It was a wild day for Tribe affiliates yesterday, as teams scrambled to recover from Shawn Morimando's last minute call-up to Cleveland. Both Columbus and Akron were affected, but they made it work with replacement starters and last minute call-ups of their own.
The heroes of the day were Thomas Pannone and Justus Sheffield, who both had brilliant starts for Advanced-A Lynchburg and Single-A Lake County respectively.
Let's get to business:
Just like the big league club, Columbus had themselves a bullpen game yesterday, and they had to lean heavily on pitchers who had just been promoted for spot duty.
