O's acquire Alec Asher - RHP

[Frobby]

"The Milquetoasts."

[Beef Supreme]

If you want to go with an equine-themed nicknamed, I suggest "The Mule-Team."

[Rene88]

He is starting tonight for Norfolk for anyone interested in an exhibition. Not sure it will be televised on MILB.tv or not.

no tv (and was working late), but heard he threw 3 scoreless (I believe against a college team though)....

Chris Dickerson had a nice game with a homer and a double.

Check out the Norfolk Tides Twitter feed, they are surprisingly informative not just promotions

When they play a college team, which bats do the college players use?

I'm guessing that this outing was part of the reason for Asher's promotion to the Orioles.

Let's go, Alec.

We really need a nickname for these guys.  We had the "Calvary".  What should we call these guys?

Well considering a badminton inspired theme reflecting their back and forth trips from team to team and from the minors to the the majors, I'd suggest "The Shuttlecocks!"

I just want to point out that it's Cavalry not Calvary. 

Most of them did end up getting crucified.
