I’ve been up pretty close at the KB circus here in Des Moines this week. After watching Tuesday night and yesterday afternoon from the camera well adjacent to the I-Cub dugout while our hero played 3B, I am hoping to perch in the LF corner this afternoon since he is penciled in at that spot and hitting leadoff today. Impressions so far: He is so damn disciplined at the plate!
he hot corner; yesterday he swallowed an MLB popup off the bat of the game’s first hitter, fielded throws flawlessly to start a few rounds of the horn on Ks w/ no one on base, and recorded another PO on a PO of a baserunner adrift between 2nd and 3rd.
