Key West (KEYW)

Wind S10 mph
And Freddie makes his first “save on a low throw” from AGon

P-Town Brave:
probably right. not hit all that hard, but not a great pitch either. Zimmerman effectively used the hole created by the runner on first.

For some reason my internet connection was down during the 1st inning.
While I still insist that The Dipper is going to struggle hitting in the #3 slot….it was nice to see both him and McCann get hits to put us on top 1-0. The Dipper did look decent running the bases.
However, it remains to be seen whether he can stay healthy. That’s the big concern, his body breaking down that prevents him from running the bases, prevents him from turning on the 3-2 fastball that Livan threw him that he hit for a double in his first at-bat.
I wouldnt put too much stock in The Dipper’s first at-bat (just as I wouldnt put too much stock in that dribbler that Prado hit in his first at-bat). Let’s see how the stats look after 100 at-bats…after 200 at-bats.
Yep

It is great that baseball has finally returned to Atlanta. However is this team going to wind up like last year? Or like the Falcons last year? Or like all the other sport teams do here in this fair city? Always non-winners. At least Marta will get you to the games after they cut service for those local residents who supported Marta over the years. Play ball or try act like you are.
