It depends on which blog you are reading, but now now you have either discovered that I am a huge baseball fan, or that I have a twisted sense of humor and like to rant about just about anything. Whichever it is I hope you enjoy your stay and spread the word.

  2. On Hyatt, it might be pointed out that J.C. Romero started and pitched a clean 1st inning. So Hyatt did 6 innings and had 7 strikeouts.
    Brian Gump started in the opener and played RF, and D’Arby Myers DNP. Gump 2 for 4 , so he is not terribly overmatched or a sacrifice yet.
    Fidel Hernandez played over Melvin Dorta at 2B. 2 for 4
    Kennelly was the catcher 0 for 5 w/ 2 K’s.
    Susdorf played left.
    Rizzotti DH and Hanzawa SS were the top hitters on the night with 3 hits each.

    Looking forward to seeing how the 3 pitchers do tonight.

    thanks again for running this site.

  9. I’m pretty sure Harold Garcia is on the Clearwater roster but is DL’d. Anyone know what the injury is or when he’ll be back?
