Matchup: Durham Bulls vs. SWB RR

Haven’t we been here before? And very recently? Well, yes, just a couple of days ago up in Moosic, Pennsylvania where the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are at home. The Bulls took 3 out of 4 up there. Since then the RailRiders (Note to marketeers — mashing to capitalized nouns together was passé about five minutes after the first time it was done, maybe fifteen years ago. Quit it, just quit it.) went 2-2 against Norfolk and the Bulls went 4-0 against Buffalo.

The Bulls hitting numbers have jumped upwards (yeah!) along with a modest increase in team ERA (boo). For the RailRiders, modest improvement in hitting and a similar increase in ERA. Time to roll out your favorite Dan Johnson story for the folks sitting next to you; rehearse the Cory Wade trivia question; and be ready to tell the story of Chris Bootcheck giving himself a concussion coming into a Bulls-Knights game.
