JPN366 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The Barons are back in town, but of course, there is a threat of rain all week. No rain for 10 days they are gone, rain possible all 5 days they are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Another great day for Nathan Jones. Kid is rising up the charts very fast. All I care about him is runs and walks, so if he isn't striking batters out (like today), it really doesn't concern me. I wonder if they are preaching the Bobby Jenks philosophy, sacrifice some velocity for more strikes and movement. Whatever it is, it's working.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 My boy Charlie finally lost a game - oh well, wasn't going to go all season undefeated. Other action... Columbus beating Charlotte 4-3 in the 3rd. Torres gave up 2 ER so far (and two unearned on a Castillo error at 3B, his 11th), Wise 1-2 with a double so far in his rehab game. Lucy and Ginter with doubles as well. MIssissippi @ B-Ham in warm-ups, Harrell goes for the Barons. Kanny was rained out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Rare to see Torres struggle this year. I really like him. The K rate in AAA is hard not to like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K rate in AAA is hard not to like. I'm glad its not just me. I see a lot to like in him. Also, random off topic... What is up with David Cook? Put aside for a moment the whole age and not-a-prospect thing, and let's just look at his AA numbers in 2008 and 2009: 2008: .313/.467/.577/1.044 (which is just sick, especially in that ballpark) 2009: .218/.353/.435/.788 How does that happen? Was his injury late last year something chronic? Does he have a flaw in his approach that the league figured out (which may also explain the Sox sending him back down to AA)? Something else? His IsoBB is still nearly the same: .135 this year, .154 last year, both very good numbers. but his AVG and slugging are way, way down. And he's better protected in this lineup. Theories?

flavum Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Barons put up a 6-spot in the 1st on 8 hits: Danks single to right, caught stealing Beckham single to center Flowers struck out looking Allen RBI double to RF that would have been a homer in most parks. Viciedo RBI double to RF Gartrell RBI single to center Cook infield single Shelby 3-run HR to LF Retherford single to center Danks walked Beckham flies out to CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depression.... looking at all the talent around him that is going to be playing for the WhiteSox... while he may miss his chance. And as a result, he's pressing to keep up with them and making it worse. No proof... just a theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: nevermind, palehose beat me to it. On a side note, Jordan Danks is batting .391 now. Yeah, it's only 64 AB's but come on. He's doing even better than High A so far. This is getting so awesome following this Barons team. Edited May 27, 2009 by dasox24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
