I have to admit having something of a soft spot for the athletes I covered when I was operating Sandiegosportstown.com, so I was thrilled to see a pair of local athletes receive September call-ups to their major league teams.
Infielders Mike McCoy (Grossmont HS and USD) and Freddy Sandoval (the old Marian Catholic HS and USD) were brought up by the Rockies and Angels, respectively. McCoy's mother was a regular attendee at Toreros games and was very nice to me, so it's easy to root for him. Catcher and 1B Kyle Phillips (El Capitan HS) was brought up by the Blue Jays. He's part of a very active baseball family in the East County.
The news was far from perfect as the Orioles put CF Adam Jones (Morse HS) on the 15-day disabled list with a severe sprain of his left ankle. And the Giants sent P Alex Hinshaw (SDSU) back to the minors after walking seven and compiling an ERA of 12 in six innings pitched.
USD's Brian Matusz has a 4-2 record with the Orioles, but he's been rocked around a bit, allowing 48 hits and 12 walks in 37.2 innings. That's why his ERA is 5.26.
