Bazardo - Express vs Sky Sox

Express pitcher Yorman Bazardo stole the show tonight.  7 innings pitched, 1 run.  He had the lone Express RBI until the bottom of the 7th, when they broke a 1-1 tie to give him the win.  He also made leaping grabs of bouncing grounders to start two double plays, and made a nifty catch and tag to nail a runner heading to first.  Seems that some room in the rotation could and should be cleared up for this guy...  (Note: these are impressions from one game.)

Honorable mention to Yordany Ramirez.  On a short fly ball that he had no business catching, he was running hard towards the infield, dove all-out, slamming against the ground, and got his glove under the ball.  Unfortunately it popped up a bit, and he was almost able to grab it, but couldn't.  Got a heartfelt standing-O, despite the run scoring on the play, for his unbelievable effort.

Later in the 9th he slammed hard into the side wall tracking down a foul ball.

Watching the way these two guys play the game really makes you feel good about the future of the organization!

Also I got Tommy Manzella's autograph on one of my old Tulane scorecards.  Didn't catch up with Bogey, maybe next time.

Is ridiculous.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
