The Ironpig’s were too little and too late in their comeback tonight against the Pawsox. They had the bases loaded with one out in the 9th down and couldn’t quite pull off the comeback. Perhaps tomorrow?
Plus’s
Ehren Wasserman pitched 2.2 innings allowing only 2 hits and 1 earned run. His control seems suspect as he hit two batters with a pitch.John Mayberry hit the ball hard tonight including a triple and 2 RBI.
40 year old Pawsox reliever walked in a run for the Pigs in the 9th. Ok, not really a plus but I thought it was interesting.
Boo’s
Drew Carpenter lasted only 3.1 innings, his shortest AAA start in his career. He gave up 6 hits and 5 earned runs.Rich Thompson was again relegated to a pinch role, being placed as a pinch runner in the 9th inning for Paul Hoover. I understand the outfield is stacked but I feel Thompson has earned his place in the Lehigh Valley outfield.
Luis Maza went down swinging to end the game with the tying run on second base. With the control problems Pawsox pitchers were experiencing I feel letting that meatball of a 3-0 pitch go by wasn’t the best option.

I’ll almost certainly have the 12.05 game from P-Sawx land on the radio, while I’m quietly cussing out MLBNet (ESPNs aren’t in the equation on this one) for not picking up the YES pregame with the Yanks (kid brother’s team) getting the rings (how are they going to present a ring to Cody Ransom, now a ‘Pig?)
