Keith Ginter a Bullpen Call-Up?!?
Funny but true, Keith Ginter comes in relief, pitching for the Rivercats last Saturday.
His line: 2.0 IP / 3H / 1BB / 2R.
As Defrancesco mentions, the Rivercats are "battling" as the A's recent callups have depleted their roster.
I am just amazed how KG who 2 years ago was hitting a bunch of homeruns for the Brewers (19, 2004) has evolved not just into a utility infielder but a relief pitcher as well.
I guess the organization has to make sense of the money they are throwing into Ginter this year. I believe he earns around 1.5M.

2 innings??
When was the last time...
For some reason or another, I'll always remember Mark Grace coming in for the Diamondbacks a few years ago and doing his Mike Fetters impression. It was the funniest relief appearance by a non-pitcher I'd ever seen...

in 2000, Menechino pitched an inning.
It was a big loss at Coors field. I guess that Howe didn't want to shatter the mental perspective of any more pitchers and he threw Frankie out there.
Frank's line?
IP H R ER BB SO HR
Menechino 1 6 4 4 0 0 1
A whip of 6. An ERA of 36.00. Nice.
