AFL Update: Nov. 11, 2018
Salt River’s losing streak extended to three as they dropped a second straight game to second-place Mesa, 7-2.
Four Nationals got into the game – two starters and two relievers:
- Carter Kieboom was the DH and went 1-for-5 while batting fifth
- Tres Barrera batted seventh but was 0-for-4 at the plate and 0-for-2 against Mesa’s base thieves
- Jordan Mills (pictured) allowed two of three inherited runners to score on a single and balk in the 5th and struck out three total over two innings
- Taylor Guilbeau worked around a one-out walk to pitch a scoreless inning in the 7th
The gap between the Rafters and the Solar Sox is down to 1½ with four games left to play. The two teams do not play each other this week.
Adam McInturff seems quite impressed with Mills and Guilbeau. But I think only the latter has a good chance to make the 40-man roster next week.
To use the Richard Burton accent from Where Eagles Dare ( a hole is a hole is a hole …). A loogie is a loogie is a loogie.
Luke. Patriarch of Potomac baseball pine just below the broadcast booth. How do you see the Roster mix potential for 2019?? Some brass pushes besides guys like Phil Caufeld? Armond in CF?? Big Tuna @ 20 years young ??
This time period between AFL and Winter Meetings in Vegas is like waiting in rush hour traffic on the 95!
Luke. Based on numbers and the possible better teaching time with Anderson in Hags vs XST: should we see Chisholm , Jesus Morales and Ro Sosa ( C/2b/1b) enjoying an April cup of coffee in Suns house ?
Who is Coca Yeh. Coach on Auburn roster, Luke ???
Not sure – looks like a lightweight, tho.
