Thanks to a rain out of my son's game, we were able to take in our first Greeneville Astros game of the year.
Liked:
Rosales - had one at bat where he fouled off at least 7 pitches, he didn't get a hit but it was impressive to see him battle in a late inning at bat. He also had a nice stolen base.
Brown - runs well in the field and on the bases. First ball, fast ball hitter
Henriquez - took two walks, that brings him up to 5 for the season through 6 games. He only had 6 all of last year. Had several nice blocks of balls in the dirt.
On the mound, Bass was inconsistant but did pitch out of a bases loaded, no out jam only allowing one run. But he had put him self in the jam with a 4 pitch walk.
Fox looked pretty good. Mayora looked the best until the 10th.
In the 10th, with a runner on 3rd and two outs, DeJesus came out to the mound to visit with Mayora. I thought he would walk Tyler Flowers, who had hit a monster home run earlier. Instead, Mayora pitched to him and he knocked a double to the wall which gave the Braves the lead and eventually was the winning run. Mayora may have been told to pitch around Flowers and made a mistake but I still think an inintial walk was in order.
Team must cut down on K's and runners left on base.
