HIGH A
“DOTF” favorite Adam Rosales was back in the lineup as the DH and went 1 for 4. 23 year-old, Rosales is only batting .234 but as with most good hitters, even during a slump he still has a respectable .357 OBA. 23 year-old Cody Strait went 2 for 5 with 2 2B, 2 RBI, and two R. He is now hitting .274/ .348/.565.
LOW A
Shortstop Eric Eymann went 2 for 4 with a 2B, 2 RBI, and a R. On the season Eric is hitting .298/.375/.456.
Michael Griffin, who in his 4-year career at Baylor University appeared to be allergic to walks, went 2 for 5 with 2 R, and 2 RBI. This year he is hitting .301/.316/.507. That’s one walk in 74 plate appearances. Michael Michael Michael for the love of Pete LEARN THE STRIKEZONE!!!
Ihave a fealing rosales is going to have agreat night to night
Cody Strait had a huge week last week. He hit around .300 at Dayton after May of last year and is picking up where he left off. Leads the league in steals and has a gun in right field. He’s a 5-tool player who doesn’t seem to get much attention. I’m going to keep my eye on him.
During that short time Hall was with the Reds, I thought he’d be on the roster to stay. I don’t know what happened but he sure fell off the map.
