AAA
Earl Snyder provided the 1 run for the Bats by hitting his 13th homerun of the season in the 2nd inning. The HR gave the Bats a short lived 1-0 lead. Will Bergolla was the only Bats player to have a multihit game, going 2-3 on the night.
Steven Kelly received the loss by going 4 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, 3 walks, and struck out 2. The Bats bullpen of Robbins and Shearn collapsed in the 7th when they combined to give up 7 runs on 6 hits, 2 walks, while striking out 2.
AA
Homer Bailey improved to 4-0 at AA and now sports a 0.75 earned run average after going 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, 0 walks, and striking out 3. With Chattanooga, Bailey has thrown 24 innings, allowing 14 hits, 4 walks, 25Ks, and 2 runs. Thus meaning Bailey must be struggling as he raised his ERA from 0.00 to 0.75 yesterday.
Relief pitcher extraordinaire Rick Asadoorian went 3-3 playing CF last night including 2 runs scored and a double.
High A
Paul Janish went 3-5 on the night, including 2 runs scored, 2 rbis and a double. Janish is hitting .251/.335/.374 with Sarasota.
Cody Strait went 2-4 on the night, including a double, rbi, and run scored. Strait is struggling along at .233/.294/.403.
Low A
Craig Tatum went 2-3 on the night, belting 2 solo homeruns. The 2 shots gave Tatum 5 on the season and is now hitting .251/.324/.377.
Carlos Fisher improved to 8-4 on the season after going 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, walking 1, and striking out 7.
Rookie Leagues
David Scott, hitting .176 on the season, provided a 2 rbi double in the 2nd inning and the Reds never trailed from that point on. Jacob Long went 2-3 on the night and is now batting .365/.400/.442 in 52 at bats.
3B Jason Louwsma had another nice game. Louwsma went 3-4 on the night, hitting 2 doubles, a homerun, scoring twice, and driving 2 runs home. Jason is now hitting .351/.373/.545 in 77 at-bats.
Good grief, Homer Bailey is a stud. But what is Asadoorian doing playing in the field? He needs to be in the bullpen!
By the way, Chris, I’m taking my Chinese brother to Cincinnati next weekend. Wanna go?
No, you agree with Chris W about the trade; you disagree with Chris. Two different Redleg Nation editors there. 🙂
See, even the RN editors don’t agree all the time. That’s why you’re welcome to comment. We all love the Reds, we just don’t agree on everything. As long as you are prepared to back up your argument, discussion is good here.
Chris Gruler started but left the GCL Reds game after 1.2 innings. Any word on why?
