He knows how to center the ball and he can run. He is going to reach the majors as a sparkplug off the bench. Shane is a smart guy with a tough minded approach.

I just worry that they'll see that as a reason for keeping him. Best case scenario is Mather forces the issue by continuing to produce. In fact, both Stavinoha and Mather could take Dunc's spot if they continue to hit...

Tue, 13 May 2008 16:17:02 +0000 http://futureredbirds.wordpress.com/?p=1183#comment-16879 A couple of buddies and I took in the QC game at Peoria last night. Aside from the ridiculous first inning, in which Fick and Mike Folli combined to give the Chiefs eight outs, the Bandits outplayed the woeful Cubbie Juniors. Pham's leadoff HR was a line drive to left, probably about 330 feet. At least two of his K's were called. The home plate ump had a love affair with low and outside pitches (to RH batters), and at least one of Pham's called third strikes was nowhere close to being a real strike. The other two were iffy. Let's just say the ump must have had an early dinner date, because he punched out all sorts of batters on questionable low and outside pitches. Pham really looks like an athlete. Kozma DHed (unfortunately for us), but he certainly has a nice line-drive stroke. Kingrey also looks like a pretty good hitter, but the rest of the crew doesn't appear to have a surfeit of talent. My suspicion - that QC is the weakest of the Cards teams playing right now - was confirmed. A couple of buddies and I took in the QC game at Peoria last night.
