But he got an RBI

TX announcers just informed me that Lawyerson has been excellent for TC.

Gray 0-5, only starter without a hit tonight. 

Get well soon Kaelen.

Update from Cedar Rapids:  Jenkins hit his second 3 run jack in the bottom of the 8th inning to give the Kernels an 18-12 lead.  The Kernels have now outscored the average point total for the Iowa Hawkeyes football team.

I wonder what games they were watching.

He came in the bottom of the 8th as a defensive replacement.  Would you expect Shelton to pinch hit for him knowing there is still a bottom of the 9th?

Yes. In this case. Absolutely. Martin could hit and play right. Manage the whole game. 

[Mike Sixel]

I hope you watched Messi tonight. Wow.

They must be talking about pre-IL Laweryson.

Actually it was Graham Brown pinch hitting for Jenkins. I have been watching the minor leagues fellows on the little screen.

I wonder how badly i would need to jinx the team to lose tonight... That sounds like quite a challange.

For the last month, people on this site have been screaming for Fedko to be called up to the big leagues and let him get AB's.  He gets a start last night and is able to get some playing time tonight in a blowout win.  I thought we wanted Fedko to get some AB's?  Then let him get some AB's, regardless of who it is against.

Thank you for the update.  The story sounded fun, but it should be accurate. 🙂

It was Genesis Cabrera in the 7th. 8th yet to be determined.

And they went to Abraham Toro so AAA also saw a position player on the mound.

Twins playing well. Hope Joe Ryan can close Texas out on Thursday afternoon. The team could really use a sweep.

I was watching it live. Brown hits right-handed. They had not changed the name in the box score or on the screen until well after the home run. If you know the players it isn't confusing but otherwise it can be easy to get mixed up when names are not updated.

Jenkins with another homer for Cedar Rapids. That’s pretty neat.

Box score was slow to update. He was pinch hit for. Wrong guy darn it. 

[krink]

Flawless night! Nice to have a few good ones after all those loses - let’s hope the midweek break doesn’t kill the momentum!

[amjgt]

Does this technically count as a get-away day win?

Fake(and old)news. The 2025 Iowa Hawkeyes averaged over 29 points per game…and a shellacking of the Gophers 41-3 helped in boosting that average!

They were offensively offensive a few years ago…. but not anymore. So get your facts straight. Most Gopher fans would trade a nut for the Hawks football success over the last 40 years! 
Floyd of Rosedale is pretty much a full time resident in the Hawkeye State!

So with all due respect sir, carry on.😉

PS. Gophers averaged 23 points per game last season 😮

Purely of academic interest.

Like how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason there is no game today?

Might it have to do with football?

 

(Well.... futbol?)
