Is Akin just John Parrish? Feel like Akin is destined to be a middle reliever.

Parrish was the truth for a hot minute. I don’t see Akin getting to that level.

Ortiz is seeing a good bit of action with the ML team. More so than Westburg or Gunnar. I wonder if they view him as someone who could play in Baltimore this year.

Good thing we kept Joey Krehbiel on the 40 man roster all winter.

[interloper]

Can we secure the tie??

[interloper]

Another Cowser AB, another good result. A walk to lead off the bottom of the 8th. 

I like this kid. 

[interloper]

Diaz doubles in Cowser. Diaz is doing that whole tantalizing thing.

[interloper]

Ortiz drives in Diaz with a single.

I remember him having a very good slider in the very limited action I saw him in last year. Nothing else though.

He already possesses MLB-level defense at SS, so once they confirm his bat is still doing what it did before he got hurt last year, I don't see much point in keeping him down very long. I could see a cup of coffee this year.

Jahmai Jones a walk and a double today.

Yes exactly. It makes sense for him to start at Norfolk to give Westburg and Gunnar more opportunities at SS.
