The Louisville Bats had the day off on Monday. They’ll start a series with Pawtucket on Tuesday at 6:05 p.m. EST, but they don’t know who they’re starting on the mound yet, so dang it, neither do I.
I guess maybe 27-year-olds are kinda supposed to dominate AA lineups, but all that means is that Deck “It Ralph” McGuire is doing precisely what’s expected of him this year for the Wahoos. He pitched seven innings of one-run baseball on Monday, lowering his ERA to 2.73 for the year in nine starts. Ariel “Attack” Hernandez and Jimmy “Drinks to” Herget were their normal sparkling selves out of the pen too, each tossing a scoreless innings to finish this one off.
