Memphis Redbirds started with 2 straight losses to Oklahoma, Reyes pitched in the first game, he lasted 6 innings with 9 hits, 4 runs (3 earned) and 3 strikeout. He didn't take the loss because the game went to the extrainnings, Memphis lost in the 13th (Benes was the loser). Spivey was 2 for 4 (but 1 fielding error), Duncan 3 for 6.
In the second game, 9-5 loss with Spivey batting first (1-4 with a run and a walk) and Duncan stroke out 3 times. Webb pitched 5 innings, 6 hits 2 runs 1 walk and 5 so for him, losers was Smith and there's also a bad outing from Johnson.

Springfield started as Memphis, 0W and 2L

[Sberl]

Another loss for Memphis, third straight...this time the loser is Leek. Spivey went 1/4, 1 double but another fielding error (2 in 3 games) and Duncan went 1/3 with 1 Rbi double. Benes also pitched in the game, giving up 2 runs in 2 innings.
First win for Springfield, good game by Pomeranz (6 inning, 5 hits, 1 run, 1bb and a strikeout)

Awful start for the Redbirds, they lose day after day...

[Sberl]

Redbird are still seeking for first win of the season, they're 0-9 right now and tonight they play the second home game against Omaha.
Spivey is hitting .257 with a .422 OBP, 5 runs and 1 RBI (2 errors), Duncan is hitting .200 with .257 OBP, 3 run 4 RBI and 2 HR (1 error), Gall is hitting .400 with 3 runs and 8 RBI (1 error)
Reyes started 2 games, 2 no-decision, 2.25 ERA in 12 innings

[Sberl]

And finally they get the first win of the year! 10-3 against Omaha!

[Sberl]

Memphis has a 3-12 record...not good!

[skeletor]

memphis is hurting

not a good start for the AAA REDBIRDS...TALENT is pretty thin
as the cards, haven't done a good job, in restocking the farm..

Springfield Cardinals

Look out for Rico Washington. He has got some serious talent. The Springfield Cardinals are playing some good ball right now.

[Sberl]

Memphis is 9-18 right now, Springfield 17-11

[TheKingofKings]

Skip is on fire batting .343 with a Homer and 6 RBIs in 10 Games .

michel hernandez has put up decent numbers for a catcher. i've never heard of him. does anyone know anything about him? the redbirds' website is awful when it comes to providing info on players, so if someone could fill me in i'd appreciate it...

[wolverine0712]

Hernandez was a minor league free agent. He was place on the 40-man when they signed him. Before Bennett was signed, I think they were planning on him to be the back up catcher. I don't know much else.

[tonjes]

how old is he?
