Of the several hundred photos I took over the last week, this one ranks as my favorite:
Cole Armstrong tags out Norfolk's Melvin Dorta.
It’s another way of saying that I’m completely caught up with photo galleries over the final four days of the trip. Direct links:
- Day 3: Birmingham vs. Carolina
- Day 4: Jake Peavy-mania
- Day 5: Daniel Hudson-mania
- Day 6: Charlotte vs. Norfolk
Also, I got a chance to process some Jordan Danks video. I had shot footage of both Danks and Dayan Viciedo, not knowing which player would be worth the immediate attention. Viciedo just happened to make my decision for me.
In fact, Danks has been in a tailspin in August, with just four hits over 42 at-bats and a double the lone extra-base hit. His problems could stem from the wrist injury he suffered in mid-June, as his batting average and slugging percentage have dropped precipitously since.
He’s sat the last two games after going 0-for-13 with three walks over the previous three games. At least the acquisition of Alex Rios makes this development a minor matter at this point.
