Weird weather ruled the baseball week here in the Lehigh Valley. I ended up seeing two out of five games. The others were seriously delayed or outright postponed by rain. Two doubleheaders were rescheduled; neither went more than one game. I saw one of those on Wednesday night, when Kyle Kendrick took on the rehabbing Tim Redding of the Buffalo (boring) Bisons. Both guys were effective; neither figured in the decision. Rich Thompson hit a single up the middle to give the 'Pigs a walk-off 2-1 victory.
Kendrick is looking better but he is still working slowly. When he was going well in Philadelphia, he pitched a nice fast-paced game, getting the ball and throwing it. When he went bad, he slowed to a cramped crawl that was painful to watch.
