Memphis plays 2, Springfield early games

[craviduce]

Memphis 2, Toledo 0 ; Bot 1st

Colton Ledbetter ~ 1-1, Double, 2 RBI

Blaze Jordan with a scorching Single...he's upped his EV by a tremendous amount this year. Could see him manning 1B against Stout LHP with St. Louis this Summer.

Brycen Mautz on the bump

Nice start to the day for the boys.

[Talkin' Baseball]

If you stay with all the games, you're going to be cross-eyed at the end of the day.

[CNYFan]

Sometimes I have to chuckle

[craviduce]

Baez dodges out of the way, avoids bowling over Koperniak in RCF.

easy out

[craviduce]

Mautz works quickly....gets another K


Memphis 2, Toledo 0 ; Top 3rd/Game 1

Brycen Mautz ~ 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K....22 pitches, 17 strikes....no walks, that's a great improvement for Mautz. Keep it up.

Colton Ledbetter ~ 1-1, Double, 2 RBI
Josh Baez ~ 1-1, Single, Run
Blaze Jordan ~ 1-1, Single, Run

[craviduce]

Torres with the rare HR....3-0 Memphis

Baez K's

Bernal flies out

[craviduce]

Memphis 3, Toledo 1 ; Top 4th /Game 1

Brycen Mautz ~ 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K ... 40 pitches, 26 strikes

Colton Ledbetter ~ 1-2, Double, 2 RBI, K
Josh Baez ~ 1-2, Single, Run, K
Blaze Jordan ~ 2-2, 2 Singles, Run

starting his 2nd time thru ...he walks the lead off man, Malgeri. Missing arm side, his nemesis this season. Rbi grounder by Clark...but comes back to get DeJong swinging. Bernal nails Clark trying to swipe 2B. First time Clark has been caught this season...so says the Toledo announcers

[craviduce]

Peete and Rainiel could really help this anemic team...Peete will probably struggle...initially. But anything is better than what Springfield producing.

2nd time thru...solo shot off Mautz....the Tigers have a good hitting team in AAA

Would they need to promote Davis to make room for Peete, or just move Davis to a corner? Is Davis promotion-worthy at this time. I think borderline yes.

Memphis 3, Toledo 2 ; Top 5th /Game 1

Brycen Mautz ~ 4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR

Colton Ledbetter ~ 1-2, Double, 2 RBI, K
Josh Baez ~ 1-2, Single, Run, K
Blaze Jordan ~ 2-2, 2 Singles, Run
Brody Moore ~ 1-2, Single

What I feared about Mautz....good long reliever, but 2nd time thru is a real struggle. He falls off hard on his pitches...regrouped a bit for some weaker contact to end the inning, but he's not missing any bats right now.

Positive is the walks are down

A nice piggy-back, Guru. Keep up the good work.

move him. They'll do a scrub promotion...a AA lifer. Mendlinger or Harris or Levenson (god forbid)
