I think it'll be Jon Link. They need bring up somebody that can get some strikeouts.

The Barons announcer said Poreda was hitting 97.

Beckham is at .294 now. Going in wrong direction.

Rain is moving out. Game should start on time.

Viciedo 0-2 today. Strikeout, groundout to 2B. .213 Retherford pinch hit for Viciedo in the 6th.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Egbert seems like he's very nervous up there on the mound. He's making a lot of nervous body movements. I think that's on the next episode of Lie to Me.

I'm just thinking out loud. I really don't know much about the guy's makeup, which is my main concern. I'm just thinking keeping him at extended ST would have given them time to evaluate him more, try him out in the outfield, work on his plate discipline, and then send him to a short-season in Bristol. I just have a bad feeling that AA is too much for this guy right now. And I'll admit, I could be completely off track here.

.222. One double. No homeruns. 1 walk. Should I be concerned yet? At 20 years old and new to the organization, maybe he should have stayed at extended spring training this year.

Beckham 0-4, 3 k's, error. Is he actually human?

Adam Jones is out of the lineup.

Looks bad. I think they'll play, but it may be a 1-2 hour rain delay to start off.

Rain delays may be a possibility the next two games. Which would suck.

...Also Jhonny Nunez rocks.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) The question is who does Nix replace? Lilli? Getz? Betemit? I think he will have to mash to be called up. Maybe Nix replaces Owens. Lillibridge can play CF.

I think Nix is playing SS only to show if he can be a back up on the Sox. This move has nothing to do with Beckham other than to keep in the lineup tonight.

Birmingham was rained out.

Doubtful Birmingham will play today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 10:47 PM) If we keep gettting s***ty outings from MacD and Carrasco, it is very possible. I wouldn't lump Carrasco with MacDougal. Not by a mile.

I think Jon Link is going to find his way up before too long.

Beckham snapped out of the 0-10. 2-2, single, double, stolen base.

Beckham 0-10. He's due for a big game tomorrow.
