DLS going against Ross Detwiler, the 6th pick of the 07 draft, who is making his high A debut as well after 4 starts in the GCL. Heck of a pitching matchup.

DLS with 3 K's and a walk in 2 IP so far. Detwiler getting roughed up a bit with 6 hits, and 2 ER in 3 IP.

Final line for Fautino: 5 IP, 1 R, 6 K, 1 BB, 4 hits.

 

I listened to parts of the game and the Warthogs' announcer said he had trouble locating his offspeed stuff tonight, notably his curve. However, his fastball sounded dominant and he got most, if not all, of his Ks on it. He was limited to 5 innings or 75 pitches, they are still taking it slowly with him, but a nice debut. He even struck out the last two batters he faced and retired the last 6 batters he faced.

Charlotte won 3-1. Broadway with a great start today. Went 8.1 giving up 5 hits and 2 BB, only 1 R, and struck out 5. Aardsma got the save striking out 2.

 

Sweeney was back today, going 1-4. Neither Lucy nor Collaro played today. Ricks went 0-4.

Final pitching lines on what appeared to be big name starting pitcher night in our organization:

 

Broadway: 8.1 IP, 5 hits, 1 run (earned), 2 walks, 5 k's, 12 GO, 8 AO, 103 pitches, 69 strikes. And he improved to 7-6 with a 3.83 with this outing as he beat 1st place Richmond, 3-1, in 101 degree heat at the bandbox in Charlotte. That's about the best start I've seen him have in our system, all things considered.

 

Wing: 5.2 IP, 4 hits, 1 run (earned), 1 walk, 6 k's, 5 GO, 6 AO, and improved to 6-5 with a 3.14 in the victory.

 

DLS: 5 IP, 4 hits, 1 run (earned), 1 walk, 6 k's, 5 GO, 3 AO, and a win in his A advanced debut. Not bad.

 

Rice: 5 IP, 1 hit, 1 run (earned), 5 walks, 4 k's 5 GO and AO in a win in his first decision since being sent down to Kanny.

 

Poreda: 5 IP, 2 hits, no runs, 2 walks, 7 k's, 7 GO, only 1 AO, and a win in his first decison at GF. He's been dominant down there, he needs to STAY HEALTHY.

 

Lin: 5 IP, 10 hits, 3 runs (earned), 1 walk, 7 k's, 5 GO, 2 AO, and got the win to move to 5-3 with a 3.16 at Bristol. Lin needs to pitch well down the stretch, he's been a bit up and down lately.

 

Noteable hitting performances tonight include:

David Cook going 2 for 5 with a 2 run homer as he continues to be on fire since the call up to B-Ham

Getz 4 for 5 as he starts to look healthy again at B-Ham

Sweeney is back and went 1 for 4 with a run for Charlotte

Bourgeois was 2 for 4 with an RBI, run, and stolen base for Charlotte

Alex Sanchez 2 for 4 with a run and triple for Charlotte

Paulo Orlando was 4 for 4 with 3 runs and a double for W-S

Shelby hit a 2 run homer for Kanny

 

Really encouraging night from our big name arms tonight is the story though. And hey, a 7-0 night for the system, everybody from Chicago to Bristol gets a win, wewt.

All in all, great night by everyone who started, really heartening to see.

Poreda is on a pitch count at Great Falls, the pitching coach Curt Hasler wants to keep him under 70 pitches per outing. Supposedly his best fastball last night was 96.

okay, Poreda is starting to make me eat some of my words that I said about him, but then again, he is only in Great Falls.

oh yeah, is Ryan Wing considered an actual prospect or what?
