Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

9/10 Minors Playoff thread

Ok, up for the Riders is Neftali "Gasoline" Feliz. Since the Rangers' pitching was horrendous today, let's hope Neftali can follow up Dutch (even though it was a loss) with a strong performance. Going for NW Arky, is Mosebach.

For the Redhawks, it's Derek Lee vs. Chris Gassel for the Rivercats. Hawks need this one after losing 8-4 last night. That game doesn't start till 9:"05 so should be over about the time the Riders are finishing up the win also.That 75 words yet?

i dont think so

too crowded. cruz needs to play every single game the rest of the year, no question. hammy is going to play.
id rather let boggs play the rest of the year than JMJ if cruz gets pushed.

at least as far as real playing time. letting him get a game or two and hang around for a bit.. sure.

plus murphy will probably still try to get a week in at least.

I'd sit Murphy...

the rest of the year. I don’t see a whole lot of reason to play him for a week at the end of the season.

Hamiton could use a day or 2 off each week the next 3 weeks and Byrd could use 3 or 4 games off a week the rest of the season. I would rather see JMJ get a few AB’s right now over Byrd and Murphy.

Shit...

Neftali is a little nervous I think…2 walks in the 1st.

by TxStCa on Sep 10, 2008 7:25 PM CDT reply actions  

Ummm

Nef? 2 runs in the 1st? Thank god this is his last start (or it should be). I think he’s gassed (minus the last start)

Neftali's line...

6 5 3 2 2 6 0.

A fairly average line for him. Still pretty good after a little bit of control issues in the first.

OKC up...

6-2 in the 4th.

Let’s hope they can hold on to even that series as well.

Favorable pitching matchups

With Oklahoma up 10-2 in the 6th, it appears that both the Redhawks and RoughRiders will return home tied 1-1 in their best-of-five series. In addition to having three home games to win the two necessary to take championships, it appears that both teams will benefit from favorable pitching matchups in Games 3 and 4.

RoughRiders vs Travelers

Game 3
Schlact (sub 3.00 ERA in August) vs Denham (>8.00 ERA in August)

Game 4
Hyatt (sub 3.00 ERA in August) vs Austen (~5 ERA in August)

Redhawks vs River Cats
Game 3
Hunter (2.00 ERA in August) vs Mazzaro (6.00 ERA in August)

Game 4
Ballard (~5.00 ERA in August) vs Knox (>6.00 ERA in August)

It would be very nice...

if they could both pull out the championships.

I think it would be a first

I haven’t found any other season that three Ranger minor league teams won championships.

If they have...

it certainly predates my fandom.
