by Geoff Young
Triple-A — Portland 4, Sacramento 3
Chase Headley: 0-for-3, 2 BB
Brian Myrow: 1-for-3, BB
Chip Ambres (CF): 1-for-3, 2B, BB
Will Venable (DH): 1-for-4
Vince Sinisi (RF): 0-for-2, BB, SF
Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4, 2B
Josh Geer: 8 IP, 7 H, 3 H, 2 HR, 1 BB, 6 SO, HBP
Geer has worked 6+ innings in each of his past nine starts. His K/9 is better than 6.0 this year, which is a good sign. The 12 homers in 79 innings are a little less exciting.
Double-A — San Antonio 4, Corpus Christi 1
Drew Macias: 2-for-4, 2B, BB
Craig Cooper (LF): 0-for-5
Kyle Blanks: 1-for-3, 2B, BB
Seth Johnston: 1-for-4, 2B
Colt Morton: 2-for-4, HR
Chad Huffman (PH): 0-for-1
Will Inman: 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 BB, 3 SO
Mike Ekstrom: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 2 SO
The Missions are on one of their crazy good pitching runs again…
High-A — Lake Elsinore 13, High Desert 9
Javis Diaz: 0-for-5
Cedric Hunter: 1-for-6
Eric Sogard: 3-for-5, BB, SB, E
Mitch Canham (DH): 2-for-5, HR, BB
Kellen Kulbacki: 3-for-5, 2 HR, BB
Corey Kluber: 6 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 8 SO
Everyone loves to take their hacks in Adelanto… Kulbacki is hitting .360/.484/1.040 with five homers in seven June games.
Low-A — Lansing 3, Fort Wayne 2
Luis Durango (DH): 0-for-4
Justin Baum: 0-for-4
Felix Carrasco: 0-for-2
Yefri Carvajal: 1-for-3
Matt Teague: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 4 BB, 1 SO, WP
Robert Woodard: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 1 SO

The team has now won 5 in a row. Wow, who’d of thunk it. Too bad they have a day off. I’d like to see a sweep of the Dogs (no offense GY).
GY, how about a new poll?

Also won 10 of there last 14. Yes, I read that in the paper this morning. Couldn’t believe it. Latest poll shows more are keeping the faith.

#2@Oside Jon: I took the day off, so I have an excuse. Sorta…

Remember Jonathan Spraud the SS the Padres signed last year, he now goes by Jonathan Galvez. I wonder if he still 17 years old or more like 20.

Regarding the Storm for those of us in San Diego, I think 1700 AM is broadcasting Storm games. I heard parts of the High Desert v LE game last night driving in my car. Has anyone else heard of this?

#6@Loren: Yeah they did it last year as well, I really like it.
June 9, 2008 at 9:49 am
Woo-hoo Antonelli got a hit! Baby Steps!

#8@Schlom
Holy crap I didn’t see that. (Gets up and does a happy dance at work)

#1@Turbine Dude: None taken. I’d like to see a sweep of the Dodgers and every other team we play this year.

The Lake Elsinore game was in 10 innings (7-7 after regulation). 10 batters went to the plate in the top of the tenth in beautiful Atalanto, CA (think of the Eagles song “Hotel California” (On a ark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light)) the stadium is in the middle of nowhere.

#9@Loren: That stops a long hitless streak for Antonelli. His first hit in the past ten games, which makes him 1 for his last 30. At least that one hit was a double to go along with his 3 walks in June, making his line 050/174/100. That’s really bad. I don’t know how they can keep him up, although I guess you can say that at least he’s had this bad streak in the PCL’s pitchers parks (6 in Portland, 4 in Sacramento)
