Billingsley Up from Las Vegas

[CaliforniaRaisin]

He'll be making his big league debut for the Dodgers today.

 

I know Tim is excited...

I know my dad is looking forward to this.

I wish I could watch the game, but either way I'm very excited for the kid's debut.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

He's looked impressive so far. His curve has looked awesome.

 

0-0 after 3.

 

Addendum: Matt Kemp is awesome too.

Got a ND after a rough 5th.

 

5 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3/2, 98 pitches.

 

Loved his slider and curve. The curve was a thing of beauty. He was steadily in the 90-92 range, which is a little lower in velocity than he normally is at (92-94).

 

Didn't like his delivery, kind of herky-jerky at release. Kid's going to be an ace for years to come if he stays healthy.

Just imagine if his mother didn't try to keep that bb gun away from him that one Christmas? He'd a shot his eye out and never have been the pitcher he is.

Actually, there are stories out there about how his parents freaked out about how much he was throwing at the young age of 13 and took over his workout and training regimen. So, his mom (and dad) might have saved him. :P

You'll shoot your arm out...you'll shoot your arm out!

 

You have to win those all important Little League games.
