at game, my thoughts.
ReplyDeletedidnt get to game till the 3rd, cuz la was filled with earth day stuff that made getting to the fway a nightmare
score lopsided thanks to some sloppy d by 66ers and a lost ball in sun by 66ers cf, which led to i believe 3 runs
angel hits the ball frickin hard...was sitting on home side, so i didnt get a great look at his footwork at first. his swing is a tad bit long. he did hit a ball that everyone in my section was sure was gonna be out, but it just died at the track
cavan was dh. he can hit a ball pitching...we all know that
tomlinson has good range...ok arm...but arm strength can be built at this level
haney too has good range, quick turn for dp and a nice bat
am i crazy to say that chris lofton reminds me a lot of kenny? kid has great range in cf...saw him run down a blast that i was sure was gonna be a gapper, and he is pretty quick on the base paths
meija kept the 66ers off balance with a nice regimen of offspeed stuff, but did hang one which led to a 3 run bomb
rojas and bowlin throw hard...but i didnt see a lot of movement...of course, i was off to the side, so its hard to judge
brought 3 kids who had never seen an milb game before...and as we were leaving the park, all 3 grabbed schedules and spent the drive back going over games they for sure wanted to attend in the future...then spent the first hour at home telling their dad and older sister how they had to go to a game cuz they would love it...warmed my heart
wanted to see payne, but there is always next time
dont know the ceilings for these kids...but they are fun to watch

Thanks for the report, Bacci. Yeah, where else in America these days can you just walk up to the window at game time, buy a very affordable ticket or 4 and have seats close enough to hear the players talking? Saturday night, my daughter and I were in the second row behind the Giants dugout. When they came in from warmups, the players flipped balls over the dugout to the kids sitting in the front row, enough that they all got balls and a few to spare. There was a big kid behind us who got chosen to put the Ford puzzle together for a free oil change at Redlands Ford. Big whoop, but he and his family were sure jazzed about just going down on the field and being part of the atmosphere. Gotta love minor league ball even if you aren't a prospect hound.
DeleteI agree about Villalona hitting the ball hard. He may have a long swing, but it ain't nearly as long as Mac's. If he makes it, he's going to be a Cecil Fielder/David Ortiz type of fielder/runner, but man, that bat has a chance to be special.
agree about angel. i havent heard that sound of a ball coming off a bat in a long time. when he makes contact, it is solid.
Deleteaccording to ritzo, crick has mild oblique, but still may miss one or two starts, because the org wants to play it safe.
and ya, the whole experienced is designed for kids and families to have fun, the way veck used to do it.

oops...should say at sj game
