July 18, 200817 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) Brandon Allen was promoted to Birmingham. nice, bout time. i think that he's got some real potential. not only does he hit for great power but he's got a decent average and can even steal a base, I think he's got about 15 swipes right now. i'm excited to see how he performs at the higher level
July 18, 200817 yr Allen hit a homerun in his first at-bat with the Barons!! Off of David Price too!!! Attaboy Brandon! Edited July 18, 200817 yr by scenario
July 18, 200817 yr And Allen hits another homerun in his second at-bat!!! Also off of Mr. Untouchable... David Price. Coming into tonight's game, Price was 8-0 with a 1.68 ERA this season and had given up ZERO homeruns all year. Edited July 18, 200817 yr by scenario

July 18, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) "Louisville Bats designated hitter Rob Mackowiak ejected by HP umpire Damien Beal" There is a lot of awesomeness in that one sentence.
July 18, 200817 yr Author um... did we make a trade that hasn't been announced? Because some guy named Freddie Thon, a firstbaseman who MiLB says is on Bakersfield, supposedly played today for Winston-Salem. And is that Dickie Thon's kid?

Don't know if there is a connection to Dicky Thon or not. Freddie was playing for the Joliet Jackhammers in the Northern League when we picked him up. http://www.northernleague.com/cgi-bin/reca...i?id=1212703169
July 18, 200817 yr Price gave up 3 hr's today in 5 innings. hadn't given up a hr all season, about 100IP. nice
