Minor League Week 6 Games (6/8 - 6/13/21)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Thursday Game Updates:

Low A Lynchburg still has not resumed the suspended game, due to more rain today.. I haven't seen who is taking the mound for continuing the action for either squad yet.

Call it a hunch but they will likely try to wait out the rain today & try to complete the suspended game from Weds. They will likely PPD the regular game & try to make it up as part of a double header later in the series (so there are 2 7 inning games scheduled for a single day)..
-------------------------------------------

AA Akron game at Altoona has been postponed/ rained out. According to the milb mobile app, the game will be made up on Saturday 6/12/21...

More Thursday Game updates:

High A Lake County is underway. Will Brennan hit a leadoff double for the Captains. BTW: Matt Waldron (of the Clevinger trade to the SD Padres) is starting against his former teammates today.

Low A Lynchburg is also underway. Going into the 4th now. Vinicio onto pitch for Hillcats (in relief of Daniel Espino's start on Weds).
------------------------------
 
I have to be honest, I took a look at the stats of Miguel Vincio & I would be more interested in seeing him start a game instead of Sergio Morillo.

Morillo: 5 gms/ 5 starts/ 9.2 IP/ whip of 2.483
Vincio: 5 gms/ 0 starts/ 19.1 IP/ whip of 1.09
 
More Thursday Gm updates:

AAA Columbus is underway. No score in top of the 1st at Iowa.

High A Lake County is tied 1-1 at Fort Wayne. Game is heading into the 5th.
Nice outing so far for Logan T Allen. 4 IP, 3 hits, 2 walks, 1 run (unearned), 5 ks. 47 pitches/ 29 strikes.

Low A Lynchburg is trailing 4-0 going into the bottom of the 6th in the resumed game from Weds night. Interestingly all 4 runs given up (by 2 different pitchers/ in 2 different innings) are unearned..

Columbus gave up 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th making it 8-5...

LC is down the their last outs in the top of the 9th down 4-3

Lynchburg lost 8-2...

Edit: A fielding error allows a run to score in the LC game, so now it's all tied up ...

I actually like to see guys like Brooks do well... This is his first season playing 1B, otherwise he has been actually a fairly decent RF, but he needs to hit all season, in the past he has never actually done that. He is taking more walks than he ever has before, so let's see if he can keep it up...
 
More Thursday gm updates:

High A Lake County loses in extras 5-4. Strange play to tie it & then another strange play for Fort Wayne to walk it off..

The lead for AAA Columbus is down to 8-6 in the bottom of the 7th in Iowa.

As I suspected earlier in the evening, the 2nd game for Lynchburg tonight was postponed. Word is it will be made up on Friday 6/11 (so a 2 game double header with both games being 7 inning affairs).
--------------------------------------------
 
Final Thursday gm updates:

AAA Columbus wins 9-7 in Iowa.

CLE affiliates go 1-2 on the day.
They are now 5-5 on the week with a run diff of +5 on the week.

Other notes:
How instrumental has #Indians 19yr old (1B/3B) prospect Jhonkensy Noel been to the (Low A) @LynHillcats lineup & team success? Noel is currently sidelined again with an ankle injury.
Hillcats with Noel = (13-4)
Hillcats without Noel = (3-11)

OF Jordan Luplow is starting a rehab assignment with Columbus (in Iowa) tonight. He is hitting 3rd and serving as the DH..

AA Akron wins 7-5

High A Lake County wins 8-5

AAA Columbus now trails 6-1 in the bottom of the 6th

Edit:
LHRP Anthony Gose is back with Columbus and has entered the game in the bottom of the 6th... He is getting hit around. Iowa now leads 8-1 over the Clippers..

Luplow is currently 0-2 with a walk & a k already.

C Ryan Lavarnway was not in the lineup tonight for the Clippers. IF the Tribe needs to call him up, getting from Des Moines, IA should not too difficult. While no direct flights to CLE or Akron, it does have multiple flights to both Chicago & Detroit..

Game/Player updates..

High-A - Game over. W
LC wins 8 to 5. FW threatened to make it interesting in the bottom of the 9th.. Quentin Holmes continues scorching the ball - going 3-5 with a 2run HR and 2 Ks. Pretty much everyone else chipped in with a hit, run, rbi or all 3 with Donovan and Delgado missing out completely. Barely 20 year old (3/20/01) Jose Tena gets overlooked a little bit with all the talent around him, but he is another contact heavy MIF having a really nice season. 286/336/500 on the year with 8 doubles 2 triples 4 homers and 4SB/1CS. There is a little swing and miss in his game, and not much of a walker... Could hit a wall as the breaking stuff gets better, or he could become a big time prospect. Tanner Burns with another great outing 5IP 1H 0R/ER 3BB 6K. Got better as the game went on - fantastic to see. Reliever Kellen Rholl continues to struggle though, giving up 3ER on 1H 1BB and a balk in 0 innings. Ouch. ERA up to 13.50 on the year.

AA - Game over. W
Akron wins 7-5 over Altoona. Oscar Gonzalez hits another HR!!! 8 on the year a GW 3 run shot in the 8th.. 3-4 on the night with 1R 5RBI and a K. Richard Palacios with a hit and 2Rs and Alex Call with a hit 2Rs and his 8th SB on the year.. Shane McCarthy was cruising but smashed into a wall in the 5th giving up 5R/4ER, final line 4.1IP 6H 5R/4ER 0BB 4K 2HRs. Aaron Pinto with another clean inning 1IP 0H, 0R/ER, 0BB 2K and the save.

AAA - In progress, likely L.
Columbus getting toasted - 8-1 in the bottom of the 6th.. Daniel Johnson with a 2B and a BB, Ernie Clement with a hit and a run.. Scott Moss only goes 1.2IP 4H 2R/2ER 1BB 2K. Anthony Gose is back and getting a rough welcome.
