I might as well just post this here too.

His name is Reuben Mills Rogers, and he's currently playing for the Hagerstown Suns. If he makes it to the Show, he'll be on the Nationals unless traded.

He was recently called up from the GCL Nationals, and he was acting as the first base coach for the first few innings of the game. When third baseman Stephen King (no joke, that's the kid's actual ( Read more... )

First things first. The Mets and Red Sox both won tonight, and it was really exciting - Wakefield got the win for the Sox, and he's now the all-time innings leader in Boston. The man is absolutely amazing. Wakefield is just the epitome of baseball - he works hard, shows up every day, never gives up, and is just downright brilliant and awe-inspiring ( Read more... )

A few baseball notes on my very last day of classes as a junior in college (when did I get this old?):

~ Going to see the Sox and Orioles tomorrow! I'm going to get a look at Daisuke's first post-rehab start of the year (and about one millionth overall), so that'll be fun. I feel terrible for the Orioles in general and Brian Matusz in particular, ( Read more... )

Drew Storen is blogging the Arizona Fall League! So far he's posted three entries, which are here, here and here.

So apparently I missed something last night when I was watching the Nationals open up their lovely new ballpark.

But don't worry - other people caught it. Supposedly the ESPN commentators said something to the effect that they aren't counting the two games we played against the A's as real Opening Day games because we, well, didn't play them in ( Read more... )

So ends the regular season.

I'm watching on Gameday right now. It's the bottom of the sixth as I alternately type this and study my Japanese. It's sad that it's all over now, I have to say, but there's always a postseason to look forward to.

So ends Dustin Pedroia's quest to beat Jim Viox. Pedroia was taken out in the top of the sixth to give Alex ( Read more... )

Right, let me try to come down to earth for a minute so I can write this.

Yesterday didn't seem like it would be the best baseball day I've had in months at first. I found out in the middle of the afternoon that Clay had been shut down for the season and the Yankees had a strong lead over the Orioles for most of their game. The Sox won, of course, ( Read more... )
