Weather permitting, I'm planning to drive to Syracuse tonight to catch the Charlotte Knights in action. I'm planning to use most of my video attention on Brent Morel, since 1) I've never seen him play in person, and 2) I've already put together videos on Jordan Danks and Tyler Flowers.
(I'm not sure if I'll even see Flowers, since he's started two games in a row. But the good news is that Thursday night's game will be on local TV here, so if I miss anybody at Alliance Bank Stadium, I'll have backup.)
If anybody has any special requests, let me know and I'll try to accommodate them.
It's an early night for me, so enjoy the White Sox's first day over .500 since Opening Day.
