Did you watch the 9th inning?

 

Meh, he left a couple normally good pitches up a little on a night with the wind howling out. I'm not terribly concerned. He didn't walk anybody and got a couple ks.

Alamo was a college catcher from last years draft right? Feels like he should be in Daytona, maybe he's younger than I was thinking.

He was high school. He's 18 right now.

Yeah, those were 1 lazy fly ball and 1 deep fly ball on a normal day. Bad location on both pitches though. I like Strop.

I may be in the minority, but I enjoy seeing a Baez single or double in the boxscore more than a HR. Obviously, I watch the HR highlights, but I kinda feel like I know he can and will hit HRs. Even when he's slumping, he goes like 2-19 with 2 HRs. I feel like when he singles (especially to the right side like yesterday) that he's more locked in and not trying to murder every ball.

We'll then it makes perfect sense for him to be in AZ then, I dunno why I was thinking he was a college guy.
