I watched the Flying Tigers lose to the Brevard County Manatees 3-7 last Monday, 04-09-2018.
Daz Cameron looked very good in right field. He made a heck of a play in right last Monday night, running down a ball in deep right center that I didn't think he had a chance to catch up with. It was Willie Mays stuff. He swung that bat well too, hitting the ball hard twice his first two at bats. He was wrung up on a bad pitch in his third. Anthony Pereira looked good with the bat going 3 for 3. Gibby made a bad error in left but he also had a memorable at bat where he battled at the plate to earn a walk where he was behind in the count. de Block started and I thought he had pretty good stuff but he is not overpowering but he kept the ball down. The one HR he gave up, he had already struck the guy out and but somehow, he fooled the umpire, so consequently, on his 4th strike the ball was hit out of the park.
The Tigers had made a significant renovation to Joker Marchant and it swallowed up the tiny Monday night crowd. I was kind of upset that Isaac Paredes was not in the line-up. My daughter sarcastically said "How could they disappoint this crowd?" There couldn't of been more than 300 in attendance. One of the highlights of the evening was the group of ATC's in attendance that sat behind us. They did the musical chairs game and there was a 300 lb guy that was boxing his fellow ATC out each time the music stopped. In the finals he boxed out this little guy and crushed broke the chair.
