The Bats lineup is starting to looking a little more human on paper without Sappelt, Frazier, Alonso and Cozart.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Phipps 2 Run HR to give the Bats the lead in the 1st! Right now I don't think it makes any difference who is on the mounds, he is just hitting EVERYTHING. His chances of a sept call up improve every day...

Billings is scoreless after three with McMyne pitching.
. . . Buckley's 11th HR has now put Billings up 1-0.
