So you are saying Sisco has the arm strength to get a ball into center field?

Sweet!

Only on several hops.

15 to 11 right now, going into the bottom of the 6th in Louisville.

That sounds like a mediocre Cardinals college football team struggling with Division I-AA Old Dominion University from Norfolk, VA.

Two homers, a double, three runs scored and 7 RBI.   Not a bad week.

The law firm of Mountcastle, Sisco and Stewart certainly has been fun to watch of late.    They usually bat consecutively and here’s what they’ve done in May:

Mountcastle: .363/.393/.538, 2 HR 14 RBI

Sisco: .339/.455/.677, 6 HR, 18 RBI

Stewart: .458/.521/.932, 5 HR, 25 RBI.

That’s insane.

When you don't promote folks when they are ready for promotion these things are more likely to happen.

 

Has to be rough for opposing teams.

I’m happy to see these guys making it tough for the O’s to keep them down, rather than being handed opportunities by default.  

As to the opposing teams, they don’t have much to worry about in the other six spots in the lineup.  But with these three carrying the load, the Tides are averaging a “tide-y” 5.60 runs a game (see what I did there?).    Unfortunately the pitchers are yielding 5.64 runs/game.    Very un-Norfolkish numbers this year, even adjusting for the new baseballs.    It’s rare to see the Tides in the top half of the league offensively considering their home ballpark.    

PS - each of the “big 3” have much better numbers in Harbor Park than on the road.    I wonder if something has changed down there.

Watching the Tides in Colombus for a 4 game series in June.  Pretty excited to watch “the big 3”.  Unless of course they are needed in Bmore.
