07/25: If I Was Louisville, I'd Be Mad
Posted by: James
Last night, Hughes set them down. Tonight, Joba Chamberlain dominated them to the tune of 5 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 10 Ks in his first AAA start. Yeah, he's good. The only thing that Louisville's got going for them right now is that they missed Ian Kennedy by a couple of nights.
On a related note, Alan Horne shut down Erie over 8 innings giving up 5 hits, 4 walks and 1 earned run while striking out 7, bringing his AA ERA down to 2.36 for the year. If there was room, he really should/would be at AAA right now.
Update: Apparently, this is a screw-up on the part of MiLB - They have Dellin listed and in the box score but it's been stated that it was actually Jason Stephens who pitched those innings.
Finally, another bit of good news - Dellin Betances is actually pitching tonight as well so I guess the elbow injury wasn't that bad. His line for the night was 5 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER and 3Ks (7-5 GB-FB) but the good news is just that he's pitching.
