DH Japhet Amador - 3x5 GIDP
LHP Alex Sogard (W, 2-1) - 2.0IP 0H 0R 0BB 2SO
One of my readers submitted an eyewitness report of last night's game:
There were but two Astro farmhands involved in last night's game, but one, Alex Sogard, could not have done more in his two innings of work. Only one ball reached even the infield dirt as he made two sensational plays on screaming line drives back to the mound, pounced on a beautiful drag bunt and got his man at first, and struck out two more Rafters ... the first batter of the second inning did manage to put a ball in play to short, but it was easily gobbled up and he was thrown out at first. The two innings were remarkably fast for the AFL, and every bit as efficient as I described.
Japhet Amador batted fifth last night, and smoked three shots through the hole between short and third his first three times at the plate ... he looks relaxed, almost like a man among boys - which, considering his age he may be. He hasn't done well in the games I've seen with men on base - particularly with the sacks full. Last night he hit the ball hard, just as he had his first three times up, but to the right side and into an easy double play ... he popped out his final time at the plate. He does not look nearly as relaxed with runners on base as he appears with the sacks empty ... it is clear he will hit, perhaps with some power, but he's not very clutch at the moment.
