bighurt4life Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) Brandon Allen was promoted to Birmingham. nice, bout time. i think that he's got some real potential. not only does he hit for great power but he's got a decent average and can even steal a base, I think he's got about 15 swipes right now. i'm excited to see how he performs at the higher level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Allen hit a homerun in his first at-bat with the Barons!! Off of David Price too!!! Attaboy Brandon! Edited July 18, 2008 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) And Allen hits another homerun in his second at-bat!!! Also off of Mr. Untouchable... David Price. Coming into tonight's game, Price was 8-0 with a 1.68 ERA this season and had given up ZERO homeruns all year.

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 um... did we make a trade that hasn't been announced? Because some guy named Freddie Thon, a firstbaseman who MiLB says is on Bakersfield, supposedly played today for Winston-Salem. And is that Dickie Thon's kid?

Don't know if there is a connection to Dicky Thon or not. Freddie was playing for the Joliet Jackhammers in the Northern League when we picked him up. http://www.northernleague.com/cgi-bin/reca...i?id=1212703169 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Atkins is their closer. Rob did hit a HR in the game. Knights lost 6-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN, what are your thoughts on watching Gartrell play? He's long been someone that both Gage and I have been interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
