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....

A CFL type score today in Portland...as

the Defs win 12-1 behind Madison Bumgarner's 6 innings of shut out baseball allowing just 2 hits and notching 10Ks. He improves to 3-0 with a 0.50 ERA. He also picked off a runner.
Plenty of hitting stars; so let's start with Dave Maroul who wasn't even in today's starting lineup. Maroul came into the game replacing an injured Brad Boyer (2 for 2 today, injured hamstring) in the DH spot. Maroul went 3 for 4 with a two run homer, his first this season, and a pair of RBI singles. Sharon Schoop, who has a quiet 10 game hitting streak, went 3 for 4 with three runs scored, a double and a RBI. Brock Bonnd went 2 for 4 with three runs scored, a double and two RBIs. Brett Pill went 2 for 4 with a RBI.
Old friend Justin Hedrick got knocked around by his old team giving up 5 runs, four of them earned.
FisherCats lose, so CT increases it's first place lead to 2.5 games over NH!

Perhaps Decker will see that Maroul and AR aren't such bad options. Maroul has legit pop and AR has 5 swipes in very, very limited action.

Anyone besides me remember Johnny Rodriguez of the Navigators (Yankees) days? Turns out he is still playing and in AAA for the Yanks now. He has been in the Big leagues in the past.
Mike Cervenak (one of the nicest baseball players i've EVER met) is still playing ball, I believe for the Phillies AAA squad. He made his MLB debut last year.

Sure--J-Rod was a big part of the
'02 championship and Mike was the first mayor of Norwich!
Maroul got to cut down on his Ks and AR is a handy guy to have
