Wanted to start off tonight’s post by mentioning the Silver Pig’s fan club bingo night at Coca Cola Park this evening. From what I’m being told, close to 200 people showed up.. much more than the club level could comfortably hold and the event was held on the concourse with food and prizes. Wish I was older than I am.. might invest in a gray wig next time.. Good Stuff Ironpigs! You keep outdoing yourselves!
It was bound to happen soon, in fact I just asked about this a couple posts ago, and Joe Savery has been pushed to the bullpen to work his problems out. Brandon Duckworth will replace him in the rotation. Savery has really struggled this season, especially in the early innings. Hopefully this will prove beneficial to him and his career.
The one good thing I can say about tonight’s game against the Norfolk Tide is at least we didn’t pay to see this game. It got ugly. It got real ugly. Andy Tracy had 2 errors counted towards his season total of 5 in one play. Listening to the broadcast it didn’t seem he completely deserved the second but it went down that way. Brain farts all around today as Dorta also added two errors to the total. Dorta did extend his hitting streak to a season high 13th game!
Altogether the pitching staff allowed 12 hits, 9 runs (6 of them earned) walked 5 and struck out 7.
The Pigs did load the bases in the 9th with no outs..
Bocock struck out on a questionable pitch.
Thompson popped out.
Tavares singled scoring 2 runs.
John Mayberry flied out.
Hopefully tomorrow brings a better day… Pigs lose to Norfolk 4 to 9.

Savery needs something to kick him into shape. I hope this is what he needs to get to where he needs to be. I think Duckworth will do just fine as a starting pitcher. He did a great job coming in for Nate Bump after he got hit and Duckworth didn’t have much time to warm up.
Hopefully the Pigs will bounce back and take the next one from Norfolk.
