Buffalo 4, Durham 6 Jon Niese’s final line doesn’t indicate it, but he had a solid effort today, allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings before coming out for the 7th and getting demolished. Niese’s line thru 6 was: 6 ip, 5 h, 3 er, 6 ks, hr, 76:52:24, 8:4:6, so sending him out for the 7th wasn’t up for much debate (I advocated for it), but in hindsight it was a [...]

Buffalo 3, Lehigh Valley 5 Jon Niese had yet another godawful performance for the Bisons this season, tonight giving up 5 runs in 6 innings. As a sign of how beyond pathetic he’s been this year, tonight’s outing lowered his ERA under 8. (By the way, if you think I’m being overtly critical, keep in mind I LOVE Jon Niese, have since we drafted him in 2005). The Bisons had 9 hits on the night, [...]

If you were hoping to get an improved and rejuvenated Oliver Perez back in the starting rotation anytime soon, forget about it. Perez is now losing games for Buffalo these days, and in his first start with them he looked like the same old Ollie. The Buffalo News reports, Perez, in his first game action since May 2 because of a right patellar tendinitis, was his usual combination of erratic and impressive in the Bisons’ [...]

Buffalo 1, Lehigh Valley 2 Oliver Perez. That’s about all you need to know tonight. Ollie was Ollie, walking 5 in 4.1 innings, including one with the bases loaded and one to the opposing pitcher. He threw just 48 of 88 pitches for strikes and took the loss, despite giving up just a run on 3 hits. The Bisons severely depleted offense managed just 7 hits and a run, while going 0 for 7 with [...]

Buffalo 8, Lehigh Valley 7 Dillon Gee had a rough outing today, snapping a streak of 3 good starts in his last 4 (those 3 good starts totalling 20.1 innings, 12 hits, 2 earned runs, 7 walks and 16 Ks). Today, he gave up 4 hits and 4 runs in 4 innings. Brandon Knight also had a bad outing, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits in 3.2 innings, but the Bisons overcame the poor [...]

Buffalo 5, Columbus 3 Fernando Nieve had a second straight good outing in AAA, again giving up 2 runs in 6 innings, and again picking up the win. Elmer Dessens gave up a run in the 9th, but picked up his 4th save of the season. The Bison offense had 8 hits and 2 walks, and also took advantage of an error in scoring 5 runs. They were 3 for 10 with RISP and left [...]
