Saw Outman at Sugarland. His defense was good, as usual. He did hit a rocket for a home run to straight away center. A note on James, I hope he reads this blog. Push some bunts up the third base side of the infield against righties. You are fast enough to beat some out. The pitcher falls off to the first base side of the mound. The third baseman or shortstop has to field. The other side of the coin? The third baseman has to move in a couple steps. That could also bring a base hit here and there.
