Memphis 6, Nashville 7
- Tyler Greene continues his hot hitting ways going 3-for-5 with a double. As a first round pick, he obviously had the tools to be a top player. Can we possibly be seeing another late bloomer for the Cardinals? He’s 18 months younger than Brendan Ryan having turned 26 in August.
- Allen Craig was 3-for-4.
- David Freese was 2-for-5.
- Brian Barden was 3-for-5.
- Shane Robinson, of whom we’ve seen little since his brief major league stint, went 2-for-4 with a walk.
- Memphis got another good start out of Jaime Garcia allowing 1 ER over 5 innings. He struck out 6 and, shaky command, walked 3 allowing 4 hits including a solo HR.
- Matt Scherer got hit hard for 3 ER in 1.1 IP including a 2 run HR.
- Fernando Salas walked 1 and struck 1 out in 1 IP.
Springfield 2, Tulsa 0
- Colt Sedbrook was 1-for-3 with a walk.
- Andrew Brown launched his 12th HR of the season.
- Trey Hearne needed 94 pitches to go 8 innings. He recorded a phenomenal 15 outs on groundballs against just 5 in the air and striking out 3. He walked 1 and allowed 5 hits. I still have trouble getting worked up about a player that has 97 strikeouts in over 150+ innings when they don’t have Pineiro like command. With a K:BB ratio just under 2, my long term doubts around Hearne remain strong despite an outstanding season.
- The S-Cardinals continue to ride their live 20-year-old arm hard as he picked up the save allowing 1 hit in a scoreless frame. For the season, he’s shown good control walking just 24 in 74 innings while striking out 81. With groundball tendencies to boot, Sanchez shows why relief prospects are such a volatile market as he vaults to the head of the Cardinal class after this season.
Palm Beach 3, Sarasota 2
- Matt Carpenter was 2-for-5 with a HR.
- Curt Smith was 1-for-3 with a walk.
- Brian Broderick had a great outing tossing 8 innings and striking out 7. With 0 walks and 8 hits, he allowed 2 ER.
- Adam Reifer picked up the save with a 1 walk, 1 strike, hitless frame.
Quad Cities 8, Beloit 3
- Frederick Parejo was 2-for-3 with a walk.
- Jack Cawley was 2-for-4.
- The clouds parted over the River Bandits statement. Rays of sunlight peaked through to illuminate the pitchers’ mound. The crowd murmmured hushed oohs and aahs. Shelby Miller pitched 1 inning and wanted to get a taste of everything: 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 1 walk, 1 strikeout.
- Scott McGregor had a stellar “relief” of Shelby Miller. He lasted 6 innings striking out 9 allowing 5 hits and 2 runs (1 earned).
Batavia 4, Auburn 8
- Luis de la Cruz was 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles.
- Jesse Simpson struck out 7 over 5 innings. He walked 1 and allowed 3 hits for 1 ER.
- Justin Smith blew up for 4 runs (2 earned) without retiring a batter.

I heard at the Springfield game last night that Lynn will be starting today for Memphis. I saw they have 5 games in 4 days. Lynn will then come back to Springfield for the playoffs.
Hearne was very good last night even with having trouble with his curve ball. He also had a RBI double in the 7th. Hearne didn’t go out there in the 9th because Pop wanted Sanchez back out there for the save after his problems.
After the problems on defense Wednesday night, they were flawless last night. Infield was Brown-Sedbrook-Solano-Mather.
Lynn will start tonight for Memphis. It is so that he will be on normal rest for Sprinfield’s playoffs.
YES!!! Video of Lance Lynn.
Man, by all box score appearances, it looks like Henley is really scuffling lately and has taken a ride or two on the bench. Any word if he’s struggling with an injury?
I am officially intrigued by Jessie Simpson and thinking of short-listing him as a prospect of interest…which means he will surely crash and burn in the near future.
Share the concern of others with the innings young Sanchez is pitching down in Springfield. Since Samuel went down, it looks like Sanchez pitches every night. Not good. Pop, take it easy on the kid.
Tyler Greene has about 31 steals. He has overcome a past knee injury.
Trey Hearne is not Nolan Ryan. But its good to value him for what he achieves. I had doubts Hearne could pitch at AA. Oops.
Double A, for a minute there I thought you said Jessica Simpson…..
It is going to be a really interesting year when it comes to ranking the prospects. With the graduation of Colby and the trade of Wallace there is no clear #1. Furthermore, it seems like the guys with the tools have had tough years while the guys with the warts have put up the best performances.
32 pitches. . .22 strikes for Shelby Miller. Pitch count was high, but QC did have one error behind him. I’ll take it.
Looks to me like you’re going to have two pitchers potentially in the top 5 with Lynn and Miller, and that’s pretty exciting…
Something not exciting is Matt Rigoli at Johnson City. 2nd year there and its dismal. For some kids, what happens in Johnson City, needs to stay in Johnson City.
Jessica Simpson is also on a short list of mine.
I’d say we have 3 pitchers in the top 5…Miller…Lynn…and Garcia…who may very well be at the top in my mind. I am anxious to see footage and curious what the fastball will top out at, post TJ.
I am not sure why…but I love the link for Tyler Greene goes to the old Phils pitcher.
Was at the game last night for Miller’s debut. Bolivar booted an easy grounder to start the game, then the ump had a small strike zone and was squeezing Miller. Both teams were complaining all night about his zone. According to local paper he topped out at 94 mph.
Good to see Broderick have a nice outing at AA.
