Interesting line-up. Will get to listen to part of this game, hopefully we can muster some kind of offense. Usually these games against the cubs are barnbusters lol.

I thought Jones was strictly a RF/1B. If he can play some CF, that adds a lot to his usefulness.
I think Salazar has been the regular CF at Indy since Cutch came up, but can’t confirm on their official site — they still show him as LF.

Indy already has 4 errors…leading to 4 unearned runs…they are behind 7-2 in the 5th.
Altoona already has 3 errors, including errors on consecutive plays by Gorkys. Curve up 5-4 in the 5th.
Lynchburg only has 1 error, by Locke…but it led to 3 unearned runs. Lynchburg getting hammered 11-3…Locke gave up 5 earned runs in addition to the 3 above.
WV…was rain delayed…game in 2nd inning…Sanchez is playing…and threw a runner out in the first. Owens 1 IP so far, 2 H, 1 K.

probably poor fielder conditions. Barnwell (normally MI, 2 throwing errors at 3rd), Myrow a missed catch at 1B (heard his best position is DH), Pedro Lopez, normally an infielder, made one in LF as well.
Indy outfield tonight is Pedro Lopez, Luis Cruz and Larry Broadway.

Capps to inherit (at least) a 3 run lead
That sounds about right to me.
by WstCstBucco on Jun 30, 2009 9:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He needs AT LEAST a 2-run lead. I just don’t have the same faith in Capps that I did two years ago.

Cubs bullpen looking good so far
Chicago reporter interviewed on Colin Cowherd show this a.m. was putting it down big time.
Said it’s always nice to see the Cubs hire the homeless and give them jobs pitching relief for the Cubbies.

I finally found a little GOOD defense in the minors.
Evidently…the Cleveland system didn’t get the scouting reports on the arm of Tony Sanchez. In his first start for WV…he’s gunned out Lake County’s top base stealer…twice.
Rudy Owens through 4 innings, 4 H, 2 K, scoreless game.

What’s funny is that we could have had Ryan Howard for Wells.
Thankfully, Littlefield knew that was a lowball offer, so now we have Chavez.

He's looking like he could close
if Capps had problems. There are a few teams that need a strong armed reliever for the 8th or 9th. We might be able to move him for something of some valeue

I'd like to think that the Front Office
would deal Jesse. For better or worse, Capps is one of the faces of the organization and the fanbase would again be upset if he’s traded. Less so, I think if Jesse is shipped out. I doubt they’ve been rioting in the streets over the Hinske trade, but folks we’ll be up in arms over losing NyjMO
