Is there anything more exciting than "watching" a baseball game on mlb.com's Gameday? Anyways, here's some random musings I had while watching the Indy Indians game, the Pens game, and following the Bucs game:
- List of reasons Akinori Iwamura is my hero:
1. He's beastly at drawing walks
2. He's got a wicked awesome name (reminiscent of Benito Santiago on that front)
3. His favorite movie is the Sean Connery classic, The Rock
4. Drawing on number three, I can only assume that he'll take pleasure in gutting you...boy.
-I didn't like the moving of Milledge to the 3 slot, I just can't see him as a 3 batter, but you can't argue with results. Hopefully they keep up.
-If McCutchen is going to continue batting in the 2 slot, JR's going to have to start having him bunt with a runner on and less than 2 outs.
- Zach Duke put up good numbers, but just looking at his ball to strike ratio, I'm guessing he was having some command issues. Hopefully he starts finding the strike zone more often soon.
- Donnie Veal has some potentially electric stuff. A mid-90's fastball and a breaking ball that looks unhittable at times. It'll be interesting to watch how he develops and advances through the year.
- I'm confident the Pens will have no problems with the Senators
Speaking of the Senators (how do you like that segway, boom), I'm going to be in Altoona tomorrow to catch Rudy Owens take on Stephen Strasburg and the Harrisburg Senators. I just have to see for myself whether or not this man can really produce thunderbolts from his arm as I have heard.
Bucs go for their second straight series win tomorrow. Daniel McCutchen, lead us to victory.
