Chris Suero Dramatics
Syracuse was no hit yesterday!
Polanco 0-2, 2 walks.
Alvarez 0-3.
Wenninger one earned run, 3 runs overall, BUT 40 of 83 pitches were balls.
One DSL team lost 11-10. Manrique and Sanchez combined are hitting .500 in the very early going.
Other DSL team: won 6-0. Yorber Semprun is 6-12 so far. Maxgregori Harvey went 2 perfect innings, fanning 5.
St Lucie lost 5-4.
Binghamton won 5-4.
Reimer homered and Suero hit a walk off 3 run shot in the 10th.
FCL Mets won 11-4 on 6 hits, 10 walks, and 7 steals. BOHAN ADDERLEY HAD 3 STEALS AND VLADI GOMEZ 3 MORE. THE TWO COMBINED HAVE 36 IN 23 GAMES.
VLADI has 78 of 87 steals and 101 walks and 16 HBPs in 157 pro games. I am impressed.
He is, however, extremely error prone in his career to date in the infield, but good in the outfield.
Brooklyn continues to not hit. But of late, they are scoring and winning a lot. 6-4 winners, on just 4 hits. Houck and Collins homered. 13 more Ks.
All the 7 teams combined for 42 runs on just 40 hits.

Winning in the minors is not everything. Learning to produce more base hits is.
Just 23 hits by the 5 stateside teams.
The lack of hitting is alarming.
The DSL teams are doing well so far. Does it appear the Mets may have sent their best offense to the Orange team?
D J, send the Orange Men to Brooklyn. Send the Brooklyn hitters to the Domican. Would those Brooklynites be the best hitting DSL team? Probably but who knows?
There is very little evidence that great hitting in DSL projects to great hitting at higher levels in the organization. Players have to play through this league and then work their way up. Along the way there are many that will fail.
So few, so true. It is like climbing Mt Everest from the base camp. Bring oxygen, boys
