[JayBruceFan]

Dragons lose 9-3

[Spazzrico]

Is it me or are the Dragons eye-poppingly bad this year? What is their record? Is it simply a lack of talent at the moment?

Is it me or are the Dragons eye-poppingly bad this year? What is their record? Is it simply a lack of talent at the moment?

They are 2-13. They aren't as bad as their record indicates, but they are a bad team. They don't have two legit hitters on the team right now and the pitching has been inconsistent for the most part.

[JayBruceFan]

I think they will do a little better once it heats up but I don't see them doing much this season unless they get some help for the second half of the season

(Draft Picks, JC Sulbaran, Lotzkar, players from EXST))

[dougdirt]

Worth noting - Zach Cozart was ejected in the 3rd inning.... while playing in the field. Wonder what happened there?

[GOYA]

LeCure gives up his first walk and Viola is now warming.

[zipcurve]

Viola replaces Lecure after Lecure issues 2nd walk of the inning

[GOYA]

Worth noting - Zach Cozart was ejected in the 3rd inning.... while playing in the field. Wonder what happened there?

I still never heard what got Barker thrown out taking the field in the first inning the other night.

[GOYA]

Valaika lines a single. It looks like he's starting to see the ball pretty well.

Rosales doubles Valaika to third. Nobody out for Barker.

They are walking Barker to face Bankston.

[GOYA]

Bankston with a 2 run single.

Gomes walks and they're loaded for Dorn.

[Kc61]

Looks like Lecure had a good outing today. One of my sleepers for this year, has developed nicely in the minor leagues.

[GOYA]

DP by Dorn and a popup by Castillo ends the threat.

[GOYA]

Manuel breezes through the 9th and the Bats win 6-0.

[HokieRed]

Bankston now at .349/ .404/ .698/ 1.102. 4 HR's, 14 RBI's in 43 AB's. Starting to look like the right-handed half of a left field platoon (maybe with Edmonds).
