Did you see what I did with the post title there? Horrible . . . Horne-ible . . . eh, eh? Oh screw you guys…Â
Anyways, it looks like Eric Duncan has become a platoon player for Scranton; tonight marks the 3rd straight time he’s sat when the opposing team started a southpaw. Even though E-Dunc has demolished LHP throughout his career, he’s hitting only .151-.258-.226-.484 against them this year, justifying the move.

Mighty Matt: 7.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2-13 GB/FB - picked a runner off first…tough luck loss prior to what could prove to be an ideal situation in his Saturday start with the big league squad
