Cassel stinking up the joint.

Charlotte trailing 2-0 in the 2nd. Beckham- sharp single to left field in his first AB. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...94&sid=t494 Birmingham http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...47&sid=t247 Winston-Salem http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...80&sid=t580 Kannapolis http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...87&sid=t487

Barons win. Nice.

Viciedo missed a popup to begin the bottom of the 10th. Man on 2nd, nobody out.

Gartrell RBI single in the 10th. 13-12 Barons

Barons just put up a 5 spot to tie it up in the 9th. Grand Slam for John Shelby. Still batting 1 out.

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...80&sid=t580 Big night for Salvador Sanchez, and nice game for Lowe.

Charlotte wins 3-1. Contreras gets the win. He'll be up Monday to pitch in the doubleheader, I'm sure. Beckham 1-4, double (21), run, throwing error (10).

Omogrosso is all over the place. Gave up 6 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks in the 1st inning. 39 pitches. 18 strikes. 21 balls.

Beckham is 0-2, but has hit the ball hard twice. First AB--hit a liner to Zach Jackson. The ball deflected and was caught by the first baseman. His 2nd Ab--he hit a hard shot to 3B, and Marte made the error.

Kannapolis won 9-6. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...87&sid=t487 Charlotte is trailing. Beckham 0-1. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?g...colaaa_chraaa_1 Birmingham is off to a fast start. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?g...biraax_hunaax_1 Winston-Salem http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...80&sid=t580

I don't know when it happened, but they took a hit away from Beckham. The first inning bunt single was changed to a sacrifice and an error to move him to second. He was 10-20. Now he's 9-19 at Charlotte.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) He wore #5 with the Barons, they have no #6 jersey. He wore #8 with Kanny last year. Eduardo Escobar was wearing #6 when Beckham joined the team. I think they'll give him #6 when he goes up. I think it would be great if the team finally gave a player 6...and Beckham would be a good guy to give it to. I don't think he'll get it though. I think it's a Reinsdorf thing. I don't know why, but 25 would look cool--next year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) The problem is that we don't have the most steady defensive team out there already, and a few of our pitchers don't pitch over mistakes well. And with 9 errors that would put him on pace for about the low thirties over a full 162 games Our division winning team made 33 errors at 3B last year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) I'm not worried about his bat, I am worried about the nine errors he has already in a much slower game at the minor league level. Errors happen. I'm not too worried about it. It's not like he's on pace for 40-50 of them. Now, if he plays 3B exclusively and he's just plain bad, then we have a problem.

Different teams, but Danks and Beckham are both 3-5.

I think a lot of people (including myself) are trying to talk themselves into thinking he's not ready simply because he was drafted just last year, and he hasn't played a certain amount of minor league games. Even Joe Cowley had a Twitter earlier saying Ozzie said "if Beckham comes up, we're in trouble." Well Ozzie, I got news for you. He's ready.

Gordon Beckham is 2-2. Bunt single, double, 2 runs, 2 RBIs Batting .529 at Charlotte. Charlotte leads 7-0 in the 2nd inning.

He'll play 25 games at Charlotte and be up on June 23.

Charlotte lost. Contreras no decision. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...94&sid=t494

Beckham reached on another error. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it to a hit. I'm saying he's 2-4 today.

Contreras implosion. Gave up 4 runs. There was blown call at 2B. Chambliss got thrown out. After Contreras gave up a 2-run homer, Andy Phillips went off on the ump. He was tossed.

Lillibridge with a three run homer. See Ozzie, he is a power hitter. Beckham doubled. He's 1-3.

2nd AB: Beckham flies out on a first pitch.

E6--Beckham safe at 1st
