AFL update
Outfielder Nolan Reimold has homered in his last two games for the Surprise Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, but he's got a way to go to bounce back from a very slow start at the plate. He has hit safely in his last three games to raise his average to .156. His home run on Monday accounted for the only run in a 28-1 loss to the Mesa Solar Sox.
Matt Wieters has cooled off some, going 0 for 7 in his last two games to drop his average to .345. He was among the top five hitters in the league for the first couple weeks of the season, but ranks 18th. Brandon Snyder is batting .429, but does not have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting rankings.

Was that a typo or was the score really 28-1? I'd love to see that box score!

Pete's reply: That was the score. I guess they want these Orioles prospects to know what it's really like to play in the major leagues.

28-1?? Did Trembley sign another contract extension on Monday or something?

Pete's reply: The thought did cross my mind.

28-1? Did... did you say... 28-1?? Is that in any way better than, say, 30-3?

Pete's reply: Don't know why everyone getting so excited. It's just a 27-run deficit.

28 to 1 is way better than the 30 to 3 because none of the O's pitchers were involved!

Did Chad Thall give up 24 of the 28 runs and still manage to lower his ERA?

Pete's reply: No, in his last outing, he pitched 2.2 scoreless innings and struck out four.
