Up: Nolan Reimold (OF): .394 AVG, 11 doubles, 9 homeruns, 27 RBIs
Down: Bob McCrory (SP): 3 GMS, 5 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 9.00 ERA
With the uncertainty of Adam Jones’ hamstring injury, Felix Pie’s stomach ailment, and Luke Scott’s left shoulder, the Orioles had to make a roster move before traveling to Kansas City and starting a 9 game road trip.
With out sending one of their 3 outfielders to the disabled list, which they may do later, the O’s sent Bob McCrory to Norfolk and added Nolan Reimold to their bench. Dave Trembley said the move was decided during the game and had nothing to do with McCrory’s performance.
Now we'll finally get to see Reimold with the big club. He's in the lineup tonight. Here's hoping he does well, though I wish we had some pitchers that were ready to help out.
It's going to be interesting to see whether Reimold stays up when Hill gets called up…I predict he'll be the one the O's send down.
