Springfield looking great so far.

Duce - any idea if there is a plan to use Doyle in this series? Starter? Relief?
Thanks

No clue...as of yet.

I tried listening to every Springfield podcast, pregame, etc I could....nothing on Doyle

Hansen coughs up a Lead off double

here's where they miss Davis.....Mendlinger in RF couldn't get to the ball.....Ugueto is playing CF today, but is usually your RF, with speed...

Duce, your take on Baez?

turned his career around after changing his swing really late in last season...he was demoted to Dev. List from Peoria last season to work on the correction....he was swing first, flyball (flyout) hitter that missed a lot. His ground out % rose this year, and his Fly out % went down....his K% is healthier than it was....

basically his bat travels in the zone much more than it did before...or it stays in the zone longer...if you want better baseball speak.

I'll judge him more come AAA when he says MUCH better pitching. But he's extremely patient now, and that's not something he'll lose Memphis....so that's a firm foundation there.

Thx

trouble may be brewing for Hansen....quick 2 outs, then a liner by Gazdar, and E5 on Mendoza....
