PrintThis week:
Today we got confirmation of the first round of September call-ups: SS Eduardo Escobar, RHP Addison Reed and RHP Shane Lindsay. A.J. Pierzynski also re-joins the club today. I went over Escobar and Reed last week but here's the quick and dirty about Lindsay:
Shane Lindsay is a 26 year old right-hander from Australia. This season: 50 G, 70.1 IP, 32 H, 59 BB, 90 K. Yes, that's a 7.5 BB/9, which is nothing unusual for him. He also added 10 wild pitches and 9 hit batters. Why he merits a call-up is anyone's guess. Maybe minor leaguers are so afraid of getting killed that they don't hit (4.1 H/9) and just strikeout (11.5 K/9). We'll see how that works out in the majors.
You can probably expect some more pitching reinforcements to arrive for Monday's doubleheader, and perhaps a Jordan Danks on Tuesday after Charlotte's season is over
On to the other news:
- Labor Day marks the end of the minor league regular season for the full-season affiliates. The Barons have already qualified for the playoffs as the first half division champions. The Intimidators are currently a half game back of Greensboro, who they play in the final four games. If they take three, they're in for sure. The Dash are also a half game out. The Knights, per usual, are not even close.

The patience of a saint.
Trying to score runs with Juan Pierre as your leadoff hitter is like trying to suture a wound in a moving car. You might still be successful -- but why make it so hard on yourself?

i'm living in a dimension where history never happened
it’s called ozzieopia.
Only disagreement I have
De Aza should be batting 2. Ramirez should be in a run producing role.
i'll take it

Highly underrated, Mark Kotsay became the best defensive designated hitter in American League history in 2010.

agreed
especially with AJ at DH rather than T-Flo
So fast he could hit a ball up the middle and it would hit him in the ass sliding into second.
Could just be easing AJ back from injury. Also, Danks isn’t really a “wild pitch” threat and Flowers has a better throwing arm.

Do we really have a "wild pitch" threat?
Gavin has 9, which is top 10 in the league, but usually his curveball isn’t getting that buried in the dirt that makes it hard to stop. I would imagine Sale is tough to catch, but usually you don’t make up your daily line (especially catcher) based on who will be relieving your starter.

I don't have access to his Australian numbers, but I can't imagine Shane walked that many back home.
Compared to here, his strike zone must’ve been the size of Uluru.
I see you've played knifey/spoony before.

I have no idea what's happening with this exchange, but I love it.
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
Is this where I ask that Brett guy a question?

Holy crap.

now that's a superstar mom.
Reed’s family jumped on a plane to DET last nite and beat their son here. Lindsay’s mom flew in from Australia and will make it just in time
Because she forgot to shower.

Ok. She didn't have time to shower.

I found Sydney's brothels to be of the highest repute.

And if we see either one the Sox better be up by 10.

No argument here. But the regulars are rested nicely. Though maybe in place of Frasor?
