6/25 wrap up.
First, I was a probably too harsh on Bruin yesterday, so apologies if I offended.
Taylor Smart is in a cool situation with the Y-D Sox. He's played, 3B, 2B and SS, he's batted 1st, 9th and in between. It must suck to have to adjust everyday, but it makes him valuable I would think. His stat line reads 0 for 1 with a run and an RBI, but he got on base one time on shear hustle, and by an E another time. I can't say he's made the team for sure, but he's made the team.
Maddox, whew...well it wasn't a bad night. Those coastal plain games, I can only listen, but he's up to the same old tricks...i.e. gettin' picked off stealing. Like I said, I wasn't watching, but it sure sounded bad.
Wormsley, Bily and Houser, all have moments, but they get K's too often. This might not be the best time to bring this up, but we are gonna miss Bennett's offense next year. Houser has improved behind the plate defensively, Manis was pretty good already. Still...
Vjax, welp...If I were a pitcher, I'd throw every ball at the outside corner UNTIL he swings at it. VJax is content to wait until he has an offering right over the middle, and he got a double on one of those tonight. But, pitches on the corners, he's lost.
I generally only contemplate on the games I can watch and tonight is no different. I watched Smart, VJax and the Miners game with BCourt, Stew and AJ. Stewart is showing great patience at the plate, and AJ, who didn't have a great game tonight, does what is necessary at the moment. His bunt single tonight was superb. Without, AJ's bunt and Stews 2 RBI's, the Miners aren't even in the game. BCourt got off to a rocky start, but he settled down, pitched well despite not having great location on his breaking stuff. In the end, it was enough to win, and maintain their second place standing in the ABL.
GBO!
