They may have had a large announced crowd, but it wasn't even close to being full. I was 11 rows behind home plate, and I counted at least a dozen seats wide open in the row in front of us, along with 6 seats open in our row. The Dragons' Lair was sparsely populated too. I don't understand why those season ticket holders behind home plate don't find someone to use their tickets.
Overall, pretty pathetic day for the Dragons. Gressick was horrible in the 1st inning, but buckled down after that. Kainer had a nice double, Parker or Turner had a double, can't remember which one, and Stubbs had a bunt single.
I went to last night's game and asked about getting just one ticket to today's game, was told it was all sold out and to check back right before game time today. Well, I live 45 miles away so I kept checking ticketmaster - no luck. I did get a ticket for July 4th, tho...

Strait's HR was a grand slam.
BTW, Dayton held a Jay Bruce bobblehead night on Thursday or Friday. I just bidded on one on EBAY but someone swooped in in the final seconds and got it. It was pretty sweet looking.

Rafael Sanchez also went 2-for-4 with a double and single in that game. He's off to a fast start. Nefi Soto continues to destroy the ball...he's now 9-for-18 in four games with three doubles and zero walks or strikeouts. It was said in his scouting report that he has good plate discipline.
Robbie Nickols is a guy I like. 6'5" lefty with plus velocity. I hope to see him promoted to Billings by the end of the year.
Votto walks on a 3-2 pitch.
