Saw Binghamton lose to Hartford 5-2
Dunkin Donuts Stadium is new, a few years old. Parking is close and access from the major highway (Rt 84) is easy. The staff is friendly and helpful. It holds 6,500 people, and is filled most nights.
Some observations:
Catcher Patrick Mazieka looks good. He had two of their 4 hits. He pulled his HR to right and went with the pitch to single to left.
Shortstop Andres Gimenez made three plays that would make the year-end highlight reel for any major league club. A lefty hitter, he got a hit off a 94 MPH fastball from a lefty reliever who had just struck out the previous two batters.
Pitcher Tony Dibrell is just up from A ball, and entered the game with an 8+ ERA. He tired in the fifth after looking good for 4. Strangely, he was throwing 89 at the beginning of the game, but after he gave up three runs, he pumped it up to 94.
Great ballpark, great food (today's specialty was bacon covered munchkins, which would have made my cardiologist cringe and lobster bisque). Great giveaways (a really a top quality hat). Great fun.
Only one negative thing, the giveaway program has names and pictures of the players, but no numbers. And their unis don't have the names on the back. Very frustrating.
