Error on Cisco on a tough play. He looked good getting to it but had trouble getting the ball out of his glove. This one might be reconsidered.
Cisco with a run scoring triple. On a 1-2 pitch.
Cisco with a standup triple to left center
A ball up and over the plate
McD scores from 1st after he walked
8-3 Tribe
Heisey Ks
He is really lost right now
One thing is for sure, if pitchers think they want to challenge Cisco, they are making a HUGE mistake.
8-3 loss for the Bats

Billings down 3-0 after 1.
I turned the broadcast on for a bit. I cracked up when I heard the Casper team is called the Ghosts.

Dayton scored 4 in the bottom of the ninth to win 5-4. Game-winning hit was a 2-run double by Humberto Sosa.
Billings lost both games of a double header. 3-2 and 3-1. Yorman went a combined 0-7.
Cisco = Vlad? I mean, with his low walk rate and swinging (and hitting) everything that isn't directly under his hands.
Just seems like a fair comparison (obviously Vlad was a stud in the majors and Cisco is still just a kid...but you know what I mean).
I would lean more towards Sandoval than Vlad. In fact I just read a really good article in SI on the Giants third baseman and his hitting approach. He basically stated that he likes to swing at everything because he feels he can hit everything. Comes from when he was little growing up poor and playing ball they often had to improvise and use other objects as the baseball and a stick as the bat. He learned he could hit whatever his brother threw at him and hit it well. He's tried to be patient at the plate but his hitting zone is so big and he feels he can hit anything.
Could be why some Latin ballplayers are free swingers.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Carlos Lee is what Juan will be if he can figure out how to take more balls or strike out less.
