It was another intra-squad day for the minors. Thanks as always to John Vuch for disseminating this information to us during Spring Training. But, it will be fun to get to the games that count and see who the Cardinals organization has starting and getting key innings and at bats.

It’s a backwards intra-squad day as both junior teams beat their older counterparts.

Let’s get it on!

Memphis 4, Springfield 6

Memphis

• Jess Todd started against Springfield and was “meh” over 5 IP giving up 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB with 4 K’s.
• After Jess Todd, it was a parade of lefties as Charlie Manning (1 IP, 0 ER, 1 K), Ian Ostlund, (1 IP, 1 H and three unearned runs as a result of two errors 1 BB, 2 K’s) and Royce Ring (1 IP, 1 K)
• The Memphis pitching staff was victimized by poor fielding as there was at least 3 errors by the Memphis defense.
• Tyler Greene continues to hit well and went 2-for-3 with a double
• Casey Rowlett, who I had not heard of before this year went 2-for-2 with a walk. He plays 2B and has not OPS’ed over 708 in the minors, but has steadily advanced throughout his career. He’s 26 now and is nowhere near a prospect, but it is good to see the Cards are populating players in the high minors that they have drafted and produced.
• Jon Jay, who is a definite prospect doubled, walked and had an RBI
• Matt Pagnozzi 1-for-3 with a run scored
• Brian Barton singled
• Jarrett Hoffpauir singled, walked and had an RBI
• Mark Shorey 1-for-3

Springfield

• Tyler Herron started against the level above him and struggled with a line of 3.2 IP, 9 H 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K.
• Trey Hearne followed with 2 innings of 1 hit ball with 0 walks and 3 strikeouts. Now that is a line.
• Eddie Degerman went 2 shutout innings giving up only 1 hit, but he walked two.
• Brandon Buckman led Springfield by going 4-for-4 with a 2-run triple.
• Mike Folli was 2-for-4 with a run scored.
• Steve Hill was 2-for-5 with 2 runs scored and an RBI.
• Daniel Descalso was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

Palm Beach 2, Quad Cities 4 (10 ½ innings … wait that does not seem fair)

Palm Beach

• Brian Broderick started and went 4 innings and on the plus side he struck out 4 and walked 0, but he also allowed 7 hits and 3 runs.
• Shaun Garceau followed with 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K’s
• Eduardo Sanchez pitched 1/3 of an inning with only one pitch, which was a 93 MPH fastball.
• David Carpenter 1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB.
• Jorge Rondon 1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K’s.
• Pete Kozma continues to complement his plus defense with 2-for-4 with a run scored.
• Charlie Kingrey 1-for-4 with an RBI.
• Adron Chambers tripled.
• Tommy Pham had an RBI single in his only trip to the plate.
• Paul Vasquez singled and walked, Oliver Marmol singled.

Quad Cities

• Deryk Hooker actually had a good performance in the starting role today with 1 hit and 2 walks over 3 innings with 3 strikeouts.
• Chuckie Fick had next with 3 IP, 4 H, 1 ER.
• Santo Maertz pitched the seventh inning giving up 2 H, 1 ER, 1 K.
• Andres Rosales followed in the eighth1 IP, 1 K. I’m hoping the super-sleeper curse is over for Andres.
• LaCurtis Mayes pitched one inning with 0 runs, 0 walks and 0 Ks.
• Joel Pichardo – 0.2 IP, 1 BB, 1 K.
• Matt Frevert – 1 IP, 1 K.
• Paul Cruz 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
• Osvaldo Morales also went 2-for-4 with a double.
• Domnit Bolivar, who always finds his way into the Vuch Report and the DFR, singled and scored a run.
• Chris Swauger was 2-for-3 with a double.
• Charles Cutler singled and scored two runs.
• Jon Edwards doubled and Ryde Rodriguez was 1-4.

As always, thanks to John Vuch as this DFR would not be possible without his generosity.
