It was a great week of Cal League baseball but not such a great week for me to be posting here with any regularity. All kinds of craziness went on around here, money changed hands, mysteries went unsolved, innocence was lost….well, not anything that dramatic. I was just crazy-busy and only able to keep an eye on the goings-on in the high-octane hi-A league from a distance, with no time to post anything. Here are some observations as we head into the holiday weekend.

Visalia was looking to reel in the fast-starting Bakersfield Blaze in the North while Lancaster and High Desert, in the middle of six straight matchups, shifted from Adelanto to the confines of The Hangar, with the South division lead in the balance. The rest of the Cal League clubs were scrambling to catch up to these four.
