Jimenez (almost) invincible

August 30, 2007

After Bowie slugger Luis Jimenez mashed multiple-run home runs in each of the first three games of the series against Bowie this week – compiling 10 RBI along the way – Aeros pitchers continued to pitch to the Baysox first baseman Thursday.
Furthermore, they continued to do so with manager [...]

Panther Can Pitch

August 28, 2007

Being forced to use a position player to pitch in a game that’s way out of hand in order to save a team’s bullpen happens now and again. Not so much at the Double-A level as it does in Triple-A, yet that was the situation the Aeros faced Monday night in a blowout loss [...]

Aeros, Toregas update

August 23, 2007

The Areos wrapped up their important three-game set in Erie Wednesday night, limping out of town after going just 1-2.

What’s Up With This Team?

August 18, 2007

I get the sense the Aeros are driving a lot of fans crazy these days. At least they’ve been driving me crazy for a while now.

MERRY GO ROUND OUTFIELD

August 12, 2007

During a season that has featured more players than I can count changing roles – including several position players – perhaps it should have come as no surprise Sunday to find the Aeros outfield consist of only one true outfielder.
Sandwiched around usual center fielder Trevor Crowe were second baseman Argenis Reyes in left field and [...]

Bogar Thinks Loss of Players Could be Aeros Gain

August 8, 2007

A lot of baseball folks might not consider losing their No. 2 and No. 3 hitters a way to “jump start” a struggling team.
Yet that’s exactly what Aeros manager Tim Bogar believes happened to the Aeros when they lost shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and right fielder Brian Barton recently in a week’s [...]

Barton, Gimemez Gone, Head on Board

August 7, 2007

Well, it took a few more days than I expected, but Aeros outfielder Brian Barton was finally promoted to Triple-A Buffalo after Sunday’s game.
Good move for him, as he certainly deserves it after batting .314 (122-for-389) with 18 doubles, two triples, nine home runs, 59 RBI, 41 walks and of course, the Minor-League leading [...]
