July 30, 200916 yr Charlotte @ Syracuse Egbert pitching Birmingham lost to Jacksonville 9-3. Decent start by Ely, but Ricky Brooks imploded in relief and the offense didn't show up. Kinston @ Winston-Salem Tied 3-3 after 5. Morel with 3 hits including a homerun. Kannapolis beat Rome 3-2. Leesman with the win. Great Falls @ Helena Collop pitching Bristol game postponed due to rain. Edited July 30, 200916 yr by scenario
July 30, 200916 yr Like I said in yesterday's game thread. Someone should really check Brett Morel's pulse. He is on a nice streak. My boy Dan Black also had a nice day. Edited July 30, 200916 yr by SoxAce
July 30, 200916 yr Ugh...season ticket holder batting practice got postponed due to wet grounds at Regions. I have to wait another month to crack some dingers. I know it has nothing to do with today's games, just thought I'd share.
July 30, 200916 yr Morel is just on a tear. His BA is over .280 now. Oh damn, Kloess gets a 4 inning Save at Great Falls. Don't see that often. Edited July 30, 200916 yr by dasox24

You'll have to share how it goes whenever it's rescheduled.

July 30, 200916 yr D2 struggling a bit lately. Kevin Dubler, last year's highest catcher selection for the Sox, finally showing a pulse in Great Falls after an awful start. Hitting .308 in his last 10 games with half his hits for doubles, hits in 6 of his last 7 starts. He was giving up a lot of playing time to NDFA Chase Blackwood, but now they have reversed and Dubler is getting the majority of the playing time.

July 30, 200916 yr My two seats, plus a full season parking pass, playoff tickets comped, all star events this year, just $945. My seats are the most expensive in the park, the lot I park in is up front, plus we have waitress service in our section. We're right behind the 1st base (home) dugout. The seat right next to ours is unclaimed by the way.
July 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) The seat right next to ours is unclaimed by the way. Which is good if you put on a lotta weight. Plenty of room.
July 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) Which is good if you put on a lotta weight. Plenty of room. With the food they have at Regions, that's very likely.
July 30, 200916 yr has anybody seen enough of Morel to say if he has the defensive skills to play 3b. Like to see him finish the year at Birmingham, but that is unlikely with Dayan in his path. Dayan, Morel or Retherford, one of those guys needs to take over at 3b by 2011

Dayan, Morel or Retherford, one of those guys needs to take over at 3b by 2011 He only has 6 or 7 errors all season, so it seems he's statistically good.

Dayan, Morel or Retherford, one of those guys needs to take over at 3b by 2011 According to BA, he is very solid and has a good arm. He could be a good one. He is an ideal 3B because he is not only good with the glove, but has plus range. I hope he continues to progress because he looks like a keeper.

He was also rated as having the best infield arm in the Org coming into the year by BA
