August 15, 200817 yr Charlotte @ Norfolk Charlie Haeger vs. Ryan Bukvich Birmingham @ Tennessee Cassel vs. Veal Winston-Salem @ Lynchburg Anthony Carter pitching Miranda playing SS. Great game for Carter tonight. Looked like the Kannapolis version tonight. 7 innings; 0 runs on 4 hits; 4 K's; 1 walk. Attaboy AC. Kannapolis @ Hickory Socolovich pitching Beckham batting second and playing SS. The Hickory pitcher walked the first 6 guys he faced and got pulled without getting anyone out. A new pitcher came in and served up a slam to Matt Inouye. 7-0 Kanny in the first inning on one hit. LOL.

August 15, 200817 yr Good eye from Slayer, well not really probably if the Hickory pitcher walked everybody he faced.
August 15, 200817 yr Wow, what a start to the game. First 6 guys walk, then the reliever gives up a grand slam to the first batter he faces. Slayer batting 1.000
August 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) Beckham is batting 1.000 right now! get him up to MLB! Haha, I agree!! Put him at third. Seriously though, this guy is not going to have a hard time adjusting to wood bats because he did so well in the Cape Cod League last year. Plus, after not playing live baseball for near two months, he isn't rusty at all it seems. I would love this kid to just rake and finally have another top 50 prospect.

August 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 07:06 PM) Beckham plate appearances tonight: 1st - walk 2nd - single 3rd - double Stud. It is pretty clear in his fourth at-bat, he is going to get the triple, then in the fourth the HR.

August 16, 200817 yr Great start, but before we get excited look at the ERAs of the pitchers he has faced.
August 16, 200817 yr On his 3rd hit Beckham thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. He's also had two double plays and a throwing error. He's doing it all tonight!
August 16, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) Great start, but before we get excited look at the ERAs of the pitchers he has faced. And starter Michael Felix did himself no favors today... 6 earned runs in 0.0 innings... That'll screw up the 'ol ERA.
August 16, 200817 yr Just noticed that Justin Greene has been called up to Kannapolis from Bristol after playing well there.
August 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) Has Beckham been promoted yet? He needs to be demoted, he got out.
August 16, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) Has Beckham been promoted yet? No... the bum made an out tonight. Stick a fork in him.
August 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 12:20 AM) Anyone know what Omogrosso's stuff is like? JPN? He's missed a lot of time this year with a weird injury that he told me about a few weeks ago. He was having lingering blister issues for the first few months of the season including two DL trips. It turned out, according to Brian, that he had a tumor in his finger that was causing the problem. It was harmless and it was removed, he showed me the scar. He was recently activated from his third DL stint. Stuff-wise, he has a fastball that touches 96 and a pretty wicked slider, not sure what else he throws, maybe a change-up. He has a motion similar to Bronson Arroyo, high leg kick in the wind-up, no leg kick in the stretch. And, he always runs on and off the field. Also, a very nice guy. Started the season off as the 5th starter, but is now pitching in relief. Edited August 16, 200817 yr by JPN366
August 17, 200817 yr QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:20 PM) Anyone know what Omogrosso's stuff is like? JPN? Very good velocity on his fastball. At least he has very good velocity of his fastball out of the pen (don't know what its like as a starter). Long term he does project as a potential set-up guy.
