    11 balls of the 41 pitches too. threw 7 in the 1st inning, all strikes...had a 5 pitch 3rd inning. he is so different than most other pitchers at this level. He just doesnt care about K's. He knows he isnt a strikeout pitcher and doesn't try to be...very impressive mentality for a 19 year old! Most young pitchers at this level just want to throw 95 all the time and strike guys out even if they cant/shouldnt. Scott is not that way at all. And he has hit 1 batter in 136 innings....great control

    Malone is done for the year. He will leave Peoria in the AM to see the Cubs doctors tomorrow and then head to Mesa to start rehab/get ready for surgery if its needed. Tough loss for the team and obviously a tough situation for Ryne.

    Chiefs Rained Out. Thank God the bus hadnt left for the awful commute yet! Taylor & Atkins on Sunday. Noon double header.
  4. ChiefsVoice
    yes. in front of Eric. he has a single, walk and a steal. eric has a walk and a k.

    Nope. They shook everything up with the two off days getting the rotation set for the playoffs. Jimenez today Friday: Blackford Saturday: Taylor Sunday: Atkins Monday: Either Santo or Estrada Repeat. This sets Atkins up for game 1...Taylor for Game 2 beacuse of another off day coming up
  6. ChiefsVoice
    I'll nominate Mitch Atkins

    Any ideas when those rosters come out? Here are our players going to instructs: Jesse Estrada, Fabien Jimenez, Mark Reed, Yusuf Carter and Kyle Reynolds. Matt Avery was also on the original list but had already signed up for and paid for classes to finish up at UVA so I believe he is going back to school instead of instructs.

    No I don't. I just wanted to see what Nathan thought of the two based only on their play. my opinion 75% no baseball 25 % both sports. goes down if he is a 1st rounder. I cant see any NFL team letting him pitch for fun and miss all those play-learning chemistry building summer camps... and from my understanding the deal reported by ESPN et al never happened. he signed a straight milb deal and got 250K bonus. as for comparison, i obviously have a small sample on Jeff but he had primarily an above average fastball (93-95) a non-existant change and an average breaking ball. He didnt throw strikes early in the game and got hurt there. Taylor is the opposite. Fastball is average (89-91), Breaking ball and change up are very good. He just needs to learn how to PITCH. Needs to learn its ok to waste an 0-2 pitch, make them chase. He is a contact picher, not like Veal. He walks very very few and i believe he has hit 1 this year. Complete control pitcher. Good strong body (much like Gallagher on body type, strong legs). I really like watching Scott and Mitch Atkins pitch. Both are young ST = 19, MA = 20. I still say that Atkins is the top prospect pitcher we had this year although Veal might be better now, give the 1 year age difference and Veal's tendency to be a bit wild, Atkins is more consistent but not as flashy. I think all three have very high ceilings and would have all three behind Gallagher, but above any of the others at Peoria or Daytona...

    Veal being ahead of Gallagher is a minor quibble... But I would DEFINITELY have Scott Taylor above ND's wide receiver.

    Not the way it works. The league has tried this three years in a row with back to back off days to let teams get ready for the playoffs. NO teams make up games on mutual offdays. You either make them up as a DH when you play that team again or you lose the game. All teams will have two days off which is nice. I know we are using it to set the rotation up for the playoffs. The 2007 schedule does not include back to back off days in August. Instead they are back to back at the MLB All-Star game like they were in the MWL in 2002 and 2003.

    Wow, do you watch games? as for OBP being important, it is the single whole belief of the A's system to 9 OBP monsters...and exactly how many World Series' have they played in with that philosophy??? scoring runs matters, the other team not scoring runs matters more. OBP matters little.

    I couldn't have said that better myself Ron. I'm the same way..
  13. ChiefsVoice
    well since the last inning was 26 pitches he has 70 through 5....the watched pop up would have ended the inning and cost him another 13 pitches...so 7 at the most plus its a 7-1 game so a good chance to get some guys work who havent pitched much this week (mueller, avery, maybe evenson)
  14. ChiefsVoice
    Atkins tossing another gem tonight. 5ip, 4h, 1r, 2bb, career high 9k...two hits by Ron Garth (HR & 1b)...and one was a 15 footer popped about 200 feet in the air....reed and norwood stared at each other and it fell. has a 6 pitch inning and a 9 pitch inning (2 k in that inning) great curve tonight. making Wis hitters look foolish. and Norwood seems to have found his swing which we need desperately!
  15. ChiefsVoice
    Yep. Mark Reed in a delayed double steal...at Cedar Rapids on April 10th
  16. ChiefsVoice
    delayed double steal. norwood to 2nd, valdez came home on the throw...
  17. ChiefsVoice
    86 the fastest he ever threw in Peoria...was hit hard here too in a couple of outings.
  18. ChiefsVoice
    true, but all 3 of those guys are 23, not 20. and none of them were planned to start in the rotation at any point this year without injuries to others.
  19. ChiefsVoice
    no chance...they have too many guys who are rule V eligible that they have to call up or risk losing. They aren't going to start the clock on Sean when he is 20 and hasn't pitched in AAA at all.
  20. ChiefsVoice
    does Wood count if they sign him to smaller deal?
  21. ChiefsVoice
    Campy was 91-94 here with the fastball....i think he maybe hit 95 a couple of times....
  22. ChiefsVoice
    you threw waaaaay to many pitches in the 1st inning (36)...going full on 4 batters...you walked 2 but escaped with the bases left loaded and you lead 1-0 after 1. and i really hate the money ball philosophy...these guys take Forever between pitches when hitting and pitching....put it in perspective...Kane County has played 30 9 inning games this year of 3 hours more...The Chiefs have played 4...and 3 of those at Kane County and none of those at home!! what chapter was that in? no clue, i didnt read that crap. The whole organization (at this level over the last 3 years anyway) just takes pitches after pitches steps out to spit and grab, steps off the mound to spit and readjust over and over and over again...no one else does it...

    Santo is pitching (and not well) . He is now 16 which is the number Dylan wore. Apparently MILB isnt smart enought to figure out that when a guy goes on the DL you might actually give his number to another player!!!
  25. ChiefsVoice
    Yes of course. I meant as a "Cub"
