Today we get our first dose of minor league games against OTHER teams! Huzzah! The org goes 3-2 on the day.

Tommy Pham winks in your general direction.

Memphis 6, New Orleans 5

  • Trey Hearne allowed 3 runs (2 earned) over 2 IP.  He struck out 2 and allowed 3 hits. Hearne had something of a rebound year in 2009 after being loaned to the Mexican League in 2008.  He posted a 3.68 FIP in 120+ Springfield innings but it was supported mainly by an unsustainable low homerun rate.
  • Brandon Dickson tossed 2 innings with 1 hit, 1 walk and 1 K.
  • Chuckie Fick allowed 4 hits and 2 walks in 2 innings of work.  He was tagged for 2 runs while striking out 2.
  • Matt Meyer, Matt Scherer and Rich Rundles all pitched scoreless frames. Scherer picked up the win.
  • Daniel Descalso was 2-for-5. With Jarrett Hoffpauir out of the organization, Descalso has a clear spot at second in Memphis for the next two years.  The signing of Skip Schumaker virtually guarantees that two year tour of duty though.
  • Tyler Henley was 2-for-4 with a walk. I expect a big 2010 for him.
  • Daryl Jones walked twice and singled.
  • Colt Sedbrook singled and walked.
  • Amaury Cazana Marti, ruler of all things baseball, hit the go-ahead triple and walked. Maybe he walked out a go-ahead triple? It could happen.

Springfield 7, Jacksonville 12

  • Scott Gorgen, keeper of my favorite FutureRedbird changeup, was perfect for two innings striking out 2.
  • Brad Furnish allowed 3 runs (2 earned) in 2 innings on 3 hits while striking out 1.
  • A rough day for Arquimedes Nieto and Blake King allowing 5 runs (4 earned) in 1.2 innings and 3 runs (0 earned) in 0.1 innings respectively.
  • Jason Buursma pitched two scoreless frames.
  • Adron Chambers was 2-for-5.
  • Curt Smith was 2-for-3.
  • Chris Swauger, Francisco Rivera and Matt Arburr went yard.
  • Tommy Pham was 3-for-4 with a triple and a HR. He also walked.

Palm Beach 0, Jupiter 10

  • A rough day for Palm Beach pitching as no one really stands out in the box score. Adam Veres was saddled with the loss allowing 2 ER in 2 innings.
  • Jonathan Gonzalez allowed 4 ER recording just 2 outs.
  • Pedro Rodriguez and Houston Summers both had 1 unearned run to their lines while pitching 1.1 and 2 innings respectively.
  • Richard Racobaldo was 2-for-4 with a double.
  • Osvaldo Morales was 2-for-2 with a double.

Quad Cities #1 5, Greensboro 0

  • Michael Blazek, Deryk Hooker, Chris Notti and Zach Russell all pitched a pair of scoreless innings. Andres Rosales finished off the game with a scoreless 9th. Blazek struck out 4.
  • It was death by paper cuts with 10 different QC players reaching base.
  • Ross Smith walked and singled.
  • CJ Beatty and Travis Tartamella both doubled.

Quad Cities #2 3, Marlins #5 0

  • Edgar Lara was 2-for-4 with a double.
  • Hector Alvarez was 3-for-4 with a run scored.
  • Rainel Rosario singled with 2 RBIs.
  • 6 pitchers combined for the shutout.
  • Reynier Gonzalez struck out 2, walked 1 and allowed a hit in his two innings.
  • Kyle Heim tossed a pair of frames allowing a pair of hits.
  • Tyler Lavigne — I’m assuming no relation to the singer — walked 1 and struck out 1 in his two innings.

  1. ArRedbird says:

    Anyone had a sighting of Matt Carpenter, the third-baseman
    who zoomed from Batavia to Palm Beach in ’09?

  2. DK says:

    good question. I haven’t heard anything about Matt Carpenter this year. I hope he can continue to play like he did last year. I was impressed with the guy, and was impressed with his college play.

  3. cariocacardinal says:

    no reason with a strong 2010 that Descalso can’t be on the Cardinal bench next year. He has laready played some SS and 3B in the minors.

  4. Pierce says:

    What in the world happened to Jose Martinez? Anybody know where he is?

  5. themop10 says:

    Anybody have a detailed report on Kyle Heim? He is a Missouri boy and I went to college and church with his sister.

  6. tom s. says:

    pierce, i thought he was quietly released last year in august or so.

  7. ArRedbird says:

    Pierce — Jose Martinez played in the games Mar. 19th. He had to
    return to his home last spring because of a family emergency. When
    he returned, he needed shoulder surgery, and missed the entire season.

    He could challenge Descalso for some 2B time at Memphis.

  8. Pierce says:

    Yeah, I spoke a day too soon.
