Donnie Veal finally got hit today as he gave up 3ER in 2.1IP. Not the typical dominating stuff we have seen as he also walked 3 batters, leaving the bases loaded in the 3rd for Garcia. Garcia did an excellent job though, and got the remaining 2 outs to pick up Veal and limit the damage.

With this loss, the Scorpions are basically eliminated from championship contention being 4 games back with 6 to play.

It was a rough day at the plate for Neal and Crawford as they both went 0-4. Neal was again at 1B today while Crawford was back at the hot corner 3B. I quickly asked Brandon why he has played almost every game there, when he has played SS his whole career perhaps the Giants are giving him a look? The answer was no, the coaches just keep playing him there. Doesn’t make any sense to me. Secondly, why does the AFL allow the Scorpions to carry 6 SS? To me it’s almost a waste of time. But that’s just my opinion.

It was overcast today, which means the color is kind of eh…but here are a couple shots.
