Never let it be said that we don't go the full mile to cover sports here at Inky and the Sports guys. This weekend the team is coming together (we really think it's special when we all come at the same time) so we can cover some sports live. The Orioles top prospect, Matt Weiters, got his call up from Frederick to Bowie last night, and so we are heading down to Prince Georges Stadium to see him in person. We would have seen him in Frederick, but Harry Grove stadium is a shit hole, in addition to being a funny euphemism for a vagina, so we passed.
Weiters should be in the bigs as the O's starting catcher next year, and to that end he's been living up to all the hype in the minors. At Frederick he hit .345 with 15 Homers and 40 RBI in 69 games. (huh huh huh, I typed 69) He walked 44 times while striking out 47 in his 229 at bats. Now all he needs to do is hit in the .310 to .320 range at Bowie, and still hit for power and we'll know he's more Mark Teixeira than Jason Werth.
Check back on Sundy for a full report on the game.
