If you can't see Britton's talent, you aren't looking very hard. What I mean by that is -- you've got to watch him outside of the actual game to get a feel for it.

Can mash in BP(actually hits with a little power to all fields), has tremendous range out there, and a ridiculous arm.

There's a difference between having tremendous talent and being a tremendous player that is able to translate it to actual games though. Evan Mitchell had tremendous "talent" and could dominate consistently -- until the bright lights turned on. My hopes of Britton figuring it out are wearing very thin now...

Even though he didn't make an error (Upgrade) and got 1 hit (Upgrade) I'm going to reserve judgment on the "it" factor.

That being said I didn't watch the game just listened and read twitter.


I think you've got to watch his actual mannerisms both at the plate and in the field to see what I'm talking about.

I do too outside of Armstrong in center...

Think Collins, like Humphreys, is going to hit eventually...

I like Robson over Armstrong. May be facing a lefty though.

Is CT hurt or just not playing because we are facing a lefty?

Little league mistakes are frustrating. Judging by the number of dropped balls and terrible throws, they need to spend less damn time growing beards and more time playing catch.

Turn routine double play = no run scored.

Pirtle drop ball at second = no outs, run scores.
