Hanson gets 2 K’s to get out of jam in first, and so far has 2 K’s after a leadoff triple in this inning.

He sure is throwing a lot of pitches though

Tony Shiavane is ready for ESPN Sunday night
he’s getting mixed up frequently.

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

Barbaro with his third hit.
Those Gwinnett cougars are gonna be lining up for him.

Anyone know how Hanson’s command looks? I see he has two walks…

From what I was hearing earlier, he had some first inning jitters(which is when I think he issued both his walks) and it took 25 pitches to get out of the 2nd inning, but for the most part I think he was staying ahead of hitters, they were just working the count on him

Some good news
Reds just took a 4-3 lead over the Mets in the 3rd. Oliver Perez (pitch count: 52) is on the hill for NY. Joey Votto has the big hit so far with a three run homer
"People need help, and you know how to help them."
So much for that...
Delgado ties it up on an RBI forceout.
"People need help, and you know how to help them."
Perez's line:
4.1 IP, 5 H 8 R (all earned), 5 BB, 7 K, 1 HR allowed
Here’s to hoping he throws up craptastic performaces like that all year long.
Now 8-4 Reds, bottom 5
"People need help, and you know how to help them."
There's very little doubt in my mind that he will.
I’m so glad we didn’t go after him.
Tommy Hanson 4 ROY
The funniest part was reading a majority of the Mets fans try to explain how that signing was better than the Lowe signing.
The Mets fans who actually know their stuff said otherwise, of course.

Gwinnett gets the W
Link to the box score. Medlan picked up the win and Cougar Bait Canizares had three hits including a homer. Conrad and Hernandez pitched in two hits each, and Boscan scored two runs.
SWAGGA was 0-2 but did walk twice.
Hanson’s 5:1 K:BB ratio looks fancy even in the smallest of sample sizes.

SWAGGA was 0-2 but did walk twice.
Two more than GA if I’m not mistaken.

No, that’s not funny.

Meanwhile in Chicago
Our old pal Kyle Davies has thrown up the following line so far:
5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K, 75 pitches
"People need help, and you know how to help them."
And then the next time he goes out...
2.1 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 5 BB, 2 K, 68 pitches
Oh, Bobby.

I saw that. Dotel was awesome.

Cody Johnson just made it rain in at BB&T
Just hit his first home run down the LF line, to tie it up.

In case anybody was wondering about Jason Perry (and if you were, find something better to do), he’s signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers in the independent Atlantic League. Also saw that Paul Bush signed with the Sommerset Patriots in the same league.
