Touch ‘Em All – September 8, 2009

by PTownFan

PTown Pollyanna’s prayerful predictions partly prevailed yesterday. Jonny Gomes went yard, a two run shot, and needs only 3 more dingers to equal his career high of 21 home runs.  Tommy Everidge had a much needed hit as the Cats ended their skid, and Konrad Schmidt wrapped up his AAA call-up with a 3-for-5 three RBI day.  And Brandon Morrow’s Tacoma Rainiers made the playoffs so he’ll be pitching to Everidge … Read More »

Touch ‘Em All: Sunday, September 6

by PTownFan

JONNY GOMES (OF, Cincinnati Reds, MLB – Casa Grande HS): The Cincinnati Reds, trolling the infield for 2010 outfield talent, put Jonny’s hot bat in the rack yesterday and started Drew Sutton in left field instead.  They want to see if the utility infielder might be super-utility caliber.  Whatever.  Just glad the Reds won anyway. JOEY GOMES (DH/1B, Edmonton Capitals, IND Golden League – Casa Grande HS): The agony of defeat followed the … Read More »

Big night comin’ up for Joey Gomes and Steve Pearson.  Gomes’ Capitals are playing for their post-season lives tonight in Calgary and Pearson’s Wingnuts are playing for the Division Title. JONNY GOMES (OF, Cincinnati Reds, MLB – Casa Grande HS): Gomes knocked home run number 17 yesterday against the NL Wild Card hopeful Atlanta Braves, keying a 3-1 win and further befuddling those who say Jonny can’t hit righties.  That’s dinger number … Read More »

Touch ‘em all – Thursday, September 3rd

by PTownFan

TOMMY EVERIDGE (1B, Oakland Athletics, MLB – Sonoma HS): o-for-2 with a run scored and two walks in last night’s 5-4 loss to the Reno Aces.  The Cats have dropped two in a row to Reno and last night, former fan favorite Eric Byrnes was the bad guy that scored the go ahead run.   Sonoma’s Brett Wallace continues to rake for Sacramento with another 2-for-3, two RBI night. JONNY GOMES (OF, … Read More »

PHS Grad Konrad Schmidt To AAA Reno Aces

by PTownFan

Sweet!  Petaluma High’s, Konrad Schmidt got a callup to AAA to catch for the Reno Aces.  Nice reward for that  4-for-4 three RBI night he had earlier this week.  The team’s other catcher, Luke Carlin, is a consistent hitter, batting .309 so at bats may be scarce, but Konrad is scheduled to start Monday night. It will be a brief homecoming for Schmidt who played for the University of Nevada Reno. … Read More »

by PTownFan

TOMMY EVERIDGE (1B, Oakland Athletics, MLB – Sonoma HS): Finally got to chat with Tommy in an A’s uniform on an absolutely perfect day for baseball at the Oakland Coliseum.  Or whatever they’re calling it these days.  Everidge hit some balls hard that day, but has hit a rough patch the last few weeks with his average slipping to .224.  He made a few adjustments and crushed his second Major League … Read More »
