Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Tabata Returns

José Tabata returned to the Altoona lineup this morning.  He was 0-2 with an infield popup and a centerfield flyout, while Altoona went down 1-3 to New Britain, and Daniel Moskos actually had a pretty good outing (7IP 2ER 1BB 3K) but got the hose on the loss.  He's now sitting on a pretty remarkable 2.55 GO/AO ratio, but he can't strike anyone out.

Tabata was replaced by Gorkys Hernández, who also went 0-2, presumably just to ease him back into the game.  Hernández didn't start, probably with this plan in mind in a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone approach since he has been slumping since joining Altoona.  I for one will be interested to see who moves out of CF when Tabata is back at "full strength".

Hopefully these two both start hitting and make Altoona a little more interesting (than watching paint dry), especially since Lincoln has been promoted.

From everything i’ve heard, Tabata is to be moved to LF or RF with Gorkys taking over CF.

thats good that he is back. I was actually sitting in class today wondering when he was going to be back cause i knew it should have been soon

Why not just move Tabata up to play CF at AAA when he shows he’s back from his injury?

Let one of them master the level first

First one to five three HR gets promoted. In other words, maybe next year.

2 for 22

since Gorkys became a part of the Pirate organization.

I’m not jumping the gun on this McLouth deal yet but Gorkys needs to get a hot streak goin.

Tabata = another hammy tweak.

Free your ass and your mind will follow.

DK says it was a cramp, which sounds relatively benign.

i had a feeling this was being blown out of proportion

by samvescovi on Jun 10, 2009 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions

Free your ass and your mind will follow.

Are you relieved that Tabata is not seriously injured? Or is that your reaction after too many Keystone Lights?

by patthatt on Jun 10, 2009 6:19 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes, relief.

Although I had a really long pee the other night after several Beck’s, and had much the same reaction…

Free your ass and your mind will follow.
