I don't get all goosebumpy when players run in and dive for a catch, but the play he made while running backwards was spectacular! Yeah, both of those catches by Brent were fantastic.

Hopefully, he was just throwing fastballs, b/c his outing was not impressive... While none of us have seen the AB's, I'd agree that perhaps Inge has a new approach at the plate...I'd be - and would always have been - thrilled with Brandon if he was more concerned with getting on base - and advancing runners - from the 9-hole, than in trying to hit HR's all the time. Hopefully, he's received the message and will honestly work on "handling the bat" this year. Sounded like a great crowd in Lakeland...over 9000 for a matchup that will likely be as close as todays' score this season...
