Roster moves:
The team put right-handed pitcher Chris Tierney on the retired list and center fielder Kevin Koski on the disabled list Sunday. Tierney, who is expected to remain with the team and could pitch for the Miners in 2008, is eligible to be re-activated in 30 days. Koski, who's nursing a broken bone in his wrist, is out at least two weeks, Pinto said.Sean Patrick was also put on the retired list.The moves opened up slots for new catcher Jason Arrowood and new left-handed pitcher Marcus McKenzie. Arrowood was one of the Frontier League's leading hitters in the first month of the season at Gateway. McKenzie could start tonight, Pinto said. The 6-foot, 190-pound rookie was 7-1 with a 6.61 ERA at Minnesota last spring.

Miners lose abunch-to not enough
Kalamazoo is now be added to the we can't beat these guys list. Along with Chil., Gateway. 16-4? are you kidding me? Keene hit a home run, and a sac fly. Chris Hall also hit a home run, but left the game hurt after trying to catch a foul ball. He was replaced by Byrant Perdomo. Eric Suttle also had an RBI.
WP: Dane DeValk (4-3) LP: Marcus Mckenzie (0-1)
Marcus Mckenzie and are the new Miners playing tonight for us. Arrowood is a catcher and I'm guessing is Wirth's replacement.

Wirth likely done this season
MARION – Rob Wirth hasn't called it a season, but will be out at least another four weeks after a Friday CAT scan revealed a broken bone in his wrist.Wirth, the Southern Illinois Miners' starting catcher for most of the season, will miss between four and six weeks after getting diagnosed with a broken hamate bone
I'm always optimistic, and I think we will make the playoffs. I plan on, hopefully, coming back," Wirth said as he watched Traverse City take batting practice prior to Friday's game. "Right now, I'm just trying to keep my legs in shape; trying to do anything I can to stay in good baseball shape, I guess. Right now I'm just trying to soak up this bad news."A .298 hitter, Wirth played in 52 games before taking a cut against River City Monday at Rent One Park.Wirth said he hurt the wrist holding the bat too hard or with an awkward swing that night. He scored 30 runs, third-best on the team, and was third on the squad in RBIs (31). Today he will be fitted with a cast, where his wrist will try to heal itself as the Miners try to get back into the wild card race.Doctors told Wirth surgery was probably not his best option, because the bone did not shift when it broke, but the prognosis did little to lessen the blow."It's really a three-prong hit," Miners manager Mike Pinto said. "You're losing a guy in the middle of the order, who hit four for us most of the year. You're losing a .300 hitter and a guy who knows every one of your pitchers, knows the league and calls our games.That's a big hit."Pinto said the wrist would be re-examined in about three weeks.Wirth, 26, wasn't sure if he would return to his hometown of Wonder Lake or stay with the team through its final five weeks of the regular season. Should the Miners make the postseason, the first round of the playoffs would fall in the sixth week of Wirth's rehabilitation."I'm just going to hang around, try to help the catcher, help these guys get to the playoffs, and see what happens," Wirth said.Pinto said he had not signed a catcher as of Friday, and that bullpen coach Sean Patrick should finish out the homestand on the roster as a catcher. Bryant Perdomo started Friday night's game.The Miners host Traverse City tonight and Sunday afternoon before heading to Kalamazoo (Mich.). Patrick was 0-for-2 at the plate Thursday night.ETC: The team held a 10 a.m. practice and took batting practice earlier than usual Friday. ... Griffin Bailey (1-0, 2.76 ERA) is scheduled to take the hill tonight for Southern Illinois against Ryan Gehring (4-6, 3.97) at 7:05. ... The Beach Bums were second in the league in attendance entering Friday's game but last in the Central Division at 25-34.

Miners lose 8-6
Metropoilos hit a home run, way to go Joey. we lost. We're now 29-30 and in a rut. We need to look into some stronger pitching. Some hitting would be nice, below .250 at 25+ games should be gone, 10+ errors at 25+ games, should be gone, era above 6 should be gone. And why is or was Chris hall batting 8th in the lineup when he is one of our best hitters. 8th? he's an rbi machine, maybe he should be in the 4 or 5 spot, but not 8. And yes, I can speak as someone who knows what he's talking about, I'm a Cubs fan, I know every way to lose their is. Our pitching is hurting us, stop the bleeding now, get rid of high era, no saves, no wins, too many er's. How many loses do we need to see some real changes. We trade 2 of our best pitchers, or at least good ones, when its pitching we need, Joey was a good pickup.

Joey Metropoulos was also acquired in trade action Monday, Joey seems to be a power hitter, I hope thats true, he plays 1B.
Bullpen coach activated: Sean Patrick, the Miners bullpen coach and an account executive for the club, will be activated as a catcher today for Southern Illinois. He is expected to be in the starting lineup for tonight's 7:05 p.m. game against Kalamazoo. Rob Wirth, the starting catcher, remains on the shelf with a wrist injury.
Pitcher Ryan Quigley broke his hand and was released because Pinto had no more room on the disabled list.

Miners trade all-stars Wooley, Logan
Taken from Justin Walker, Marion Daily Republican.
MARION -- Two of Southern Illinois' six all-stars will be gone Tuesday when the Miners take on the Kalamazoo Kings for the first time.
Miners manager Mike Pinto has traded righthanded starter Rob Wooley to the Sioux City Explorers of the American Association for a player to be named later and dealt lefthanded reliever Brian Logan to the Gateway Grizzlies in exchange for righthanded starter Chris Little.
Wooley, a former Milwaukee Brewers farmhand, leaves the Miners with a 4-2 record and 3.51 ERA after making 10 starts. He allowed 45 hits -- opponents batted just .228 against him -- but had 33 walks compared to 42 strikeouts in 51 1-3 innings.
Logan entered Monday's game with a 2.92 ERA after making a team-high 23 appearances. He gave up eight earned runs in 24 2-3 innings and struck out 29 batters while walking 21.
Logan pitched a perfect eighth inning Monday in the Miners' 5-2 win over River City.
Little has a 4-3 record this season, compiling 56 1-3 innings in 13 games, seven of them starts. He allowed just 20 earned runs for a 3.20 ERA -- ninth-best in the Frontier League after Sunday's games -- and gave up 31 hits, including just two home runs -- a remarkable number considering the Grizzlies play at hitter-friendly GCS Ballpark.
The Miners have faced Little five times this season and are responsible for two of his wins. In four relief appearances, the Miners managed just four hits and scored one run. In a start on July 2, Little went eight innings and gave up eight hits and three runs. He did not factor into the decision.
The 6-foot-3 hurler walked just eight batters in his 21 games this season while racking up 24 strikeouts. Opponents have batted .248 against him. Little has a 4.61 ERA in five minor league seasons.
Little will start for the Miners on Wednesday when they face Kalamazoo at Rent One Park.

In front of less than 4500 fans, The Miners took out River city 5-2. Chris Hall hit a Center Field bomb in the bottom of the 4th. Ralph Santana made a fantastic play diving on a broken bat drive that he made look easy. Also, Willie Keene made a great throw from left field. Koski is hurt, his wrist is still sore so he'll miss a few more games. They handed out Eric Vega baseball cards to the 1st 1000 fans at the game, but Vega was no longer a Miner, ooops.

Miners win with walk-off hit in bottom of the 18th Inning.
Bottom of the 9th, 3-0 Florence leading, Its sort of raining, we got around 3-4 hits total. People start going home, We fight, kick, scream and end up scoring 3 runs and loading the bases in the bottom of the 9th and had a chance to win it then. Nick Tisone did a tremendous job pitching throughout the game, going through 5 innings while giving up no hits.
We signed a new player today, Seth Beason, From Friends University, he batted in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded, and 2 outs, but struck out, Stats coming soon. WOW, what a catch in the bottom of the 11th by the Florence center fielder on a Eric Suttle Center field drive that was well hit, and even better caught. ESPN Top 10, I promise folks. Chris Hall and Mike Pinto both got ejected in the top of the 9th, Hall said something to his pitcher that the Ump did not like, then Pinto came in and got face to face with the Ump and got the toss. Travis Hope, A Marion Native, got his 1st professional at-bat walking in the bottom of the 13th inning, Then striking out 2 in the top of the 14th for a perfect showing. Hope in the 15th had another good outing taking them down 1-2-3.
Mike Scanzano went 6-8 with 2 RBI. Including the walk off double winning hit and 1 walk. Way to go Mike.
Ralph Santana went 4-8 with 1 RBI.

Bryant Perdomo batted in the bottom of the 15th with 1-out and the bases loaded, but grounded into a double play to end the inning.
Suttle had a nice outfield assit in the 17th inning to home plate for the 2nd putout of the frame. Hahn struck out the Florence hitter to end the top of the 17th..

We scored 20 runs
Yep, you read that right, we scored 20 runs, the most we've scored in a single game ever. Pinto must of said something threatening, like cuts are coming, ect. anyway we beat up Florence 20-10 to pull above .500 again at 23-22. Stats are coming.
Game two of a three game series turned into a slugfest at Champion Window Field. Domingo Acosta got the call for the Freedom.
The Freedom got the scoring started in the first, beginning with a Ryan Basham RBI single. Four more runs came across, and the Freedom led 5-0. The Miners struck back with five runs of their own in the second, and the game was tied at five. Tim Grogan doubled in two more runs in the Freedom half of the second, and they led 7-5. Southern Illinois continued their offensive output, scoring four in the top of the third. The Freedom tried to match that effort, scoring two runs in the third. That was all the Freedom offense could muster, and they lost by a final score of 20-11.
The Miners will wrap up the series tomorrow afternoon at Champion Window Field at 12:35 PM against the Freedom. That will lead into the All-Star game, which will take place at Champion Window Field on Wednesday

We were up 4-0 for the longest time, The Paints loaded the bases, then unloaded them. now 4-4, They added another run and flat out out pitched us through the 7th, 8th, 9th for the win. The fireworks were not the best, but were OK. Koski in center field is amazing, his defense is great, I bet our right fielder never touched a ball ALL night, Kevin had a load of plays. We lost 5-4 by the way.

The Miners won behind some good pitching tonight, and clutch hitting. The Miners signed a new pitcher today, Ryan ? He will be starting Sunday's game. We had to cut someone but I don't know who yet. Sorry for the lack of Information, I worked late Saturday night. Southern Illinois at River City Sunday.

I made the game Saturday. Both times I have been to Rent One Stadium the Miners shut out their opponents.
Blomquist scattered four singles, and got some great defense. Center fielder Kevin Koski would have been on “Web Gems” if ESPN covered the Frontier League. In the fourth he raced to his right and made a diving grab of a Bobby Mosby fly ball at the juncture between the warning track and the outfield wall. Shortstop Mike Scanzano threw out two Rascals runners from the edge of the outfield grass.
The Rascals hitters were pressing and Blomquist got a lot of first-pitch outs. In the fifth and again in the seventh he needed only five pitches to dispatch River City. He was with the Rascals in training camp so he had to love shutting them down.
Rascals lefty starter Brody Taylor had something that led the Miners to run all over him. I don’t know if he wasn’t paying attention to the runners or what, but runners on first ran on him four times in the first three innings, Ryan Kane was safe twice, Ralph Santana was thrown out by catcher Ken Lup, and Scott Simon went to second when Scanzano grounded out. Scanzano stole a base in the sixth. I guess Taylor finally started paying attention in the seventh. Koski led off with a single and Taylor caught him breaking for second for a 1-3-6 put out. Santana then singled, and a fan near us yelled “You may get the rookie that way but you won’t get Santana!” He was wrong, as Santana was retired the very same way.
This may have been the shortest nine inning Frontier League game I have ever seen at two hours, three minutes. After the recent spate of three and a half hour marathons the short game was welcome.
