Lakewood go boom. Duffy with 5 hits. GCL go boom. Other direction. 3 hits for the whole lot. Congrats to Jon Pettibone for moving up to AAA. Congrats to Dom Brown for playing baseball today. Even if it was just DHing. And even if he did get hosed on the bases.

Pettibone Gets The Call-Up
Multiple media sources are reporting that Jonathan Pettibone has been called up to AAA Lehigh Valley. First report I saw was from @anthonyburkhart of The Republican-Herald in Reading.
Pettibone put forth a strong performance tonight, going 7 innings, giving up just 1 earned run, 3 hits and no walks, and striking out 6 Altoona Curve(s?). On the season, he was 9-7 in 19 starts for Reading, with a 3.30 ERA, gave up 115 hits, 9 of them homeruns, allowed 27 bb and struck out 81 in 117.1 innings pitched, for a WHIP of 1.21, a k rate of 6.34/9, a very good bb rate of 2.07 and a HR rate of 0.69/9.
For the record, I also saw a report tonight that Jarred Cosart was just called up to AAA in the Houston organization. So 2 of the 5 so-called “Baby Aces” aces are now in AAA, 2 remain in AA, and one is still repeating A+.

Remember to take your Hamels talk to the general discussion. Tempting as it may be to talk about it anywhere. Look, I can’t even stop myself. Cole Hamels. Cole Hamels. Hamels. Cole. Ok I’m done. Hamels. Sorry.
On to the boxes!!! And on to BJ Rosenberg and Adam Morgan and Manaure Martinez striking out everybody!!!

Drago on Trevor May Reading Eagle (7-24)

Solid outing for Austin Wright. Bombs from Altherr and Franco but Lakewood goes down in the end.
General Discussion – Week of 7-23-2012
Lots of trade deadline discussion coming this week, I imagine. Have at it.

Nice pitching performances by Kevin Brady and Chris Nichols shut down State College in game 2 of that doubleheader – 3 hits, 0BB and 9K between them in 7 scoreless innings. Elsewhere, Cody Asche climbs above the Mendoza line for the first time in AA and hits his 3rd HR in 10 games. He’s hit safely in 8 of those 10.

Jesse Biddle takes care of business. I almost said Biddness. Which would have been terrible.
Also of note, Larry Greene 2-3, bb, 2b, HR, Edgar Duran with 2 HR, and back-to-back ninth inning jacks from Pullin and Carmona in GCL, both their first as professionals. And hey, follow me on twitter if you like. I sometimes post about the minors, sometimes about the big club, sometimes about other randomness, but not so much you’ll hate me for it…well…probably not. @bxe1234

Nice line from Pettibone. Franklyn Vargas with 5 no-hit innings. Kenny Giles Ks 7 in 3 perfect innings. Wow. He wins.

Dom goes yard. BJ Rosenburg takes his place as 7th starter for Phils, (IMO – sorry Cloyd fans, but BJ’s got a 40-man spot). And not bad from Colvin. Continue reading Box Score Recap 7-19-2012
