theeagleman5 319 Report post Posted April 26, 2011 Injuries in the Phila. Phillies bullpen have necessitated bringing up 3 guys from AAA Lehigh Valley and the trickle down effect has our guy Chance Chapman PROMOTED TO AAA Lehigh Valley for the first time!!!... ....he had a tough first outing giving up 3 runs (only 1 earned) but last night came in and pitched 1.1 scoreless innings....so Chappy is now an Iron Pig and they play out of Allentown, PA about 2 hrs north of Philly....TheEagleman will keep a watch on his progress....he could go back down when and if the Phillies bullpen gets healthy....

theeagleman5 319 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 Big performance by Chance last night as the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs shut out the Pawtucket Red Sox by 3-0.....Chapman comes in and throws four innings of no hit, no walk, no run baseball...12 up and 12 down with 3 Ks.....he gets his first AAA win to go 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA....with another starter from the Iron Pigs called up by the Phillies yesterday(Vance Worley who shut out the Mets last night), Chance will have a lot of opportunity to pitch at Lehigh Valley and maybe even get a start or two due to all the call ups....great opportunity for the ORU kid.....
