Things are off and running after a weekend of full-affiliate action! Things we learned this weekend? Saturday night’s alright for hitting, but Sunday is not such a fun day. And sometimes when you have “season debut” nerves in your system, locating the strike zone can be a complex task — not helped any by rain and chill.
Saturday night saw a plethora of big performances at the plate. Multiple players put up four-hit nights and multiple players reached base five times (with only partial overlap between those groups!). We had a player finish a double shy of a cycle and another player who couldn’t do anything BUT double! It was a wild ride! Much of that booming turned to bust the next day, however, as the mini-series mostly went out without a bang.
Hopefully, you noticed that I snuck in a late Saturday supplemental to focus on (mostly) Opening Night. So if you’re looking for Friday night highlights, you need to click here:
For today, we’re looking strictly Saturday and Sunday for our action.
