3E8 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 And that against a good hitting Tennessee club (as Gio found out). Egbert wasn't missing as many bats as usual, but he kept the ball on the ground for a G/F of, well, you can't divide 15 by zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Vasquez pitched 3 hitless innings for Charlotte today. His promotion means Broadway probably is going (or already is) on the DL. Norfolk 3, Charlotte 2 Birmingham's 1-0 loss was one heck of a pitchers' duel. Egbert 6 IP, 1 R, 3 K, 0 BB, 6 hits, 0 flyouts. Day 3 IP, 5 K, 1 hit. In fact Day didn't allow a flyout either, ha! Barons lost 1-0, managing only 3 hits. Cunningham was 1-4, with a double, a walk, 2 runs, a stolen base, and a strikeout. Tyler Reves was 2-4 with a double and a HR. Hogs won 8-4 behind good bullpen. Francisco Hernandez went 3-4, upping his average to .348. Brandon Allen added a solo shot, but it wasn't enough as my boy De Los Santos got the loss.

Fifteen groundouts to zero flyouts... amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Broadway is on the DL. And Eggy is still the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Its good to see Carter and Hernandez both hit well at lowA, last year they both stunk in Kanny to the point of demotion. Also, Shelby is on the rise as well, I would really like to see all 3 be in Winston Salem at some point this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Cotts has been lights out, but I kinda think that is due in part that no one in the NL has really seen him, and second time around the league he won't be so lights out anymore. Aardsma on the other hand, it doesn't matter. If he can mix up and locate the slider, that fastball is going to look like 105 mph to the hitters. And Vazquez, I am not to excted about because he sucked in ST, but he is doing good in the minors right now. Speaking of minor league relievers, when will Day get promoted? He is 2-1, with a 2.1-something ERA, but in 16+ innings, he has gotten 33 K's! Averaging 2 K's per inning. I really want to see his Slider because it sounds like a doozey.
