Time for some preseason fake rally.

[BCVM22]

1 out, Fuld and Hoffpauir aboard, Kroger up.

 

Did I call the fake rally or what?

[Friendly Confines]

bring up aram to end this sucker with one swing

 

And blow out his shoulder for the season? [-X

 

It'll be worth it.

[BCVM22]

Kroger K's swinging, 2 outs. (someone) singles, Theriot up.

 

"Big chunk of the fans now gone from HoHoKam Park."

"Typical Cub fans, right? Seen what they want to see and then they leave."

 

This crap from Brewers announcers, no less.

Hey folks was at todays game and although Seans line wasn't that great I was really impressed with his outing. Wasn't a hanging "Slider" but a "hanging" curve and Sean was ahead of all the hitters. His velocity was Mid 90's and since losing the weight he has much better balance. I was little perplexed with his 1st inning of work as he threw the 1st five hitters a steady diet of FB's. Once he started to mix in the offspeed pitches he was much more effective and threw a nice CB to Weeks to K him. It actually looked like he had Cameron fooled but left the CB up there and give Cameron credit he was able to adjust. His SL was working great and although I would say Sean might be a little disappointed with his outing. I would think just the opposite and that he made two bad pitches and learn from your mistakes and move on......

Dempster a 3 starter? Piniella you need serious therapy. ](*,)

 

Good job Soto and Kosuke.

I was definitely rooting for him to fall apart today.

Thanks for the info. The big boys don't let you get away with throwing just fastballs unless they are 100 + movement. I agree, learn from what he did ....right and wrong and grow from it. Those who don't learn and adapt have a hard time making the Big Team.

 

Good luck next time out and we'll be rooting for Sean if it's in Arizona or Florida! :good:
