Well, I'm happy to say that we took 2 of 3 from the Royals after losing 2 of 3 to the Angels--that series was not pretty.
My main note from today was a nifty square and throw from Sardinha to nip CoCo Crisp at second. Very nicely done. Our catchers are clamping down on the base-runners. I like that. His light-hittingness even got an RBI today on a sac fly. Rod Allen said Sardinha's nickname was pineapple. It sounded kind of sterotype-ish to me. Let's start calling the Latin players taco.
I was wondering about young Dusty Ryan, so I peeked at his numbers. He's struggling a little at that plate, batting .175 over 40 at bats with the Hens so far. I guess they just want him to get his reps in at the lower-pressured level. Probably not a bad idea.
Right now, the Red Sox are poised to sweep the Yankees, so I hope they don't come into our house will all kinds of pent-up, angry energy that inspires them to kick our tails around.
Beck said on Twitter that the reason Dusty wasn't called up was because the organization wants him playing regularly. I'm ok with that. I want him to get real good before he's called up. I'm very partial to him. I think it's the name "Dusty Ryan." How freaking cool is that for a catcher's name?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not too worried about Dane. The way I figure it is, Treanor had been hitless without one walk. Dane has already done one better by driving in a run.
