Funny thing is neither team scored in the 6th or 7th.

 

[andyouare?]

What's the game time on that sumbitch? 4-5 hours?

I'd be on the crisis hotline by the 5th inning.

It doesn't seem fair for the first pitcher to get the loss.

 

[buckweaver]

Cal League, baby. Strange things happen in Adelanto.

It doesn't seem fair? The clown gave up 8 runs in 2/3 of an inning.


What's bizarre is the starter for Lake Elsinore had 18-3 and 22-6 leads and couldn't make it through 5 to get the win!

He probably reached his pitch limit. That's always a factor in this league and most minor leagues.

Or maybe it was the 11 runs and 13 hits he gave up.

No doubt pitchers suffering from the heat.

When I saw the thread title, I figured it was afl2 or something of that nature.

 

[sportschick]

I like the guy with the 135.0 ERA.

 

[Mark2010]

Is he THAT cute?

 

[MileHigh]

Cal League, baby. Strange things happen in Adelanto.

Yup. The wind blows like crazy at that launching pad.

 

[Football_Bat]

I see High Desert kicked a couple of field goals.

 

[playthrough]

I like the guy with the 135.0 ERA.

I'm more impressed by both starters, after their nights of suckitude, having the same 4.54 ERA.

 

[Cosmo]

Teams combined for 10 home runs. SIX Lake Elsinore players had at least four hits, one had five. And congrats to High Desert DH Joseph Dunigan for taking a collar in a game with a combined 58 hits.

The guy with the 135.0 ERA was the starting catcher, so I suppose that can be forgiven.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

the starting pitcher for high desert is a local product. that's most likely the worst outing he's had, counting high school.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Clark.

Matt Clark?

California League is some good minor league baseball. High A and AA is probably the most fun to watch. Players have had some success and they haven't peaked or plateaued yet.

I agree. AA is where you see the kids coming up that can play. AAA has a few of these as well, but it's also full of retreads, dead-enders and "tweener" guys.
