Alan Horne: 1 IP, 2 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 5 BB, 0 K, 1-2 GB/FB – 16 of 43 pitches were strike (37.2%), yikes … Chad Jennings said he was on a 50-pitch count anyway

Brian Bruney: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HB – threw one pitch, hit former Trenton cleanup hitter Randy Ruiz in the back of the head, and was ejected … Ruiz charged the mound, but never made it to Bruney
Billy Traber: 2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP – allowed Bruney’s runner to score

Mike Gardner: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 6-2 GB/FB - the scheduled starter was Chase Wright, who was pulled from the start before the game … probably headed to Scranton to fill one of the vacant rotation spots following the trade

Phil Coke: 2 IP, zeroes, 3 K – 21 baserunners allowed & 39 K in his last 30 IP … labrum’s fine, but he’s going to work out of the ‘pen the rest of the year because he’s getting up there in innings

Mike Dunn: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 7 K – I wonder why he’s working out of the pen, he’s still about 40 IP below last year’s mark … 7 K in 2.2 IP? wow

Low-A Charleston (6-0 loss to Hickory)
Austin Krum: 1 for 3 – singled with two outs in the bottom of the 9th to break up the no-hitter

Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
Thanks to Tampa the Yankee orginization avoids 2 straight winless days
Didn’t the SI Yanks win yesterday like 15-1?
Yeah you’re right, 15-2 I believe, oops
Congrats to Melancon and Wright, getting the call-up AAA
Gardner hasn’t changed much…
He was able to see at least 11 pitches. Grinder.
Too bad for Coke on the innings, he should be getting his chance at AAA with the trades
Pittsburgh’s Huntington has to be pissed off Phil Coke is 100 % healthy and still throwing scoreless innings w/ 93 -94 mph velocity. Congrats to MELANCON and WRIGHT now it’s going to get interesting
Is there any possible reason for a AAA hitter to think a ML pitcher would be intentionally throwing at him? What a bunch of horse$#t
It-hit-his-head.
Did he collapse on his way to Bruney or was he stopped.
Chris Stewart cut him off. “Charged the mound” might not have been the best phrase, more like he was running him mouth and walking towards the mound.
Chris Stewart jumped in front of him. Bruney, as you’d expect, got pretty pissed when Ruiz started acting like an idiot, and both pitcher and batter were ejected. Bruney didn’t do anything over the top and must have said a magic word.
“Please”?
Tubelcaine.
thanks for the clarification.
Cubbies proving their number 1 in the NL Central
they’re*
Thank you, you’re a mensch.
Schlemiel, Schlimazel, Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!
Micah Owings sucks. 8 runs in 3 IP to the punchless Padres in Petco, raising his ERA to 5.93 on the year. And he’s hitting .275-.339-.375 with more K than times on base.
Where’s all the people who bitched that we should have gotten him instead of Ohlendorf in the RJ deal?
hitting better than melky
haha.
I guess I will be the first one to ask the question.
Is there something wrong with Alan Horne?
http://emedia.thetimes-tribune.....t-all.aspx
Well that’s weird. I don’t know what to do with that information.
Me neither, but it’s a better answer than I could have given you.
He’s not going to go Ankiel on us, is he?
its called: INACTIVITY.
My Phil Hughes projected stat line for tomorrow: 2 IP / 3 Hits / 1 ER / 2 K / 1 BB.
Wow, if I was that pitcher for Hickory, I’d be pissed. What manager takes out a pitcher that is pitching a no hitter through 8 innings? I mean I know it wouldn’t have been a perfect game, but still???
Happened to Hacker earlier this season
What happened to CJ Henry?
I think he signed a pro b-ball contract with that Greek team Olympikos. His fear of making any contact with pitches made him a pretty useless baseball player.
Injured
Dear Cash,
Please get rid of Ponson, put Giese in his spot and call up Chris Britton.
