Anthony Reyes Watch

I know, I know...I suck at this blog thing.

2006-06-14T09:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, I know it's been a while, but I talked to Anthony the other day and he said that Reyes Watch was the only site he checked for news about himself. So, I felt bad for having pretty much abandoned the site and decided to post again. I make no promises to get articles up as soon as they come out, but I will try to get the most significant stuff up as soon as I can. In any event, here are the most recent articles, enjoy:

I just wanted to let everyone know that this article is incorrect. Anthony was not injured in Saturday's game against the Reds. The injured player was in fact Al Reyes, not Anthony. Just keeping everyone in the loop.

Well, Anthony finally got his second shot at big league play today when he was thrown in to relieve Carpenter in the 5th. However, there isn't much to report in terms of news articles featuring Anthony since he was only put in for 2 innings. Although receiving the loss for the game when he gave up a home run in the 5th, Anthony managed to strike out 4 in his two innings of work; not too bad if you ask me. The following link is the general recap and stats for the game.

Game Wrap (which doesn't even mention Anthony)

Sounds ground Redbirds again (which barely mentions Anthony) - Nashville City Paper

Recap: Well, it seems there was an all time first for this game; Anthony was officially ejected from a game. In the bottom of the 6th, Anthony hit the Sound's Corey Hart by a pitch. Without even a warning, home plate umpire Kevin Kelley ejected Anthony immediately. It has been confirmed that the incident was in fact an accident, and I for one believe it. It was the bottom of the 6th, the score was tied 1-1 against the division rivals, there was a man on second and third, and the clean up batter was on deck: it just wouldn't make sense to hit a batter on purpose and load the basis for one of the Sound's best hitters. I heard that even the first base umpire thought the call was questionable. In any event, Anthony was given a no-decision after he pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits, walking 2 and racking up 4 strike outs; his ERA is now 3.10.
