A Lot To Be Desired
Top of the rotation starter Derrick Loop makes his second appearance of the season tonight and seemingly couldn't be happier it's coming against Long Beach, which, as mentioned earlier, has several of the league's most respectable names dotted on its roster.
"I'm so excited to face these guys, it's the type of lineup that will challenge you as a pitcher," said Loop, who was also hoping for a matchup against Jerome Williams or Nick Bierbrodt — two members of the Armada rotation who spent several years in the major leagues. "I really hope it's one of them. It's something I've thought about a little bit. Again, it's just an opportunity you want when you take the mound."
