I spent the night in Reading at the R-Phils game so my notes will be pretty limited today… More to come on the Reading experience.
Well, the Pigs lost 4 to 5 to the Tide tonight.
Andy Tracy was 4 for 4 with two doubles and a triple.
Cody Ransom had 2 hits including a 2 run Homerun.
Melvin Dorta went 0 for 5 ending his streak at 13..
One note of interest while listening to the post-game show is that home plate umpire Travis Brown awarded Drew Carpenter a 1 pitch strikeout. From what I could understand from the call is that the Tide’s Robert Andino took too long in his at bat and was penalized with a strike being added to his count. With some protest he again took too long getting into the box and was rung up with a 3rd strike after only one pitch was thrown. He went berzerk and was instantly ejected. True call, but not seen too often.
Seeing tweets of Chad Durbin heading to the DL with an injured hamstring so the Pig’s bullpen could get hit again soon. We will add Dobbs this week so whoever goes up might give up the spot when Dobbs adds an Ironpig jersey to his wardrobe.
Stay tuned for my notes on the Reading game from tonight!




I watched part of the Reading game on Service Electric TV 2 and they were talking about J.A. Happ’s next rehab start. They said his next scheduled start would normally be on Monday but with Reading and LV both being away that day it would make the most sense for him to pitch one of the doubleheader games for the Ironpigs on Tuesday. In case anyone forgot, the April 16th rain game was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader on June 29th with the first game beginning at 6:05.
Nice!
That would be great if we see Happ pitch in an IronPigs uniform again. I know Laura will be first in line for that day 😉
