The revamped Pigs looked pretty good tonight. JA Happ did not. He was all over the place wild in the first two innings. A post game interview was reported that he felt better than he has yet. Maybe they instructed him not to throw strikes or work on a certain pitch but it wasn’t pretty.
What can you say about Domonic Brown! This guy hit his first AAA Home run tonight, made a great catch and gunned a runner down at 3rd. He is quickly becoming a Lehigh Valley fan favorite!
The Pigs took the game 5 to 4 with a walk off victory when Neil Sellers singled in Domonic Brown to win the game.
What was left of the neon sign Andy Tracy's home run demolished.
Game two.. Pigs lost 3 to 2. It was tied going into the 7th (and last) inning and Rochester scored, the Pigs did not. There were some highlights in this game but the team just looked worn out. That long bus trip showed its effect in this game. The team seemed to lag.
Also word on the street is that Cody Ransom was not selected to help out in the absence of Polanco in Philadelphia because of a problematic knee. In a strange lineup Ransom started at Shortstop, Neil Sellers played first and Andy Tracy played third base. Could Tracy be amidst a test to see about a promotion for him? Let’s hope it doesn’t happen before the All Star break for I have a feeling that when the All Star team rosters are announced tomorrow, he just might be one of two Ironpigs on the team. I see Mathieson and Tracy making the roster.
Tonight I also got a taste of the good life up in the club level for a few innings. Thanks to big Joe R for the invite. Indeed! It’s a nice place up there and talked to some good folks.
That’s about all I have for tonight. See you tomorrow.
OINK!

Andy Tracy’s and Domonic Brown’s homerun’s were just awesome to watch. I mean, wow !
Brown’s arm is very impressive – both throws were on target. If he keeps playing like this, he’ll be up with the Phillies if they’re in a postseason run, for speed.
If you haven’t seen Brown yet, he’s a must see !
Man that was some shot. Indeed the longest homer we ever witnessed at CCP! We all in sec. 108 guessed about 450. If not for that sign the ball might have wound up in Northampton Co. Dominic Brown was VERY impressive too!!
Happy to see nobody was seriously cut.
Jimmy was in the shot on TV2 behind a leftie batter for the Wings at one point early on. Great seats, dude…
I get kicked out of the TV room long about 8, so I couldn’t confirm on Dallas… the two folks from the player-development dept of the Phils were repeatedly shown by the 2.
Is Heater on vacation? During one of his breaks from radio, Provence had to fill in for him with a sponsor interview (the guy from Polish Water Ice, and oh Matt? it’s Easton Avenue…)
Woo Hoo Achillies!
Go on and wreck the damn Park! It’s okay. A neon sign can easily be replaced…
…meanwhile, Andy Tracy can never.
(Great photographic forensic evidence of Tracy’s monster shot for posterity)
That is truly splendid work, Kehl.
Calculating the exact distance of Tracy’s titanic clout.
Well done, then.
