The game today was pretty much a bust. The River Bandits ran into a fireballer with control on the Chiefs and just could not get anything going all day. McNitt was the sacrificial lamb and to be honest, I didn't see anything special with the kid. Fastball in the mid 80s, but did throw a decent curve a few times for strikes. As I said, Bregman was the DH and didn't square up anything in his at-bats. That said, neither did anyone else.
Martin looked good in LF.. seemed to have good instincts.
Trompiz looks to be pressing a little bit in the field. He played shortstop today and he seemed to be serviceable. However, one particular play stands out in my mind. Chiefs had a runner on first and 3rd and a sharp grounder was hit to shortstop. You could see that Kristian wanted to go home with it but he had trouble making the transfer from glove to hand and had to record the out at first. Overall it didn't matter but it stuck out in my mind.
Also, he was tagged the "strikeout hitter". That is, if the pitcher struck him out today, everyone in section 104 would get free Hardees. Perhaps a little more pressure on the guy but he never did strike out.
All in all, a pretty forgettable game on getaway day.
