Another fine outing from Honolulu's Jason Schmidt yesterday. The Sharks provided plenty of run support, scoring seven runs in the first inning and another two in the second. Vegas starter Anthony Reyes surrendered all nine runs in his 2.2 innings pitched. Reyes, whose ERA keeps rising and rising is now standing at 8.13 - almost Brett Myers territory. Schmidt, on the other hand, pitched six shutout innings, allowing only six hits and one walk, while striking out six. Schmidt improves to 9-2 on the season, becoming the first nine-game winner in the DMBL.The Sugar Bears pounded away on Hoboken again last night. Leading the way, none other than Marlon Anderson. Anderson was 3-4 with 4 runs and 7 RBIs. This marks the third time in four tries that the Sugar Bears have scored more than ten runs against the Cutters. Hoboken has now lost five in a row and has fallen one game below .500.
Sardine City's Josh Barfield has been sitting on the disabled list all weekend, waiting to be activated. The team doctors have pronounced Barfield fit to play as early as Saturday, but ownership has not activated him yet. Maybe it has something to do with Julio Lugo heating up over the last few games. Lugo is now batting .293 during his stint with the Straphangers. Barfield only hit .255 so far this year. "If they want to keep Julio, then cut me, man!" said an irate Barfield in an interview yesterday. But clubhouse officials are mum about the reasons for keeping Barfield on the DL. "We're not taking any chances with Josh, especially not when our club is hot" said second base coach Willie Randolph. When reminded that the team is actually in a three-game skid and lost six of seven, Randolph retorted "whatever, we got too many coaches on this team anyway."
