Can't figure out why Holliday tried to stretch that..
but nice hit nonetheless
He figured there would be a relay to the plate
But that was a poor calculation.

Has a hit and has not kicked any balls into left field. That’s a hell of a game for him.

Further minor league updates
Corey Brown is 3-3 with 2 doubles tonight. He’s now hitting .476 in AA. Oh, and Cardenas hit his first homerun, he’s hitting .333
Wow, that ball didn't look like it was hit very hard at all.
I suppose I was mistaken! Nice hitting, Kurt!
why can't we hit HR's anymore (minus Jack Cust)?
HR’s are up this year too.

I understand...
but that was one hit… how many hits does he have on the season… Crosby and Holliday were talking up this “new improved swing” and I don’t see it.. I congratulate him on the RBI triple and im happy because that is the difference of the game right now.. but I am not judging him on one hit im judging him on the whole season so far.
NICE!!!
