For those who care enough to listen to it, they can go here . The game starts at 8ct/9et. I'll try to give updates on how he did later tonight after the game...
EDIT: For whatever reason that isn't working for me, so I went to the Isotopes website. You can find that here, the link is on the right of the page. I also just figured out it's on MLB.com

The Iowa Cubs are down 6-3 in the top of the fourth. Of course his health is the most important thing in this start, but I would feel more comfortable with him if he wasn't getting knocked around.
I've been listening to the entire broadcast and this park sounds like it plays a lot like Coors. The Cubs defense is also pretty suspect as most of the singles have been "just out of reach" or "just barely dropped in" as called by the announcers. Only one ball was hit hard, and that was the triple in the first. Prior has since had back-to-back solid innings, increased his fastball velocity a couple MPH and is throwing good breaking balls. If there are any positives to take out of this, it is that he is healthy, he'll have a much better home park, better home defence, and has pitched well since the first inning.
I believe his final line looked like this: 6IP 7ER 9H 2BB 7K 87 pitches
He gave up 5 runs in the first inning, he seemed to have settled down after that. If I can find any details on how he looked I will post them when I find them.

Thanks for the report! I was curious all day but got busy tonight, just had time to check scores intermittently. Not quite sure what to make of the 'test drive'. I guess maybe we'll get a report tomarrow, as there's nothing on the Tribune yet...
