Great job by Prior tonight.

 

I'd like to see him get one more with Iowa, but this was definitely encouraging.

Good night for Prior. Not a bad pitch count, would be 126 for 9 innings, and he threw a lot of strikes.

 

I would like to see him make one more start at AAA though before being brought up.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Kidnap Church and bring him to Chicago.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Huh, Prior still in, batting with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

Huh, Prior still in, batting with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

 

He is a better batter than Augie Ojeda, imo.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Prior batting:

 

Ball 1 outside.

Strike 1 swinging.

Ball 2 outside.

Fouled back.

Strike 3 swinging, leaves the bases loaded. :(

 

In the middle of the 7th, New Orleans leads it 1-0. Jerome Williams is warming in the pen, let's see who will pitch the bottom of the 7th.

True, but they coulda used Buck Coats.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Prior vs. Vento:

 

Ball 1 high and inside.

Strike 2 swinging.

Prior vs. Godwin:

 

Check swing, strike 1.

Grounds out, 6-3.

 

Quade comes to pull him. He gets a standing ovation from New Orleans. Prior thanks the umpire, tips the hat to the NO crowd.

 

6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 10/1, 90 pitches (63 strikes)

 

Jerome Williams now in the game.

[FloridaCubbie]

Nice outing by Prior. When is he in line to start in the bigs?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I doubt you folks want Jerome Williams updates, so I'm done here. (Jerome did get the 3rd out in the 7th inning.)

Sounds good to me. I like the k's that are swinging and misses. Velocity at 92 is improving and acceptable. Only thing left is how he recovers from this impressive outing. IF he does well recovering this ought to be his last rehab.

Sunday

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The I-Cubs scored 1 in the 8th, so Prior is off the hook for the loss.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hoffpauir comes through with an RBI single to tie the game at 1. At least Prior won't get charged with the loss.

He only hit 92 once. He was consistently 90-91 mph.

Great to see a solid performance by Prior. Now, all I want on Father's Day besides good time with my kids is a W by Prior!

[Chocolate Milk]

Very encouraging.
