Sunday’s game against the Portland Beavers featured Enrique Gonzalez on the mound for the Winders. While he struggled in the first inning, overall Enrique had a lot more of his “stuff” working; throwing 92 pitches with 6 strikeouts and only one walk! He also had a hit and scored a run to round out his day’s work. Neither team was charged any errors and the Tucson bats had 10 hits, for four runs. Daigle had another iffy relief appearance, but both Bill Murphy and Chad Harville threw outstanding innings to complete the game. The Beavers lost the game 4 to 3, for a series split.
Following the Lincecum Story. Ryan Radtke has obviously gotten “Lincecum fever” from the Giants, other scouts and baseball ranking folks… You may remember Tucson’s outing against Tim in Fresno last week (see blog entry for Apr 24), where Tucson scored the only run (though unearned) against the kid to that point in the season. The trend continues. Lincecum pitched unbelievable ball against the Sky Sox yesterday. In six innings, he gave up three hits, no runs, no walks, and had 14 strikeouts! His ERA looks like a misprint at .29. Heck, we think we’re doing good if our pitcher has a “2″ to the left of that ERA figure! Tim’s going to be fun to watch. As long as he is not pitching against the Winders!
The Things Mark Says! After listening to the Sidewinders game on Sunday, I turned on the TV to watch the end of the D-Backs’ win against the Giants. I’m not always enamored of the things Mark Grace says when working the games, but I really enjoyed one good pun he used yesterday. As Tony Pena threw a heater right by one batter, Mark said Tony’d gone all Linda Ronstadt on him: ”Blue Bayou.”
