I sure wish the Astros would have taken Lucroy or trade for him. I hate that he is in Brewers farm system.Quote:

Jonathan Lucroy was sitting at his locker inside the Appalachian Power Park clubhouse last week when one of his teammates came by to congratulate him on another impressive performance at the plate.
"Man," the teammate said, "you're killing the ball."
"Yeah," Lucroy responded matter-of-factly, "but we aren't winning."
A week later, Lucroy still is hitting and the West Virginia Power finally is winning.

Well, it was until Tuesday morning, when the Class A club's season-high, five-game winning streak ended with a 6-3 loss to the Lexington (Ky.) Legends.
"We lost today, but we have still won five of the last six," said Lucroy, whose peers named him the team captain before the season opener. "That's the way baseball goes. Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you lose.
"If we don't give up any runs in the first three innings today, we win this game. We aren't the best hitting team, and we aren't the best pitching team. We just need to be more consistent and put both of them together at the right time and we're going to win."
Lucroy is 16-for-41 (.390) in his last 10 games with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs. He has raised his batting average to .310 and his totals to eight home runs, 28 RBI and 33 runs.
Those numbers are among the reasons Lucroy will play for the Northern Division squad in the 49th annual South Atlantic League All-Star Game, which is scheduled for June 17 at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C.
"I really don't care how good I do because we still aren't the best team in the league right now," said Lucroy, a catcher and designated hitter who joins center fielder Lee Haydel, starting pitcher Amaury Rivas and third baseman Zelous Wheeler as West Virginia's four all-star selections.
"If we were, maybe it would be OK. I'm an All-Star, but it really isn't that big of a deal because we haven't done too well in the first half."
West Virginia pitchers couldn't retire center fielder Collin DeLome, who was 4-for-5 with two runs and four RBI. He was only a double away from the cycle.
"We elevated some pitches on him and made some mistakes to him," Power Manager Jeff Isom said. "When you make a mistake to him, he's going to hit. That's what happened today."
Delome delivered an RBI triple in the top of the first inning, then scored on an RBI double by left fielder Brian Pellegrini.

Interesting that Collin Delome is mentioned in the article. He's a Lamar alum.Quote:
