Maloney

Triple-A: Matt Maloney returned to the Bats, striking out 7 in 5 innings and allowing a run in a 7-1 win, putting Louisville up 10 games in the International League West. Adam Rosales was 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and a homer and is 14 for 23 in his past 5 games with 8 extra-base hits. Ryan Hanigan, Shaun Cumberland and Drew T. Anderson added 2 hits apiece.

Double-A: Sam Lecure struck out 9 in 7.1 innings, allowing just 2 hits in Chattanooga's 4-0 win. Danny Dorn was 3 for 4 with a double, Sean Henry had a single and a triple and Drew Stubbs added a double and an RBI. Ramon's Geronimo's scoreless streak continues, and his season numbers are pretty sick: 53.2 IP, 67K, 16BB, 4ER, 0.67 ERA. 24 isn't young, but not too old to consider those numbers distorted.

High A: Neftali Soto and Brandon Waring were 1 for 5 as Dayton lost 14-3.

Rookies: Cody Puckett was 3 for 4 with 2 homers in Billings' 9-1 win. Jamie Arneson (5-1) struck out 9 in 7 innings. ... Daryl Thompson went 4 innings, striking out 3 and allowing 1 unearned run in the G-Reds' 7-2 win in a completed game. The Reds also won 2-1 in 7 innings. ... Juan Duran was 0 for 3 in the D-Reds' 3-2 win.

Hannigan should get a shot when the rosters expand

RECENT TEAM PICTURE

Go You Mighty Monks

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

would it be possible

to just switch out the entire Bats team- including the manager, with the Reds, lock, stock, and (2 smoking) barrels? Couldn’t be any worse, could it? Plus, we wouldn’t have to deal with Dusty no more.
