 [7 innings] -- Box
Rookie -- Pulaski 7, Bristol 2 [7 innings] -- Box
Game1: Jose Flores went six shutout innings. Jeffrey Zimmerman had two hits and a walk.
Game 2: Homers for Isaiah Yates (Talk40 #39) and Wilton Martinez. Three hits for Kristian Brito (Watch List).
Looking Ahead at What's Going on Now
Tyler Pike (Talk40 #14) for Clinton.
