Saturday's Birthdays:

Timber Rattlers RHP Quinton Low turns 24 today. You may remember this from the Link Report for games of August 7th:

There was a scary moment in the Timber Rattlers game as RHP Quinton Low took a 106 MPH liner directly off his face, somehow exiting on his own power, but it was initially a bloody sight. We are hopeful we'll learn he'll be OK."

Low has since been placed on the 60-day IL and there's been no official word on his status. Some additional background was provided in the Wisconsin section of that linked report above.

Also -

Low's T-Rat teammate, catcher Marco Dinges, celebrates his 23rd birthday today, unfortunately also on the IL, the 7-day version as of August 14th. Barring a surprise activation this weekend, Marco's regular season is over. Perhaps a return to the Arizona Fall League, where Dinges was limited to two games last year?

I gave up on Wilson last week. Haven't watched a game since I went to the Doubleheader vs Hickory last weekend.
