Campillo looked good too. Change was really working. Wlad is looking great, but the big hits in the 9th were by Mike Morse after a long AB and then Jeff Clement with a walk-off 2b. Hell of a game. Oh, and Lincecum is who we thought he was. 99MPH in the first, with an 84 MPH change and 86 with a slider/curve (as Dave has said before, Campillo's fb was 86). He didn't even have great command tonight, and he still made the Rainiers look silly. I really don't know how they can keep him down at this point. He's ahead of where Felix was in 2005, though of course Felix had just turned 19 then. Ha! just as I thought…didn’t score on Tim, but got to the bullpen and snuck the 2-1 victory.

But I've watched all 4 home games and so far have seen Navarro make 4 errors (2 each in 2 games) and blow a game-tying bunt last night. Oh, and he's sitting at .189/.268/.189. I have MUCH fonder memories and thought much more of Asdrubal. Admittedly, small sample size thus far this season.

They demoted him after last season. Also, want Asdrubal Cabrera back?

Parque's ERA is mostly about his first outing. his second, on Saturday, wasn't great but it wasn't horrible either. It was Brad Thomas in relief that cost us the game on Saturday, as Parque left with a good lead. Byron Embry looked pretty good last night, judging from the dumbfounded expressions on the Rivercats batters' faces as they trudged back to the dugout. Also, Ryan Rowland-Smith pitched VERY nice relief on Saturday, and Feierabend did pretty well given the conditions last night... So there are more than just a couple potential bright spots. Huber has looked...troubled though. (But not as troubled as Navarro, who can't seem to field OR lay down a bunt). #6.

He pitched because the game was a blowout; this was the 16-1 loss to Fresno on 4/9. He's in AAA because every team needs a few AAA vets to pad out the roster. The Rainiers had Jose Morban and Scott Youngbauer last year - this is the 2007 model. He's actually hardly playing at all, considering the Rainiers have a large number of semi-prospect IFs. Pete,

Also, why did he log an inning on the mound, was there a huge 15-inning game? Couple of questions for Dave, or anyone who knows:
