TOM O’SHEA’S MINOR LEAGUE REPORT        7-2-09

THE OGDEN RAPTORS       ROOKIE

Orem drop kicks the Raptors over the desert mountains and into the sun set 14-6.

VASQUEZ (L, 0-1, 9.35), started and there is nothing nice that can be said about his pitching.  In fact, every hurler for the Raptors gave up more earned runs than they pitched innings so it’s best to try and forget they even tried to be professional pitchers on July 2nd lest you lose your temper and start looking for  4 strong ropes and 4 appropriate trees.  Little League teams have made better collective efforts.

THE OGDEN RAPTORS    ROOKIE 

The Raptors win, beating Orem 6-5 in 11 innings..

The Raptors got a very mediocre start from CONTRERES (5.63), who lasted just 3 innings and gave up 5 runs (4 earned), on 5 hits and 3 walks.  WIBORN (3.00), AMES (1.42), RONDON (0.00), AND GUADI (W, 1-1, 10.13) all looked very impressive blanking the Orem squad the final 8 innings on 7 its, 0 walks and 110 Ks collectively.  The Raptors might not have much in the way of starters, but their bullpen is looking  stellar.

MANNY WATCH:

They finally located MANNYMAN and he played Saturday.  He apparently had been skipping rocks into Lake Elsinore Friday night while the 66ers played without him.  But Saturday he played, and looks like he’d be ready for the 3rd if he only had to face advanced A pitching.  The 66ers had him lead off and he clobbered a home run in the first at bat of the game!  He ended up 2-2 with a walk, 1 rbi and 2 runs scored leaving him with a 1.000 batting average with the 66ers and a .250 average overall.  His OBP at A Advanced is a whopping 1.500 and .400 overall (that’s after 7  total abs in 5 possible games.
