Van Beschoten Promoted to Altoona

[3-2 Changeup]

John Van Beschoten was promoted to Altoona and was to have started last night. He was 6-0, 2.22 ERA. That's good news.

Van BenSchoten wasn't supposed to start last night ... he's supposed to start TOMORROW night, not last night.

Mike Connoly started last night, and I went to the game ... really not a heck of a lot to say when the Curve are one-hit (Castillo single in the seventh broke up the no-no) and lose 1-0 except for the SP. Connolly was very good, giving up 1 run in 7 1/3 with 5 hits and 1 walk and 4 K's ... but he escaped danger several times.

I'm going to tomorrow's game, btw. I'm excited to see VBS.

[3-2 Changeup]

Well I was mostly right. ;-) I look forward to a first hand report Josh. I can't wait until the Curve make their annual appearance in New Britain.

[GiveHyzduashot]

Yeah, I'll file a first hand report ... no reason not to.

New Britain Rock Cats (what a crazy name ... what in the heck is a rock cat?) play the Curve June 9-11 ... you can look forward to seeing Burnett, VBS (won't bother trying to spell his name), Jacobsen, Castillo, Duffy, Bonifay, etc. ... it's arguably the most talent-laden team the Curve have had, right up there with Beimel, J. Wilson, Mackowiak, Hyzdu, Cota, Carrasco, and Anaheim pitcher Brendan Donnelly

How far are you from New Britain, Chris?

[3-2 Changeup]

About 40 minutes. I try to catch half a dozen games each season. It's half way home from work so sometimes I just go right ot Bee Hive stadium and eat a ball park dog. I usually go to Norwich, about an hour or so away to see the Curve as well.
