1. MM1f Posted: April 22, 2006 at 09:49 PM (#1982443)Seems like a way to reduce travel expenses.
BJ Upton broke up the team no-hitter with a solo homer in the sixth - it's 1-0 Durham in the 7th.
The umpires let them play in pretty heavy rain in the top of the 7th just long enough for Charlotte to tie the game on a wild pitch. If they'd called for the tarp between innings, Durham would have won. Instead, it's suspended for 2 months until Charlotte visits again.
As a White Sox fan, I was horrified by the swing of semi-prospect Jerry Owens. It was a weak wristed left handed swing and he barely looked capable of hitting the ball out of the infield. He's no better than Willie Harris.
As rLr wrote in #2, the intent is to reduce travel costs. Orlando's move to Montgomery prior to 2004, followed by Greenville's move to Pearl prior to last season, left the league seriously imbalanced geographically, with Carolina (especially), Jacksonville, and Tennessee facing severe amounts of time on buses. Because the move to Pearl wasn't finalized until February 2005, the league couldn't do more than just a quick fix last year (which among other things led to Carolina and Chattanooga playing each other 38 times), but they put a great deal of work into the schedule this year, going to five-game series and five or ten game homestands max. It's still not perfect, but it's a far sight better than last year.

I'd forgotten that.
Of course, the minute I said something nice about him, he was DL'd himself.

There's a guy on SOSH named AZBlue who is also a big minor league guy. He agrees with your assessment of Pedroia at SS and has been advocating that he be used as a 2B. What did you think of his range?
I wonder what you make of his great defensive rep in college? Was it just his hitting and his scrappiness?
Hard to tell. The two plays he made were routine grounders, and I don't recall any plays that he didn't make that another shortstop might have made.
I didn't remember that he had one.

It was quite good as I recall. I saw him for Team USA and (tho i dont remember his arm) he made a bunch of great diving stops. Im pretty sure he took home some D hardware in college
