That home run was wicked close to foul but yes it was a Hell of a hit. I do hope Maxwell gets his full time shot next year.</p> I was at the Friday chiefs/Durham game as well sitting on the left field line.

  • Desmond again booted a potential double play ball by taking his eye off the ball. However, I’ll agree with Brian- let’s see what he can do at the MLB level.

  • Zegovia is pitching very well. Great velocity. Zinicola as well. Novoa’s breaking stuff was tough.

  • Maxwell’s HR to win the game was a bomb over the Bull in LF. The fans nearly rioted as they and the DUR Mgr (who was ejected) thought it was foul. He looks like a major leaguer (size, speed). Can he stay healthy and hit MLB pitching?

  • Morse is a hitter with a lot of power and a good athlete. He was probably the most impressive position player.

  • Casto looks like he’s playing out the string. No impact player.
