    Well Johnson City has already pushed the start time for game 1 back an hour on two occasions this afternoon. First pitch for game 1 now scheduled for 7pm. 7pm start time for a double header? Ugh and I realize they only go 7 innings but still, that’s asking a lot. This is the 2nd straight day they’ve done this and at this point I have doubts they’ll get the games in. Color me surprised if they do.

    And to add insult to injury, they postponed their t-shirt giveaway.

    RBI singleby Gorman. 3 hits on the day. He looks very comfortable. Made a nice barehanded play on
    A swinging bunt.

    At this pace Gorman will be in Memphis by the end of the month.

    Also home run by Luken Baker. Palm Beach wins 2-0 behind another great performance by Fagalde. Four hits, one walk and 8 K’s in 6 shutout innings.

    State College a 9-3 win as Toerner with 3 hits and 2 by Espinal as both are pushing .300. Espinal a homer.

    Pugs will be pleased…although he didn’t quite hit his predicted game score of 80, 74 is very solid for Alexander “The Great.”

    If not for that one free pass, he would have had his 80, stlcard25. Alexander “The Great” Fagalde continues to impress! I’m very worried though as this man needs to be challenged….and he’s just not getting it! He’s not going to be challenged at Peoria, nor will he be challenged at Palm Beach….and I’m beginning to wonder if he’ll even be challenged at Springfield. Now can we end this charade and start to challenge this diamond in the rough!!

    Don’t care about game score, Fagalde keeps standing out!!

    Here here, Cardinals27! You know, if this were the 70’s when fan clubs were all the rage, I think at least half of us here would be bona fide card carrying members of the FFC…..or Fagalde Fan Club, if you will.

    Woodford has given up 8 runs (4 earned) tonight for Memphis. The league has appeared to catch up to him.

    Woodford is still just 21 years old pitching in Triple-A.

    As far as the league catching up to him, he had six pretty good starts before stumbling his last two times out – 5 and 4 earned.

    Here are his runs allowed in his first six Memphis starts: 4, 1, 3, 1, 1, 0.

    Also meant to include that Angel Rondon looked very good yesterday. Fastball 90-92 mph, touching 94, Good curveball 77, and he got swings and misses on his change up. And I believe he is only 20.

    Ascanio looked good defensively. Luken Baker is a big boy, and very slow. He hammered a homer, and hit into a double play even though the shortstop bobbled it a couple of times.

    Thanks for the reports.

    Baker is also coming off a broken leg and torn ankle ligament in April for which he is still getting treatment. Obviously, he will never be mistaken for Vince Coleman, though.

    I wish I would have seen Fagalde when he was in Peoria.

    But hopefully he can outrun a tarp. 🙂

    Baker is still probably faster than Molina.Molasses versus Molasses .

    I hope that the organization doesn’t mess with Fagalde by doing an O’Reilly with him. O’Reilly has dropped off a cliff since going to the Memphis’ bullpen. Now he’s all the way back to Palm Beach and pitching out of their bullpen.
