[ctcf]

Will TODAY be the day Concepcion achieves more strikeouts than walks? That would be more momentous than the Supreme Court ruling.

Hilarious.

Vitters named an All Star for the PCL

[Little Slide Rooter]

How on earth did Rizzo not make it? Can't guys be named to the team even if they've already been called up?

[Magnetic Curses]

Vitters named an All Star for the PCL

 

you mean that every third-baseman in the pcl isn't hitting as well as Vitters? i doubt it.

Well, a Cub had to make it.

Heesch pitched last night and worked a scoreless 9th with 2 K's was that in Arizona or was I dreaming?

*edit* NM that was Arizona

[davell]

Szczur walked, stole second, stole third, and scored in his first plate appearance.

[TruffleShuffle]

mcnutt threw batting practice in the top of the first and was removed after getting two outs.

[davell]

Alcantara with a 3 run shot. WTF with McNutt? 2 outs, sandwiched around 6 hits, a walk and a HBP. 8 runs, 4 earned. I wonder if he's legitimately in our top 15 by seasons end?

Alcantara with a 3 run shot. WTF with McNutt? 2 outs, sandwiched around 6 hits, a walk and a HBP. 8 runs, 4 earned. I wonder if he's legitimately in our top 15 by seasons end?

He's on the verge of not even being considered a prospect anymore, imo.

That's silly, he can still fall back to the bullpen and be a legit prospect a la Alberto Cabrera. He isn't a top 15 prospect for me right now, though.

I worded that wrong, I'm starting to not consider him an impact prospect anymore. He certainly could turn into a solid 7/8th inning guy, but guys like that aren't usually top 10 or even 15 in a system.

Concepcion has given up two hits and a walk, no outs yet.

That's fair.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He's wild again. I'm wondering where all that supposed polish is. Radio guys describing plenty of off-speed stuff. Hoping he's just out of whack in his first year in the USA and will do better once he gets his feet under him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vitters gets caught at the warning track in dead center, about 395 feet from home plate.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Four runs in against Concepcion, still in the first.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Baez doubles to right-center on a hard line drive, was thinking triple the whole way, had to scramble to put on the brakes and get back to 2nd to avoid being thrown out.
