In simple terms, Santana did not have a successful return to the mound in a 9-3 loss to the Braves on Saturday evening. Summary Well, Johan Santana made his return to the mound on Saturday evening to the tune of a broken guitar, to be nice about it. He was not technically hit hard, but he was hit frequently as a plethora of singles led to a plethora of runs. Santana lasted just four outs [...]

The Mets (53-57) lost to the Marlins (50-60) by the score of 4-2 tonight at Citi Field. It feels like this team is just without energy. I can not explain how or why but it just feels like a different team. The fight was once a fight for the wild-card … and now it is a fight to hit .500 again. I feel like every loss I write a recap for ends up feeling like a [...]

Buffalo 3, Indianapolis 2 By Connor O’Brien The Bisons battled the Indianapolis Indians in a very tight game, and prevailed by a score of 3-2. After being claimed a few times by other teams until finally getting back to the Bisons, Chris Schwinden is starting to settle back in to the rotation and got the start last night. With the Buffalo offense not scoring too many runs recently, Schwinden needed to be good, and he [...]

Indianapolis 6, Buffalo 0 By Connor O’Brien Last night in Indianapolis, the Bisons were defeated once again by a score of 6-0. Jeurys Familia, coming off a stretch of great starts, got the start for Buffalo. In his previous start, he gave up seven runs against Charlotte and failed to make it out of the fifth inning.

Louisville 3, Buffalo 1 By Connor O’Brien Last night the Bisons and Bats squared off in the final game of a four-game series in Buffalo. It was a battle of the bullpens, as the Bats prevailed in a 3-1 game. On the mound for the Bisons was Garrett Olson.

Colin was throwing strikes, and throwing strikes will always leave a pitcher in a great position to pick [...]
