How About This!!

[CajunCharlie]

The missus and I decided to drive from Bay St Louis , MS over to NO to attend a Zephyr vs Colorado Springs game last evening. Turns out the starting catcher for Col Springs was Danny Ardoin, who played college ball at McNeese. Incidentallcy, I was impressed by his abilities as a catcner. He not only has a helluva arm, but is stroking the ball at a .300+ average. Anyway, in the ninth inning the Sky Sox (odd name) brought in a relief pitcher by the name of Scott Dohman. If my feeble memory serves me correct, he is an ex Ragin Cajun from a few years back, and was sent to the Sky Sox by the parent club, Col Rockies for reason(s) I cannot recall. He completely shut down the Zepphyrs with a lively fast ball, and change up. Kind of an oddity in professional baseball to have a Ragin Cajun pitcherbeing caught by a McNeese cowboy, I think!

Scott was with the Rockies earlier this year and was demoted to triple A after experiecing major control problems. Scott had a great year in relief last year 40 inn and 43 strikeouts, he will be back soon just needs to get his confidence back.

..... he will be back soon just needs to get his confidence back.

Confidence....he had plenty of that last night. I wish the "gun" had been on to check his velocity. He looked REAL GOOD, as did Ardoin. Speaking of Ardoin, I believe half of Ville Platte was at Zephyr Field. They were making a racket!!

Go to www.minorleaguebaseball.com and type in Dohmann name in the search square and it will list his minor and major stats so far this year and you will see the reason for the demotion.
