Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Welcome back Matt Palmer and Defs win

on Eugenio Velez's first HR of the season a three run homer in the to cap a Connecticut comeback tonight in NB. Connecticut was down 5-1 after one inning but used the long ball to get back in the game. John Bowker hit his 18th and 19th dingers and Randy Ruiz went deep for the second straight day.
Palmer is now spending part of his 5th season with the Navs/Defenders. He was a starter in Fresno this year going 10-8. No word who else went up or down or on the DL to make space on the roster. Billy Sadler gets his first Defender save.

Hondo is reporting in his post underneath that Dave McKae was promoted to Triple A.

Correct, he is listed on the roster. I never had him sign the shirt I bought (the yellow one) at auction. You snooze you lose I guess.

Not sure of the point of making a roster switch this late in the season. Especially when it boned me out of an autograph.

Velez had a slew slew dingers last year, glad he got one out this year. Curious as to the auctual dimensions on paper between the two CT stadiums.

Minicozzi sat for two straight games in SJ, Travis hit one out. Glad I got winter ball on my agenda because it is a bummer that the season is ending.

Velez had a slew (18?), pardon the typo.
