At least Aroldis Chapman left Louisville with something to remember him by...a 105-mile-per-hour fastball.

The Louisville Bats' left-handed pitching phenom hit that triple-digit number on the radar gun at Louisville Slugger Field last Friday night in the ninth inning against the Columbus Clippers. As it turns out that will likely be the last time we see Chapman in a Bats' uniform. He is expected to be called up by the parent Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

The Louisville Bats' past got in the way of their present, and maybe their future too, Monday night.

Toledo's Shawn Roof, the son of former Louisville Redbird great Gene Roof, continued to blister Bats' pitching - going 3-for-4 to lead the Mud Hens to a 6-2 victory at Louisville Slugger Field.

In one memorable episode of 'Seinfeld' George Constanza's high school gym teacher calls him, "Can't Stand Ya."

The Louisville Bats have to feel the same way about Columbus' Jose Constanza after Thursday night. The outfielder went 4-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored to lead the Clippers to a 5-2 win over the Bats at Louisville Slugger Field.

The Indianapolis Indians managed only three hits Wednesday night, but they were still enough to beat the Louisville Bats.

That's because two of those hits were home runs - both in Indy's five-run first inning - and they carried the Indians past the Bats 6-2 at Louisville Slugger Field in the final game of a split five-game series.

Wladimir Balentien was atrocious in April, but in August he's been awesome.
