Tough stuff in the DR of late: old friend Alexander Canario took a tumble trying to avoid a tag at 1B and broke his ankle as well as separating his shoulder. He's done for the season and heading to Chicago for medical evaluation.
And to Roger's point in an earlier comment, if anyone needs evidence that LIDOM is a wildly competitive league take a look at the Toros del Este squad who after a 3-10 start to the season fired their manager Pat Listach and replaced him with (old friend alert?) Héctor Borg as interim manager.
So old pals Alen Hanson and Fernando Abad have a new skipper.
Thanks for this eye-opening writeup. I am guilty of ignoring his success this season after forming my opinion of him based on his struggles in High A the year before. His stance pre-pitch is interesting. There seems to be so much tension in it it looks like he would get fatigued quicker than some. Of course that is usually irrelevant for a relief pitcher.
Thank you Roger for another interesting piece. I really hope that the Giants give the likes of Avila a chance in the bullpen next year ahead
