Glaus starts rehab assignment
Troy Glaus will start tonight for Rancho against Inland Empire.
Wow.
UPDATE: According to Bill McDonald, Glaus' ETA is 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.
Once again, wow.
UPDATE: Here's how sudden this decision was- Glaus was nearly scratched from the starting lineup because he stuck in traffic. And apparently the Quakes didn't bring any extra helmets on their road-trip, because Troy was wearing his red Angel's helmet during his first at-bat (a fly-out to center on the first pitch he saw).
UPDATE: Glaus just crushed a 3-run homerun in the top of the sixth. Holy bejebus!
UPDATE: Final line for Troy: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 HR.
I must say, it was a real treat listening to a minor league game for the first time in years (I used to attend Bakersfield Dodgers games all the time as a kid, but since I moved to the big city it's been strictly big leagues). You could really feel the atmosphere of the ballpark through the broadcast- people chatting, laughing, and heckling- things you don't normally get through a big league broadcast.
Oh yeah- Rancho Cucamonga won the game 4-1 behind seven strong innings by my favorite Angels' prospect, Steven Shell. He collected six more strikeouts to bring his total to 180 in 154 IP. Yowza!
