Good week for Jonny, hitting .333 in his last ten games. In Saturday's Civil Rights Game, he gave the Reds a 5-0 lead with a 2 run dinger. But Cueto gave up a truckload of hits and the Reds lost a game they shoulda won. 2-for-3 with his 5th double against the White Sox Sunday. 2-for-4 with his third homerun last night. A combo of lotsa probable LHP for the opposing teams and Jonny's hot bat have made it easier for Dusty to massage the lineup, inserting Dickerson for the struggling CF Willy Taveras the last few days. Jonny Gomes is leading the team with a .333 average excluding 1B Joey Votto (.346) who is fresh off the DL with stress related issues following his Dad's death. The Reds have sorely missed Votto's bat. Let's hope it's all good with Joey and that this new lineup grinds out some wins, not just hits. BTW, Gomes is .391 v LHP and .286 v RHP.
JOEY GOMES (DH, Edmonton Capitals, Golden League - IND)
Joey has really cranked up the Caps' offense. In just 8 games, he's had 7 extra base hits including 5 doubles, 2 homeruns and 7RBIs.
LOUIS OTT (A Jupiter Hammerheads, Florida Marlins Organization)
Big game for Sweet Lou last night. 3-for-4 with a double and 2 runs scored. Yah!
BRANDON MORROW (P, Seattle Mariners, MLB):
Morrow pitched 5+ in a Mariner's victory last night. Didn't get the win, but continues to solidify his spot in the rotation throwing 87 pitches, 57 for strikes. Attaboy Brandon. Keep hummin'. Brandon's bobblehead sure got a workout in the Seattle Pressbox last Friday night.
TOMMY EVERIDGE (IF, AAA Sacramento River Cats, Oakland Athletics Organization)
Tommy's on fire. His average reached .347 Tuesday before a brief dip in the cool 0-for-4 water last night. In just 14 games, he's racked up 11 runs on 17 hits with 3 doubles, 3 home runs and 9 RBIs. Awesome.
KONRAD SCHMIDT (C, High A Visalia Rawhide, Arizona Diamondbacks Organization)
Batting .246 through this week's All Star Break. Games resume tonight with the Rawhide hosting Modesto.
STEVE PEARSON (1B, Wichita WingNuts, IND)
Steve's great season continues. He's batting .329 with 9 doubles, 2 home runs, and 20 RBIs. 4-for-5 last night. A tip of the cap to reader Not So Anonymous for his eye witness reporting from the Sioux City Explorers' where the Nuts no-hit the X's Tuesday night. For the first time ever.
DJ GENTILE (OF, Matsu Miners, Alaska)
Man these box scores are hard to find. Batting .333 in 5 games played. No fishing report yet.
PETALUMA AMERICAN JR. DIVISION ROUND TABLE PIZZA:
After an first round bye and a second round win, Round Table dropped one to Petaluma National's Anderson team Tuesday night. Charlie Parnow pitched out of his socks for Anderson and Round Table was flat as a cheese pizza with no toppings. Fortunately, Round Table rallied and topped Petaluma National's North Bay Construction by a score of 10-0 in six innings last night as they try to battle back through the loser's bracket. That means baseball every night through Sunday. I'm up for that :-) All-Stars begin on July 4th. What's more All-American than that?
Steve Pearson played left field last night, and went 0-4, and the Wingnuts completed the 4 game sweep over the X's, 2-1.
