Just how far could this Devil Rays team go before dropping their first game? Apparently just till today. Nothing to worry about, this team has plenty left in their tank. Maybe the team used up a little too much energy last night to rally back from two down in the ninth and walk off with three runs.
Plenty of hits today for Vero Beach, that was not the problem. Runs were far and few in between. At times Matt Walker looked good, but the Cubs hitters just appeared to be on their A game today. Ryan Royster who is quickly becoming a fan favorite with his pure power struggled today at the plate, but there was one thing that stood out in his ab's. In all three strikeouts Ryan showed frustration. I like that in a player. Ryan understands that he is a better hitter than that and he has showcased that talent already in this early season...2 home runs and 5 rbi's through 4 games.
Tomorrow is the rubber match between the Cubs and Devil Rays which just so happens to be $1 night at the ball park. $1 hot dogs, sodas and beers...how awesome is that promotion?
The email box is open and I invite all listening in to send a quick email and say hello, let me know where you are listening from and I'll give you a shout out on the broadcast. draysvoice@yahoo.com and the instant messenger is available during the live call as well. I'll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.
Our first 7pm start at Holman Stadium is tomorrow night and the possibility of taking the first two series of the season looms. I really like the make-up of this ball club. Attendance appears to be up this season and with the quality product that is on the field everyone is starting to take notice.
About Me
- Kirk Agius
- I am originally from the great lake state of Michigan. I was born and raised in Trenton, Michigan which is about 25 minutes south of Detroit by highway. I grew up loving the Detroit Tigers and listening to the call on the radio by the lengendary voice of Ernie Harwell. As a matter of fact Ernie was my very first interview during my senior year in high school. I am married to the love of my life in which I met when I was just 15 years old. I have always wanted to be involved with sports broadcasating and have even dabbled in the acting field a little. My first time on a movie set was in a film titled Apt Pupil. Nothing major and in fact if you blink you might miss me. My short lived television commercial career was with Ford. I shot three different commercials for the Ford Focus when it first arrived on the scene in 2000. They even let me speak! My downtime is spent with my wife and our jack russell terrier, Brutus. We love the beach and who knows, maybe one day I will actually utilize the surfboard that is collecting dust in my garage.
