When Durke is on he might have some of the nastiest stuff in the country, unfortunately he has not been able to consistently throw strikes. His command has been awful and when he gets down on himself it only goes south from there. We had been waiting for 2 seasons for Hayden to show the ability that we know he has and he just could not put it together. He had streaks where you could see how good he was and then he would just be unable to throw the ball over the plate.

Again, when he is on, watch out. I hope you guys het the Durke that everyone expected out of HS, but be ready for the ups and downs of Hayden Durke.

His Cape Cod line this summer with the Chatham Anglers: https://baseball.pointstreak.com/player....id=1553705

I guess the good news is that he only had one start, and it was an awful one at that. Again, this kid can be special, but he has not put it together as of yet. People on our board are completely split with him, many of them know the Durke family as they are from the Lafayette area and others said good riddance, apparently their may have been other factors, just rumors about his dad at the games and some of the things that were said. I never personally heard or saw his dad at games, so I can not comment on it. What I do know in my many years of watching baseball, is this kids stuff is special, but his maturity and command are issues.

Good luck, I always enjoy playing you guys and hope we can continue our baseball matchups. We are getting the better of you right now, but you guys have such a rich history, I would assume you will get back to where you once were.

Also good luck on the football season, just not this weekend.
