I was at the Durham-Cuse game
It was a lot of fun, I’d never been to an AAA game before. Bulls looked really good except Nando, who was downright pitiful at the plate despite the terrible pitching for Syracuse now that Strasburg left. Hell, they had their freshly called-up catcher pitch the 9th inning. DJ, Dan Johnson, Furmaniak, Chavez, Lobaton all looked great, Joyce basically sat at the plate not doing much (did have a deep fly, but also a popper). Also, was funny to see the Bulls bench messing with some drunk Syracuse fan by throwing a baseball tied to a string on top of the dugout..dude nearly dove over the top for it.
