Game Recap
Duman reported:
A few observations from the game last night.Daz is fast! He tracked a ball down at the wall that looked like a double off the bat. He also moved from first to third on a play and accelerated very quickly. He went 3 for 4 last night with a double. Took a pick off throw to second in the back last night.
Tucker’s swing is sweet! He looks very skinny on the field. He has missed several homers by 10-15 feet. When he get’s some more meat on his frame, those will be well over the fence. He hit a double in the LC gap last night that short hopped the wall. Nice oppo power shown there. Doesn’t use batting gloves.
Diogenes Almango – I am excited about this kids arm. FB 91-94. Appears to have a slow curve and a slider/cutter. Had trouble commanding the cutter/slider. First name is pronounced (Di-o-HEN-is).
The other Astros game didn’t have quite the favorable outcome. The Houston Astros lost 9-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays. THey are 0-4 for the season against the Rays. It seems much of the team is pressing or just off a bit. Hopefully they can all go for ice cream before Tuesday’s game so they can at least prevent getting swept for the season.
