  1. The Official Hotel of the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx The DoubleTree is nice in that it is within a mile of I-40 and a short drive up the Interstate to Pringles Park in addition to being a great place to stay. I sent you a PM about additional info as well.
  2. Excellent! I had a feeling it was about to happen but thought it would happen after the All-Star Game. Be sure to let me know when you're going to be in West Tennessee! Congratulations Sean!
  3. Here are a couple of articles on Randy Wells. Both are great reads: Wrigley calling? Wells is making a case this season (Bob Heist, Jackson Sun) Jaxx Notes: Wells Dissatisfied (Steve Holley, Inside the Ivy) In addition, don't forget to take a look at the 2006 Jaxx Journal with Randy Wells for a unique look at the life of a professional baseball player! Go Randy!
  4. Very deserved: .765 Avg (13-17), .789 OBP, 1.176 SLG Randy Wells didn't get SL Pitcher of the Week, but he had to have been considered. Let's compare the line from Wells to Joel Hanrahan, who did receive the award: Hanrahan: 2-0, 13 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 8 BB, 13 K's Wells: 2-0, 13 IP, 8 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 11 K's
  5. The Jaxx remain 2 GB with 6 games remaining. Maybe Ron should bet his hair. :lol:
  6. Too much paintball over the weekend! :lol:
  7. With a RISP, Wells gets a DP to get out of the 2nd
  8. No runs, no hits, 1 LOB (HBP) for Wells in the first
  9. NSBB Correspondent Randy Wells is on the hill today for the Jaxx. He enters the game with a 1.12 ERA in 9 GS with a .89 WHIP. It's my understanding that he has family in Jackson to watch him pitch. Go Randy!
  10. The Jaxx don't get any help from Mississippi. The Jaxx remain 2 GB with 7 to play.
  11. I can't wait to see Sean in a Jaxx uniform
  12. That sucks! Was the 3B sliding back to the back to try and nail him or what? I'm glad to here that he bounced back quickly though, lets go get a dope slap! Not really sure. All I know is that the Jaxx had the tying run on second with 2 outs in the 9th. Brian was picked off at third to end the game.
  13. Brandon Sing goes yard! Jaxx up 4-1!
  14. When Dope was picked off at third yesterday, he was inadvertantly spiked. Apparently it was bad to the point that he had to go to the hospital. Brian is in the lineup tonight.
  15. Jaxx up 2-1 after an RBI 2B from EPatt!
  16. Barons take a 1-0 lead to the bottom of the 4th.
  17. This was asked in a recent thread and I figured I would post the question and response from Randy here: "So, what is the scouting report on Wells, anyway? What's his second pitch, slider or curve? I'm think slider, but I'm not so sure... How fast is he? Is he still your standard 88-93 guy? He was something of a flyball guy last year; still true? For having his own diary thing and whatnot, and despite how good has stats have been, I've gotten very little scouting info on him. I was pretty interested in him back at Peoria (or was it Lansing?) two years ago. I recall two game reports, one said he was mostly 88-90 for velocity and didn't show anything very attention-getting; the other said he threw some 90-92. I seem to have some idea from Daytona getting a report of 89-93 for velocity, but other than a couple of references to what nice mechanics he had and how aggressive he was, I didn't get much else." I usually sit at 88 to 92, somewhere in that range. I throw a slider and a changeup. My changeup is my second-best pitch. I use it a lot more than the slider. I use the slider in fastball counts along with the changeup, the slider to put away righties and backdoor to lefties. I use my changeup any time and in any count when things are going good.
