Nuttin' Like a 3-2 Breakin' Ball
The video starts with Plouffe’s grand slam over the left field fence, includes a few highlights (mostly of the Tides), and then shows the final score. Nice clip, courtesy of YouTube user Nuchler, who has some other clips of the Red Wings when they visited Norfolk yesterday, as well as other Norfolk Tides stuff.
What can I say about a guy with 14 steals in 15 tries, is 3rd on the team in walks, and leads the team with 31 runs scored? He’s even better than he sounds.
What I mean is, the Red Wings need to learn to draw…..walks. A much more indepth blog entry in a few days.
Not a whole lot of offense Saturday night in Durham. Here’s some video of the game, including some pitching & defense. You can get a good look at Anthony Swarzak, Juan Morillo, and some of the pitches our batters were trying to hit.
Back in ‘81, Cal Ripken Jr played for the Red Wings. Here he is at the old Silver Stadium, where home games were played before Frontier Field was built.
Plouffe’s hitting 2nd, Hughes has better defense than you think, and comeback wins. It’s been a very good homestand with a game left to go.
Take a look at how the Red Wings swung the bat on Friday night against the Knights pitchers. They seem to be in a groove lately, scoring a lot.
This weekend our Wings host the Charlotte Knights. What are the Knights weaknesses? How might our Red Wings exploit them? What might Rochester want to avoid doing?
Louisville’s pitching made our Wings look like class A players tonight, except these two at-bats by Pridie and Watkins in the 8th.
A clip of the top of the 4th inning, where Rochester pulls its 2nd double steal of the game, and then Winfree & Butera each drive a run in.
