Escobar continues to be red hot.

Salome and Lucroy continue to struggle.

good thing we have such an awesome catcher with the big club already

Also, cheese.

Speaking of Salome...

Just curious Jeff, why do his career stats include a “2006 Total” line when he only played for one club? (And possibly related, the Defense view shows 10 innings played for an Orioles affiliate that year…?)

yes, it's a long, messy story

basically, i didn’t know how to program in 2006.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 9, 2009 10:43 AM CDT up reply actions

That wasn't long.

the actual story is long

that’s why I substituted a different explanation.

Also, cheese.

it wasn't messy, either

Escobar might as well be standing outside Melvin's door screaming:

CALL ME UP!

A triple and a homerun?

I didn’t know Escobar had a big stick to pair with that bazooka hose of his.

Don't know how much power he has

But it looks like he is an extreme ground ball hitter, which should serve him well with his speed. Probably won’t ever hit a lot of homers since his FB% is so low.

by grant76 on Jun 9, 2009 9:58 AM CDT up reply actions

Maybe should've clarified

That that wasn’t a serious comment, but instead one meant to play off of the early season story regarding his hose.

Impressive outing for Chase Wright...

5+ IP and just 4 runs given up, but a game score of only 29. Gritty! Looks like that happens only about once a year in the majors. (59 times since 1954 with a GmSc <30 according to PI, the record holder being this 24.)
