Also, in the weather news, Memphis has code orange ozone warning.
Code Orange
TITLE

Memphis players will not be the only ones needing strap on oxyzen tanks.
Does Albuquerque have high ozone?

I'm hoping to see the Memphis Redbirds play great baseball and get 2 wins.
I want to come back and give a report that is all good.

I want Barden - SS , Freese - 3B , Hoffpauir - 2B , Anderson - C .
There will be others used, but I want to see those guys
and I hope that they impress in a good way.
Maybe, Anderson will start catching and throwing better. I hope. We need catchers.

OF - Rasmus, Haerther, and Stavinoha should be better than the other times I have seen them.
Mather looked good before. I want him to play in these games.

They will be two seven inning games.

Coop · 06-18-2008, 11:57 PM

After 4 innings of heat in Memphis, there was a cloud in just the right spot.
The weather changed to perfect. We saw 2 good games with two wins.
I'll write some about that next message.

Springfield won 15-4

Albuquerque Top 1st

Lorenzo Scott strikes out on foul tip.
Chris Barnwell doubles (17) on a line drive to left fielder Cody Haerther.

This was a bad error by Freese. He thought about the SS who was backing him up and an easy ground ball went off his glove.
Chris Barnwell scores.

Dallas McPherson strikes out swinging.

Walters came out of it OK. The batters weren't doing much on his slow pitches. I think he had movement and location.

Coop · 06-19-2008, 12:31 AM

At times Seddon was having problems and P.J. helped by striking out.
He should have left the bat on his shoulder.
He got a win with his pitching any way.
Besides the error he had good infielding.
The outfielders didn't get any difficult plays.
The game ended with Hoffpauir going back for a popup just in front of Rasmus.
A really good catch.
