K26dp Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Bradley Zimmer hit a grand slam in the seventh inning, leading the Columbus Clippers to a 6-4 win over the Gwinnett Braves on Thursday. The grand slam by Zimmer scored Yandy Diaz, Guillermo Quiroz, and Michael Choice to give the Clippers a 6-2 lead. Gwinnett got within two after Emilio Bonifacio hit an RBI single in the eighth inning and Sean Kazmar hit a solo home run in the ninth. Gwinnett missed an additional scoring opportunity in the eighth, when Ronnier Mustelier struck out with the bases loaded to end the inning. Overall, the Braves failed to capitalize on some good scoring chances, leaving 12 runners on base. The teams will resume the best-of-five series tomorrow in Laurenceville, tied 1-1.

K26dp Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Carlos Franco knocked in 3 runs in support of RHP Patrick Weigel, who pitched a gem to even up the Southern League Division Series for Mississippi, final score 5-0. Weigel, in only his fourth AA start, was masterful, striking out eight Blue Wahoos while only allowing 5 baserunners, none of whom got past first base. In addition to his usual high-90s fastball that he was throwing to both sides of the plate, Weigel showcased a big 11-5 curveball and a tight slider that he buried into righthanders. This combo limited contact, and what contact there was was weak. Franco helped make up for the two costly errors from last night's game by delivering at the plate. Mississippi opened up the scoring in the 2nd inning. After Franco singled, he went call the way home on a RF Connor Lien double to make it 1-0. In the 3rd inning, back-to-back-to-back singles by CF Mallex Smith, 2B Levi Hyams, and LF Dustin Peterson plated a second run, and left two on for Franco, who delivered the decisive shot, a 3-run homer. The series will pick back up tomorrow in Pearl, MS with RHP Max Povse on the mound for the Braves.

K26dp Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Looks like Rome will go with RHPs Mike Soroka and Touki Toussaint in the home portion of the Sally League Championship Series tonight and Tuesday (I am planning on going to the game Tuesday). LHP Kolby Allard will start Thursday in Game 3 in Lakeland, NJ. Game 1 of the Southern League Championship starts tonight in Jackson, TN. LHP Michael Mader will climb the hill for the M-Braves, to be followed by LHP Sean Newcomb on Tuesday. RHP Patrick Weigel will pitch Game 3 on Thursday back in Pearl, with RHPs Max Povse and Lucas Sims lined up from Games 4 and 5 if needed. Neither Gwinnett nor Scranton/Wilkes-Barre have yet announced their rotation for the International League Governor's Cup Series that starts Tuesday.

Falconsfan567 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well Fried, Sims and Ruiz will be placed on the 40-man roster to protect them. Anyone else you think we need to put on the 40-man roster to protect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yeah they just opened up 3 roster spots by removing Boscan, Younginer and Kubitza. We know Ruiz is being called up in a few days. I think everyone else will be left unprotected. I dont think we'll lose anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Jesse Biddle Brandon Cunniff Joel De La Cruz Casey Kelly Matt Marksberry Andrew McKirahan Eric O'Flaherty (FA) Chaz Roe Daniel Winkler A.J. Pierzynski (FA) Blake Lalli Anthony Recker Gordon Beckham (FA) Daniel Castro Chase d'Arnaud Brandon Snyder All of these guys can be DFA'd, non-tendered, and some are going to be free agents that won't be back. I'm not saying all these guys will be gone. I'd love to have Dan Winkler back for example, but I don't think another team is exactly going to leap at the chance to grab a guy that's essentially just missed two entire seasons. In short, the Braves can make as much room as they need. Ruiz will be on the 40-man before the end of the year. Fried and Sims are no-brainers. I think they protect Janas, Dave Peterson, Odom, Lien, and Camargo as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Mississippi lost to Jackson 11-3, ending their playoff run and their season. RHP Patrick Weigel had been lights-out since his promotion, but didn't have it last night as he came out wild, walking 5 and only getting 2 outs before he was yanked. RHP Chad Sobotka allowed one inherited run score but otherwise limited the damage and allowed Mississippi to get within striking distance. OF Dustin Peterson hit a HR in the 3rd inning to pull the Braves to 4-3. The RailRiders would slam the door however, and put the game away against relievers Caleb Dirks and Akeel Morris. Still, a heck of a ride for the M-Braves, a team mostly made up of guys that struggled last season in the wake of that team bus crash last May. In particular, the play of Dustin Peterson and Johan Camargo stood out. Pitching was consistently good all year, and the team weathered the departures of early season mainstays like Dansby Swanson, Rob Whalen, and Mauricio Cabrera.
