Well, we're promoting it in the thread title, as late word is that Will Inman will pitch on normal four days' rest Friday night in the doubleheader nightcap.

 

It's too bad audio doesn't archive yet on the AAA and AA level, as I'm sure there's plenty of interest in Brewers - Twins this evening, naturally. But on the minor league front, all the focus right now has to be on Huntsville's playoff push this weekend. Flip over to the nightcap audio with Brett Pollock and Bryan Neece after the Brewer game should the second game still be live.

 

Surely the Huntsville Times, along with David Weiser, will keep us fully updated early Saturday AM, and we'll link to them here as always.

 

It seems every day, we're featuring a stud starter in the previews -- Gallardo (well, y'know), Parra, Inman, Braddock (tonight), Jeffress, etc. Good times, kids, good times...

[Will Inman Fan]

Hey Hass, Can you get me the e-mail addy for the Stars anouncers? You know how I am http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Thanks

[brettac1]

Congrats and best of luck to your brother in Huntsville!

 

Can't wait to see him in Milwaukee.

[Mass Haas]

Brett Pollock (bio below) would love to hear from fans pre-, during, or post-game at:

It would be an understatement to say that this is a huge night for Huntsville. Congratulations and good luck to Inman.

[Will Inman Fan]

Thanks for all the e-mails and comments! This is a huge day for the whole Inman Family. Luckily Dad has been there to help with the move and everything~ What an awesome Fathers day Present! Thanks again for all of the support and I cant wait till tonight!!

PS I hope he doesnt strike out http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif LOL

[Mass Haas]

PS I hope he doesnt strike out

 

Actually, because Birmingham is an American League affiliate, they'll use the DH for this series.

[Boy Jeenius]

John Alonso with a jack jackety jack. Steve Chapman with a spectacular diving catch, Braddock dealing............business as usual for the Power. It's the uniforms - superman suits.

[Boy Jeenius]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Braddock leaves the game injured in the bottom of the 3rd. Not good. No news yet as to what it is.

[Mass Haas]

Don Money with a quick hook on Sam Narron tonight, Corey Thurman on in the 2nd -- Stars down 4-0 in Game One. Remember, both games seven innings tonight.

[Mass Haas]

Final, Game One: Birmingham (White Sox) 4, Huntsville 2

 

Down 4-2 in the bottom of the 6th in this seven-inning game, the Stars had a golden chance and the right men at the plate, but no:

 

Huntsville Bottom 6th

 

- Mel Stocker singles on a line drive to center fielder Sean Smith.

- With Michael Brantley batting, Mel Stocker steals (15) 2nd base.

- Michael Brantley walks.

- Steven Sollmann out on a sacrifice bunt, pitcher Jack Egbert to second baseman Victor Mercedes. Mel Stocker to 3rd. Michael Brantley to 2nd.

- Pitcher Change: Fernando Hernandez Jr. replaces Jack Egbert.

- Lou Palmisano strikes out swinging.

- Brendan Katin pops out to second baseman Victor Mercedes

Tennessee is losing, 3-0, in the 8th...

[Mass Haas]

Stars Magic Number down to 3, as Tennessee loses to West Tenn, 4-2.

 

Go Mr. Inman!

[Mass Haas]

Final: West Virginia 8, Lake County (Indians) 3

 

West Virginia Box Score:

Details from power site shortly, but Zach Braddock's early departure puts a damper on things -- arm injury, as the game log notes; Jimmy Mojica, Steve Chapman, and John Alonso on base three times apiece, Alonso with the big first-inning three-run HR; over 5.500 in Charleston...

West Virginia Game Log:

Lake County baserunner thrown out trying to steal third base to end an 8-3 game, yeah, that's smart...

[And That]

Not good for Inman...

 

But it'll get better.

The Stars pitching sure hasn't been good tonight... unless they have a huge comeback it's a dead heat to the wire for the first half championship.

[Mass Haas]

Not making an excuse -- Will didn't shine tonight, but you have to question that while he was pitching on normal rest, he was asked to basically travel via plane this AM and pitch on the same day. Corey Thurman could have been scheduled to pitch the nightcap with Will pushing Steve Hammond and Lindsay Gulin back a day.

 

Now it's going to be tough to get three things to go right out of four this weekend to clinch the division and avoid a Monday tiebreaker scenario. And now there's no starter, literally, for Monday if that's the case. Maybe you bring back Narron on two days rest after a very short night tonight, but I doubt it.

 

Some poor judgement setting things up for the weekend, in my opinion...

[Mass Haas]

Walk-off HR Joe Dillon! Sounds win! Details shortly...

[Mass Haas]

Final: Nashville 6, Omaha (Royals) 5, ten innings

Details from Sounds site shortly; Nashville now only 1/2 game out of first place -- no split season in the PCL...

 

Nashville Box Score:

Joe Dillon's walkoff was his second HR of the night...

 

www.minorleaguebaseball.c...a_nasaaa_1

 

Nashville Game Log:

Luther Hackman with a dramatic bailout of Dennis Sarfate in the 8th, but he blew the save in the 9th, leading to Dillon's extra-inning heroics...

[And That]

Not making an excuse -- Will didn't shine tonight, but you have to question that while he was pitching on normal rest, he was asked to basically travel via plane this AM and pitch on the same day. Corey Thurman could have been scheduled to pitch the nightcap with Will pushing Steve Hammond and Lindsay Gulin back a day.

 

Steve Hammond is still one of the Brewers' better prospects... they wouldn't push him back for Will Inman. And if Inman had a problem with an airplane flight on his starting pitching day, he will have to iron out a lot of things by the time he makes it to the bigs.

 

I am much less concerned with Inman having a bad outing than Inman having a healthy AA debut. The Stars don't win the Southern League because of Will Inman starting today... who cares? Will Inman started today.
