Mark Prior's Pitching Performance
Submitted by Charles Rector on Thu, 2005-04-07 22:25.
Final Score:
Albuquerque 7
Iowa Cubs 5
Been listening to the game on the KXNO AM 1460 Des Moines internet radio.
Stats:
Prior: 87 pitches (55 strikes)
11 hits
2 back to back walks
All 7 runs were Earned making for an awful ERA.
They had Prior on after the game and made it sound like its a done deal that he's going back to Chicago to pitch for the Cubs. That sounds like fun.....for the other team.

Could have been better
According to the Chicago Tribune, Prior gave up 9 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 7, in 6 innings. Plus the aforementioned 7 runs.
More from the Trib
More from the Trib: Prior gave up 5 of his 7 runs in the 1st inning. Says Prior, "I like the way I threw two through six. I figured out some mechanical things and finally started getting in the groove. I threw the ball the way I'm accustomed to."
Clarification
As it happens, Cubs.com also says 9 hits, so the recap by the local broadcasters appears to be off. However, 7 Earned Runs in 6 innings is still pretty bad no matter how you slice it. Prior talks like he's in Fantasy Land or something. He's in for a rude awakening once he returns to MLB.
