FRI MINORS Championships: ROME WINS; Gwinnett eliminated

[chop2chip]

I know I keep saying it, but I don't understand why the Dbacks gave up on him so quickly. I know it's always hard to say like it's nothing, but he COULD be our best pitching prospect.

The Diamondbacks had to cover for the extra 8 million in tax they didn't know they had to spend on Yoan Lopez. Poor D'back fans

Excited to see if Ellis can build off or just repeat his last start. What a game for him in the first round.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Chip Carrey's favorite pitcher is going for SWB tonight. man I didn't realize Coke has been around this long.. wonder if he gets jittery shortly after starting the game

 

[bravesfanMatt]

half way home and G-Braves up 1-0 Ellis running some deep scary counts but getting everyone out but for 3 walks..

Go Braves!!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Ellis has to be done... 6 ip of no hit ball. 4 BB (3 were with 2 outs) 5 K...

What's got into him? Isn't this back-to-back shutout performances in the playoffs?

This is more like an Ellis start.. deep counts with walks.. but still very quality start again. lets hope the pen can hold this lead

6 more outs to go!!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

combined no hitter is gone.. but through 8, G-Braves still up 1-0...

Gwinnett's pitcher is melting down

I am yelling at my phone. "Throw a $#@#$ strike."

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I am yelling at my phone. "Throw a $#@#$ strike."

yeah.. will be going back to Gwinnett tied... walk, walk, HBP, walk to tie the game... awesome!!

AND WALK!!.. Roney has been good, but they both should be benched the rest of this series for that **** performance

Then a walk of walk. At least give your team an opportunity by making them hit the ball.

If you're going to talk the talk you have walk the walk the walk . . .

Terribly disappointing. Roney had a stellar performance the other night but it appears he couldn't hit the ocean from the shore last night.

I am pissed STILL!! Ellis and Youngier had control issues but held them to one hit in 9 innings.. then for Roney and Mateos to come in and not even try.. unacceptable.

With the kind of lines he can put up, you had to figure we were behind the eight ball when he took the bump.

I like where Rome sits with Allard and Fried going next.

And even down 0-2, I think Mississippi has a decent shot to tie it up with Weigel and Povse on deck.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I think last nights game was the end for the GBraves. Crushing.

 

[thewupk]

Riley with a homer to put Rome up early

 

[nsacpi]

Four shutout innings from Allard so far. 7 K's against 1 walk.

 

[Hudson2]

That whole Rome roster is ridiculous. That's gonna be a fun group to watch as they come to the show.
