Box Score Recap – 8/2/2013

Box Score Recap

Big night from Zach Green – 3-4 with 2HR. Just a double short of The Big Wheel. Sam Hiciano with his third bomb in three days. I’d say he’s locked in. Read our friend Mitch Rupert’s fine article on the subject (and notes on team basestealing). Jesse Biddle pitched better than he has lately – 5IP – 3R on 5H, 2 HR, (including one to a certain guy who’s about to be suspended for a pretty long while), 2BB and 6K. Threw about 62% for strikes. Much improved over his last two turns. After on oh-fer on Wednesday, Harold Martinez has three hits in his last 2 games. Joes Pujols with another HR, a 3-hit game for JPC, and another scoreless outing for Ricky Bielski, while Denton Keys had what you hope, for him, is a forgettable performance. Avert your eyes.

And Larry Greene, ever stylish, wearing that Golden Sombrero on Friday. It’s quite the fashion statement.

Sorry I’m not going to get the graphic up right now. Maybe this afternoon. Until then, click through for yourselves and enjoy the discussion. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 8/2/2013 →

Lehigh Valley Game Report

Other Stuff

NYPhilsManiac again coming up big for us:

Iron Pigs vs Rochester Game Report, July 31

Pitching:
Greg Smith started and was very effective.  He had two bad innings: 1st and 6th.  In the first he pitched out of a bases loaded 1 out jam with no runs.  In the 6th, Rochester got 3 hits and a walk, but Smith limited the damage to 1 run.  I am honestly not sure how he was getting them out.  He topped out at 86 mph and was in the 82-84 range most of the time.  He did throw a 70 mph off-speed pitch (seemed like a curve but might’ve been a changeup).  He throws so slow, it makes Cloyd look like Roger Clemens.

Mike McDougall pitched out of a jam in the 8th to get the last 2 outs when he relieved Smith.

Cesar Jiminez slammed the door with a perfect 9th (2 K’s and a slow groundout to 2B).  Jiminez was consistently reaching 87-88.
