Romo Phone Home: Duffy

In the spring of 1983, Pirates reliever Enrique Romo failed to report to camp. Attempts by the team to locate the enigmatic righty failed, and he was released. Similarly, for 20+ years, Pirates fans were unable to locate their once-proud franchise. This blog, last seen in September 2006, was the record of one father and son who nurtured the hope that one day Romo and the Pirates would phone home. That day arrived seven years hence, and now we are back. Enrique, we salute you, wherever you are.

Duffy

I think it would be a good idea for someone to work with Chris Duffy and try to improve his approach at the plate--take more pitches, try to get more walks, hit the ball on the ground to take advantage of that speed--that kind of thing.

Oh wait...

Anonymous said...: I think the coaching staff took a little too much of the blame concerning Duffy.
Duffy had played less than 100 games in the big leagues and people were treating him as if he was the second coming of Mickey Mantle. (and everyone knows Chad Hermanson was); 9:24 AM
