Samardzija optioned to Triple-A
By Micah Warren on Aug 13, 2009 in Baseball
After last night’s brilliant performance against the Phillies, where he gave up just seven runs over 3 1/3 innings, Jeff Samardzija was optioned to Triple-A Iowa today. It was his first Major League start for the Chicago Cubs and one he’d probably like to forget. On the bus ride to Iowa he can think about whether or not he should have stayed with football.

He leaves behind a 7.81 ERA and a 1.84 WHIP.
