Man, I don't think I've ever seen a minor league pitcher with 179 innings in a season.

Wainwright threw 182 innings in the minors in 2005.

[TruffleShuffle]

some guy threw 180 innings in the southern league last year. andy sonnanstione threw 185.2 innings in 2006.

Last time the Cubs had it happen was 1998 when they had 3 guys do it. One still active, one with less than 100 major league innings, one with a small cup of coffee. Any guesses?

Completely guessing: Foster, Bowie, Downs(although intuition tells me Garland).

 

EDIT: Not even close. Well, Downs was close, but that's it.

 

EDIT2: What's the threshold, 180 IP? I can only find 1 guy in 1998.

farnsworth: 184 IP (102.2 at Iowa, 81.1 at West Tenn)

brian mcnichol: 179 IP at West Tenn

phil norton: 186.1 IP (120.1 at West Tenn, 66 at Daytona)

McNichol had 7 IP at Iowa.

Tennessee leads 5-0 going into the bottom of the 7th. Archer with a fantastic outing (6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K), Guyer and Chirinos have HRs.

[Outshined_One]

5-0 is the final score. Smokies lead the Suns 1-0 in the series.

Good to see Chirinos back after he missed the final game of the previous series after a HBP.
