Springfield and Palm Beach were rained out.

Brandon Buckman went 2 for 3 with a double. Christian Reyes went 2 for 3 with a homer. Wilmer Alvarado was 2 for 3. Thomas Pham went 1 for 3 with a walk. Box Log

Sorry! I guess I Quad Cities game so much that I linked to it twice. I've corrected the original post or Fat Strat has the correct links above.

That was a trick from NP. He was checking if anyone is clicking the link. He is a smart a$$

I'm watching the game right now.

1) Ankiel is fun to watch. He crushed a ball (foul, then struck out in his first AB). He's gotten a couple of nice jumps on balls in the gaps. The second he tracked down in left field, fired a strike (I only know it was a strike because you could hear a fan say something about, "he can't throw a strike from the mound but ..") and almost nailed the unsuspecting runner jogging back to first. The announcers then made "crafty lefthander" jokes. Hilarity ensued all over the park apparently.

2) Reyes is throwing fastballs at batter's hands and hitting his spots low and away with the four-seam and change. I dunno what I'm watching here but it seems like a bit of a different guy. Maybe it's just some weird illusion, wishcasting or difference in the level of competition. I wish their was a gun or the video wasn't so grainy, or both, or it wouldn't be so hard to tell what he's throwing. So who knows really.
