Hitting was still sparse until the 17th, as the BCs had only 9 hits the first 16 innings. But the team average jumped to .136 thanks to their 4 hit 17th inning, and maybe the Mendoza line is not too far off.<br /><br />23rd round pick this year, and quick signer 2B Nick Sergakis, is 6 for 14 after getting on base 5 times last night. Rest of the team is hitting .110. Hey, but they've scored 12 runs in going 1-3. Batavia in 4 games has scored just 4, while hitting .148. <br /><br />Teams as a whole in NY Penn League have played 56 games and hit just 15 homers; 6 teams have none. Wheaties have been ordered for all, which may help boost their homer totals.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-48206248351406862212016-06-20T21:22:30.546-04:002016-06-20T21:22:30.546-04:00How many ABs did our illustrious Skipper give him?...How many ABs did our illustrious Skipper give him?

Problem with the "we're in the same spot as last year" approach is another Cespedes type trade is not in the cards as we don't have the prospects and trading Wheeler would seem to be a desperate move and any team that would want him would want additional pieces. Anyone have a comment on the Metblog post about Brandon Drury? Very interested in TC's comments about making roster moves....we should know soon enough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-89130174210044303812016-06-20T11:49:58.706-04:002016-06-20T11:49:58.706-04:00Reese, LOL.

Well that's amazing, because you batted over .400 a... a whole bunch of times. Now tell us all, we'd all like to know, why do you think you'd only hit .290?<br /><br />Ty Cobb: Well, I'm 72 fucking years old you ignorant son of a bitch.<br /><br />I'm fairly confident that the Mets couldn't do any worse with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in the lineup today.

Hitting in a line up of a non-hitters seems a rough challenge.<br /><br />I would certainly hope he is healthy at this point - that was 3 months ago.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-2939475105265682092016-06-20T10:29:06.686-04:002016-06-20T10:29:06.686-04:00also.
