11 Innings for both Lex and CC with different outcomes

Posted on April 4, 2008 by Duman in From the Bus Stop

Round Rock was rained out of their opener and Salem opens their season tonight. So the only two teams playing last night were Lexington and Corpus Christi. They both went to 11 innings with the Legends losing and the Hooks pulling out a win.

Lexington

Asheville beat the Legends 5-4 in 11 last night. Astros pitchers did well with one exception. Leandro Cespedes struck out 6 and walked 3 during his 4 innings of work, allowing only one run and two hits. Abad, Robinson and Kelly combined for 5 innings of shutout ball with Kelly tallying four k’s along the way. Pacella took the loss without an earned run. The exception of the night was Mike Koons who allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk in 1 inning. He and Max Sapp allowed 3 stolen bases in that inning. Overall Asheville runners were 5 out of 6 against Sapp. This is a trend we will be watching.Read More

Lex Preview: Slimmer Sapp, Smallball & Piggyback Pitching

Posted on April 2, 2008 by Duman in From the Bus Stop

The Lexington Herald Leader has a overview of the Legends online today. The article contained a photo of a much slimmer Max Sapp, who it is reported dropped 35 pounds during the off season.

Smallball:

Langbehn said this team will feature aggressive base running. They are most likely to win with “small ball” rather than relying on a power game.

“The thing I like about the roster is kids that can run,” Langbehn said. “You can do things with them offensively. You can steal bases. You can hit-and-run, and go first-to-third on singles. … Of the 13 (position players), I would say 10 of them have a legitimate chance of stealing a base at any time.”
