Hart: 48 IP, 42 K/14 BB, .284 BAA

 

I've never heard, well, anything about this guy, but his K rate seems pretty good, if not just plain decent. Is anybody high on his potential?

2-5 record with an ERA of 6.56 through 48IP...outside his K rate (which isn't too spectacular) he's been pretty bad. He reminds me of Matt Bruback for some odd reason.

Yeah that's pretty horrible. Nevermind.

The Cubs got Hart for Freddie Bynum. I've heard that he's been mostly throwing in the low-to-mid 80s this season (but I'm not 100% sure that this is true), so a lack of stuff and poor numbers outside of his K-rate doesn't impress me.

Nice shoutout from Ron! I'm tuning into the DJaxx broadcast tonight for old times' sake.

[mg420]

another 3 run homer for kroeger! time to launch jones & call this guy to the majors to play rf (with pei in cf of course).

Yay!

EPatt is at second base and 1/1; Iowa is scoreless in the second.

 

Tennessee up 4-2 in the 6th. Hart: 4 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 3 K/2 BB, 2 HR. Grant Johnson with a scoreless 5th, Josh Kroeger with that 3-run HR that mg420 mentioned.

 

Bounce-back game from Robert Hernandez: 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 K/3 BB, 1 HR. But Peoria gives up 7 in the bottom of the 7th and is down 9-2.

greetings to one and all from Pringles Park.. it is REALLY wierd seeing all these guys in Smokies uniforms..

[TruffleShuffle]

ugh i-cobs had bases loaded and webb grounded into a double-play... just stand there with the bat on your shoulder, let patterson come up with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

[Laura]

Tie game in West Tenn!

Totally agree. In any case, it was great to see everyone again.

[UBlink]

Didn't really appreciate Ron calling the DJaxx walkoff HR :cry:

[Guest]

Soto is 2/3 and his OPS is inching towards .900 (.894, I believe).

[Chris]

Ron, weren't you talking about a possible Aunt Florence sighting?

[Guest]

Iowa loses 6-2, Felix ends up going 1/5 with a double, EPatt went 1/5 with a single.

[Chris]

Worth mentioning that all 5 Q & A sessions were completed this afternoon in Jackson. We'll try to get them posted ASAP.

That game last night was hands down the best game I have ever seen at Pringles Park. At least seven brilliant defensive gems (I forgot how special McGehee is defensively at 3B), an incredible one man performance in Charlton Jimerson (3 homers, 5 RBI's, two phenominal catches in CF and thre runs scored) and a walk-off home run.

 

This series has been as much fun as I had hoped for. Bring on tonight!!
