[Hairyducked Idiot]

Our pitching depresses me a little every single day, it seems. At least Concepcion has been shelved awhile.

 

Vitters with an E already, poor throw in the first pulled 1b off the bag.

[17 Seconds]

baez triple

[Rizzo Smash]

baez triple

10 game hitting streak for Baez

Yeah, the pitching is awful from an upside perspective until our draft picks get going. I'm finding myself hoping Taylor Scott can break out and give us at least one guy outside our draft to put some hope into. If not, Rosario is pretty much all we've got. Wells and Maples being hurt haven't helped this front at all obviously either.

[Guest]

Rhee finally getting some strikeouts - 6 K in 5 IP.

[Keyris]

Baez stole second,then got picked off. :(

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm going to go ahead and mark Randy Wells down as a non-tender.

Apparently Hayden Simpson is now hitting 92:

 

Idaho Statesman[/url]"]His fastball is topping out at 92 mph, an increase of three mph from last year, helping the bite on his slider and sinker and keeping batters off balance with his changeup.

 

Three mph is a huge difference in velocity, Hawks pitching coach David Rosario said.

 

“We’re looking forward to seeing maybe two more (mph) into next year, and if that happens, then things are going to start changing,” Rosario said.

 

“Anything up to 90 is hittable. Anything mid 90s is really tough to hit.”

Man, look how much bigger Soler is than Almora: http://billmitchell.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/AZL-Cubs-2012/G0000DyZFTZbJ82g/I0000_nS0HkolUy0/C0000cCXdjc.UyUQ

I think Hoyer said we'd be surprised at HOW big Soler is. Projecting him out, he's going to be a monster physically.

[Keyris]

Baez bomb!!!!

[davell]

Javy is the man.

[Keyris]

I will. I'll be seeing the game on Monday,too.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm going to go ahead and mark Randy Wells down as a non-tender.

 

Maybe him and Vostad can anchor the 2013 Newark Bears rotation.

[davell]

Torreyes is 3-4 tonight. Really glad to see him hitting.
