If I remember correctly he was a really good hitter in High school

NM

Thanks Johnny I forgot to post that part.

Z's score 1 in the top of the 7th to extend their lead to 9-3

I said last week I felt that Brett would turn it around after his rough outing last week. Brett's line tonight: 6 IP 6 hits (1 double, 1HR) 3 ER 0 BB 5K's 87 pitches/56 strikes has lowered his ERA to 11.57 He actually had only given up 1 run through 5 but gave up a HR with 1 on in the 6th. This is the longest outing by a Zephyr pitcher thus far this season. Zephry's scored 7 in the first inning to take control. Going to the 7th New Orleans leads 8-3

Zephyrs drop second in a row to Memphis 8-3 Brett Sinkbeil gets the start tomorrow

Tucker's Linescore: 1.2 IP 6 H (1 Double, 1 Triple, 1 HR) 7ER 2 BB 43 pitches/25 strikes ERA now 17.36 Zephyr's trail 8-2 in the bottom of 7

Zephyr's lose 5-2

UGH. Koronka comes in the 8th and gives up a run. Here is his line: 1 IP 1 H 1 R 2 BB 1 K ERA goes up to 5.40

UGH. Koronka comes in the 8th and gives up a run. Here is his line: 1 IP 1 H 1 R 2 BB 1 K ERA goes up to 5.40

Standridge came on and pitched well. 3.1 IP 2 H 0 R 2 BB 5 K and lowered his ERA to 1.50 Only negative for Standridge was 3 Wild Pitches

Daniel struggled tonight. Personally I have always thought of him as more of a reliever. Here is his line: 2.2 IP 4 H (including a HR) 4 ER 2 BB 4 K ERA 9.64 63 pitches 38 strikes Zephyrs trail 4-2 going to the top of 4

He has to good of stuff to not figure it out. It's going to be fun tracking him, West, and G. Taylor this year and see if we have some legit LHP close. Now if only Trahern can get back to his ground ball ways. He did a pretty good job last night. 9 groundballs and 3 that were turned into double plays.

I talked to Dallas last night and he wasnt tired. Again I said from the sound of it (listening to the radio broadcast) He said he actually threw some really good pitches during the two walks but that they were borderline and he just didnt get the calls. That's baseball. All in all it was a good start and as I said I believe Tucker and Sinkbeil will be just fine and this could be a really good pitching staff for the Zephrys. Daniel Barone goes tonight in Memphis if they can avoid a rainout.

Erick, Let's compare the 4 starts thus far since you think Im giving Dallas preferrential treatment: 1st Inning Tucker 1K 2BB 1H (double) Sinkbeil 4H 1BB 1WP 1 SB 3ER Badenhop 1 K 2 H Trahern 1 H 2nd Inning Tucker 1 K 1 H Sinkbeil 1H Badenhop 1 K 2 H Trahern 1 H 1BB 1 Pickoff 3rd Inning Tucker 1 H 3 BB 1 ER Sinkbeil 4 H (2 doubles) 1 HBP 3 ER Badenhop 1 K 1 BB Trahern 3 up/3 down 1 K 4th Inning Tucker Replaced to start the 4th Inning Sinkbeil 3 H (2 doubles) 3 ER was Replaced during this inning Badenhop 2 H Trahern Throwing Error On Trahern 5th Inning Badenhop 1 K 2 H (1 double) 1 BB 1 ER Trahern 1 H 2 BB 6th Inning Badenhop replaced to start the inning Trahern 1 K 3 H 3ER (Runners on 1st and 2nd when Trahern left the game) Final Lines: Tucker 3 IP 3 H 2 ER 5 BB 2K 6.00 ERA 56 pitches 29 strikes 3 groundouts/3 flyouts Sinkbeil 3.1 IP 11 H 9 ER 1 BB 1K 24.30 ERA 81 pitches 53 strikes 8 groundouts/1 flyouts Badenhop 5 IP 6 H 1 ER 3 BB 5 K 1.80 ERA 80 Pitches 51 strikes 5 groundouts/5 flyouts Trahern 5.2 IP 6 H 3 ER 3 BB 2K 4.76 ERA 67 pitches 40 strikes 9 groundouts/5 flyouts By the line scores most would say that the best would either be Badenhop or Trahern. Dallas threw less pitches in 2/3 of an inning more. I think you would have to agree that had they pulled Trahern to start the 6th like they did Badenhop, then I would say Trahern would have been the most effective pitcher. Trahern is the only one who left the game with the lead in the game. This could change by tomorrow and if it does I will come back and explain

Zephyrs EXPLODE for 6 runs in the top of 10 to win 11-5 Great comeback!

Bullpen gave up the lead. Game tied at 5 in the 10th

And what does that mean? He had a 3 hitter going through 5 and was tired. Only thing I can figure out was that the bullpen was tired and they were trying to get as many innings out of him as possible.

Trahern scattered 3 hits through 5 innings but tired. Walking 2 at the end of the 5th but was able to get out of the inning unscathed. They let him start the sixth inning and he got the leadoff batter to fly up but gave up 3 straight singles (scoring 1 run) Koronka came in relief of Trahern giving up a bunt base hit to load the bases. Then gave up a sinlge allowing the two inherited runners to score. In my opinion, should have pulled Dallas after the 5th. He was obviously tiring and they sent him back out. Instead of his line being 5 IP 3 H 0ER 3BB and 1 K a 0.00 ERA and a 5-0 lead he ends up 5.2 6 H (all singles) 3 ER 3 BB 2 K and a 4.76 ERA. He also picked off a runner Zephyrs lead 5-3 going to the 7th.

Thanks! I talked to him last night and he is excited. Hopefully not too excited.

Burke Badenhop gets no decision is his first outing. 5 IP 6 H 1ER 3 BB 5 K Zephyrs win 6-2 Tomorrow night Dallas Trahern on the bump

This is his first year at AAA. He will be fine. Just first game jitters at AAA Im sure

Zephyrs have cut it to 10-6 in the 8th

Sinkbeil roughed up in first AAA start 3.1 IP 11 H (including 4 Doubles) 9 ER 1K 1BB 24.30 ERA Zephyrs trail 10-4 in the bottom of 6

Tucker does? Wow Zephyrs score 3 in the top of 8 to take a 7-4 lead. Nashville scores 1 in the bottom of the night but Sanchez comes in to slam the door shut and New Orleans WINS 7-5!
