Charlotte 10, Gwinnett 1
The International League (specifically the Charlotte Knights) was unkind to Ryne Reynoso on his first attempt at tackling AAA. The crazy thing is he was excellent in 4 of his 5 innings. The 2nd inning really did him in however as he gave up all 6 runs in the frame. Jason Heyward wasn't much better, but he didn manage to reach base in his AAA debut.
Jose Ortgegano has been pretty damn impressive since he was called up to Mississippi. He has posted a 2.83 ERA (2.96 FIP) and only 15 walks and 46 hits in 47+ IP, along with 42K. Yet another guy to add to the pitching depth chart.
Winston-Salem 4, Myrtle Beach 5
Cole Rohrbough wasn't as bad in this game as he has been recently. It is interesting to note that he had a sub-3.00 ERA the first two months of the season. I really wonder if he might have something wrong with his arm. Also Gerry Rodriguez has quietly had one of the better seasons by our hitters this season.
Rome 1, Augusta 2
Another (Di)masterful performance from Delgado. Unfortunately Eric Surkamp was even better allowing only 2 hits and striking out 12 while throwing a complete game. You have to tip your hat to that I guess. One thing to note about Dimaster is that his FIP is actually 3/4 of a run lower than his ERA, so he has pitched better than a cursory glance would suggest.

I was at the Mississippi game. Ortegano was outstanding, but he just ran out of gas in the 8th. Well, one of his last pitches was a 93 MPH fastball, so maybe he didn’t exactly run out of gas, but he did suddenly lose effectiveness.
The hit that Palica gave up to tie the game was heart breaking. The guy gave a check swing and sent a slow dribbler down the 3B line. It went foul, then hit back fair before anyone could touch it and ended up hitting the bag.
And Gunderson looked awful in the 9th, and Concho Rodriguez didn’t help by letting a ball get by him in CF.

just curious...
wonder if someone who is better able to research the #s than I am could find out. But I wonder what Cody Johnson’s #s were with Heyward (or Freeman) hitting in front of him vs. without?
