Nice game by Hendricks again yesterday. The best thing he can continue to do right now is pitch well where he's at so he'll be ready when needed.

Just got checked in here in Appleton. We left at 6:30 this morning. A few hundred miles and a couple pit stops later and we were at the Fox Cities field parking lot about 15 minutes before game time.

The wife and kids were with me so not only did I not make as many obsevations as I would have liked, but we ended up leaving after the 7th inning. Tomorrow I will be atteding the game by myself.

Very nice stadium the Timber Rattlers have. A good crowd too. I'm sure tomorrow being a weekday game won't bring as many people.

Obviously Sano is a star attraction. He did not do much. My suspicions were right about how he is being pitched, I would say about 75% breaking balls today. The 1st AB he went down 0-2, a couple waste pitches later and a curve in the dirt he had a full count. He swung at another curve that would've been ball 4 and struck out. The next time up he struck out on 3 pitches, a fastball and 2 curveballs. He ended up poping out and grounding out his next couple at bats.

The Snappers didn't have a lot of really hard hit balls today. The hardest hit was a foul by Adam Bryant. It had the distance but it hooked foul by about 10 feet or less. It was too bad they couldn't take advantage of that strong wind blowing out to left field.

Anyway, the Timber Rattlers won on a walkoff HR in extra innings. I heard that part on the radio in a Wallmart parking lot as I was waiting for my wife to get a couple cheap toothbrushes (It wouldn't be a vacation if we didn't forget a thing or 2).

Hopefully tomorrow's a good one for you, have fun

Fort Myers won 8-5.
Jairo Perez(.249) went 2-5 with a HR(4).

Beloit came up short again today but this was a much more exciting game. The wind was blowing out again. Out of the 4 total HR's that were hit, only one would have stayed in the park if not for the wind. The other 3 were bombs, including the grand slam by Sano and the solo shot by Goncalves.

More about the Sano shot, he fell behind 0-2 so I was not optimistic at that point. He took a curveball in the dirt and fastball high to even the count. Thats when the pitcher hung a breaking ball and Sano made him pay. As soon as the ball was hit, there was a gasp, like everyone was saying "oh no!" Meanwhile I stood up with my fist in the air saying "SEE YA!!!" The leftfielder took a couple courtisy steps toward the wall but then just watched it sail.

Unfortunately Sano could not come through later in the game. With the game tied in the 9th and 2 on, he hit into a 1-6-3 DP. The Timber Rattlers scored and won in the bottom of the inning.

Rochester lost 16-0.

Seth Stohs is reporting that Eddie Rosario has been put on the DL after getting struck in the face during BP. Apparently he was taking grounders when he got hit. Hopefully its not too serious.

Rosario has a facial fracture and will likely miss about 6 weeks :-(

Bad news for Anthony Slama. He took a comebacker off the leg last week. I wasn't sure how serious it was until tonight when LEN3 reported that he has a broken bone in his leg and he will miss 4-6 weeks.
