It’s back. Don’t phone a friend. Don’t use a Free Spin. Don’t try to block the square.

Memphis will be Leaving Las Vegas tonight, so let’s get right to this so you all can get back to thinking about Elizabeth Shue.

Memphis 1, Las Vegas 3

• Brendan Ryan was 0-for-3 in his rehab start. That’s 0-for-8 so far. Wonder if this will be one of those situations where a guy never makes it back because someone else is playing better?
• Jon Jay was 2 for 4.
• David Freese, Brian Anderson and Javier Brito (who!?!) were all 1-for-4.
• Mark Shorey hit a HR which drove in the only run of the game.
• Blake Hawksworth’s performance may or may not have been good. Who am I to judge? He went 7.2 innings, giving up 3 ERs on 5 hits. He had a healthy 7-to-1 K:BB ratio.
• Charlie Manning wouldn’t even have existed if not for the solo hit he gave up in his only batter faced.
• Matthew Scherer faced 5 batters, got 4 flyouts and 1 hit.

Springfield 2, Nwar Kansas 4

• DJ Tools with a multi-hit night. 2-for-4 with an RBI.
• Coo Coo Ca Choo, Steven Hill, and Daniel Descalso all were 2-for-5. Walrus and Descalso had a double.
• Mark Hamilton was one better, 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI.
• Tyler Henley, my favorite Eagle, was 2-for-3 with a double.
• Ryan Kulik did not pick up a Quality Start. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings. Of the 7 hits, 2 of them were HRs. He walked 2 and struckout 2.
• Eddie Degerman’s 1 inning had a little bit of everything. A walk, a hit and a strikeout.
• Pete Parise is lovely this time of year. His 2 innings saw a hit for each and they had to split a walk.

Palm Beach 2, Charlotte 0

• Hey Yo, Adron Chambers drove in all of the teams 2 runs on a 1-for-3 day. He also stole a base.
• Curt Smith knew I would be doing tonight’s DFR, so he went ahead and had himself a 2-for-3 day with a double.
• Francisco Rivera scored the teams 2 runs, going 2 for 3 with a stolen base.
• Nick Additon calculated that even though he had 2 runs to work with, pitching a 6 inning shutout was for the best. To reach a dividend of zero, he negated his 3 hits with 3 strikeouts.
• Samuel Freeman continued to be nasty, picking up the hold with 2 innings of shutout ball. He struck out 1.
• Adam Reifer toked took the save, striking out 2 of the 3 batters he faced.

Quad Cities 3, Peoria 7 (Game 1)

• Brett Lilley scored 2 runs, going 1-for-3 with a walk.
• Frederick Parejo was 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
• Chris Swauger strutted his way for a double and a triple in his 3 at-bats, picking up 2 RBIs.
• Roberto Espinoza was 2-for-3. He also stole a base. Trying hard to not make the Walker Texas Ranger reference.
• Josh Wilson’s first start saw him give up 5 hits and strike out 5 in 5 innings. That all led to 3 runs on 2 HRs.
• David Carpenter was ‘insert negative adjective here’ in his only inning. He gave up 4 runs on 3 hits and a walk. He had a strikeout and gave up a dinger as well.

Quad Cities 4, Peoria 1 (Game 2)

• Brett Lilley was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
• Osvaldo knew Jack Ruby Morales hit a 2-run double (1-for-4)
• Charles Cutler and Frederick Parejo both went 1-for-3 with a walk.
• Guillermo The Yankee Years Toribio was 2 for 3 with a double. Get it? Torre bio?
• The Mayor Gary Daley pitched 4 scoreless innings scattering 5 hits and 2 BBs. He struckout 1.
• Ramon Delgado gave up the only runs of the game on a HR. He pitched 2 innings of 3 hit ball. He struckout 2.
• Casey Mulligan had the good fortune of pitching while his team scored 3 runs late and picked up the win. He pitched 2 scoreless innings, striking out 3 and giving up 2 hits.

With Tyler Greene slapping some mean leather with the big league club, Brendan Ryan is kinda redundant until he starts hitting again. I feel bad for the guy. He’s a great defensive player in his own right but the slap hitter you know and all that. Although, Greene has made solid contact while with the big club and doesn’t have an OCD twitch. Not sure how Tony comes down on idiosyncrasies.
