A 3 a.m. wake up call in New Orleans, a three-hour layover in Chicago and a two-run first inning in Omaha made it seem like Friday could be a long night for the New Orleans Zephyrs. Then one ground ball to third base and a heads-up play by Justin Bour turned the tide.The Marlins' No. 16 prospect helped turn a first-inning triple play, then belted a two-run homer as Triple-A New Orleans rallied to capture their series opener at Omaha, 5-3.
With two runs already across in the first and runners at first and second with none out for the Storm Chasers, Royals No. 15 prospect Cheslor Cuthbert bounced a grounder to third. Derek Dietrich stepped on the bag for the first out of the inning and threw across to Bour at first base for the second. Dietrich's peg was low and, as Bour dug it out, Omaha's Moises Sierra rounded second base too far. Bour threw behind him to second baseman Scott Sizemore, who tossed to shortstop Miguel Rojas for the tag that completed the triple play.
"[Dietrich] threw it in the dirt, which is why I think [Sierra] rounded a little bit," Bour said. "I picked it, and when I came up after I picked it, he just didn't stop. That's when I made the throw and got him out.
"It was huge. That had the potential to be a big inning, and to get three outs in however long it took, ten seconds, was huge for us."
Bour, who also played a role in the Zephyrs' last triple play, erased his team's early deficit when he followed Jordany Valdespin's leadoff triple in the fourth with a one-out homer, his first of the season. In the sixth, it was Rojas' turn when the shortstop belted his first long ball, another two-run blast that put the Zephyrs ahead for good.
"I feel like we've had a bit of a problem piecing things together," Bour said. "I think today's one of those days where we kind of clicked there. Some guys came up big.
"We've all been up probably 19 straight hours. Everyone came in and was pretty excited, started yelling and having a good time. It's pretty good after a game like that to come out with a 'W' and take that momentum into the rest of the series."
After giving up two in the first, Zephyrs starter -- and Marlins No. 8 prospect -- Adam Conley (1-1) settled down to only allow one more run through six innings.
"You've got to give him credit," Bour said. "He stuck in there, never really changed his composure, kept battling. I feel like he was throwing harder at the very end than he was at the beginning. You've got to really appreciate that, that attitude and that drive."
The Zephyrs went 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position as Storm Chasers starter Christian Binford (0-1) gave up four runs on nine hits in six innings.

Awesome.

Rojas hitting somewhat ok so far. If he hits at all, he becomes very interesting with his glove.

Learn to respect the fucking game and pick up baseballs when told to.

Learn to respect the fucking game and pick up baseballs when told to.

Pretty much this-if Dietrich ever loses his tounge or becomes a mute he might get a call up from us. Seriously tho he is down there to build up some trade value. The only teams that wouldnt have him up in the majors are Us and whatever team pays Tino Martinez as a instructor

[dim]

I absolutely hate how we've killed Dietrich's development the past few years. Either let him be on the majors (even if that means the bench with Dee being good) or trade him to a team that will use him and not waste his career away.

First bad game by Wittgren this year.

Mason Davis is also continuing what he did in Batavia last year. .324 BA and .842 OPS in his GBoro start thus far. I was excited about his potential development but also wary given his draft spot. Good to see he might be the legitimate prospect to follow I thought he was.

[HUGG]

This Shoemaker cat is off to a hot start. Career .299/.393/.475 minor league hitter and a doubles machine (39 per 550ab). But also too old for every level and he's turns 28 in May. Would be kinda cool to see him earn his way into a cup of coffee up here.


Growing up following a AAA team closer than any major league team is why I always end up rooting for guys like this. Can't help it.
