  1. 7 K's in two games. I'm guessing he gets a day off tomorrow.
  2. You don't see a 42 MPH difference in pitch speeds on back to back pitches very often.
  3. Most of them were gone by the 7th inning.
  4. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/yanks_rip_stubhub_for_not_great_pMzrFDWAOsmwiTkHjYgiaP?utm_medium=rss&utm_content=Business I've been to 5 games so far this year, and I've used StubHub 5 times. I haven't paid more than $10 for a ticket.
  5. Calipari trolling IU. http://www.indystar.com/article/20120605/SPORTS0601/206050373/Kentucky-s-Calipari-tells-Crean-move-?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|IndyStar.com
  6. Cubs fans were out in force tonight. Fun to attend a win at Miller Park.
  7. me too and that piece of [expletive] has a ring
  8. Pitching, pitching, pitching. Hre's your HS pitching Extreme Longshot- Zach Eflin Longshots- Matt Smoral, Lucas Sims, Walker Weickel, Hunter Virant Picked during our vicinity- Nick Travieso, Shane Watson, Ty Buttrey, Mitch Brown, Walker Buehler, Paul Blackburn, Kyle Twomey, Edwin Diaz Others worth looking at- Chase DeJong, Duane Underwood, Mitch Gueller, Tyler Pike, Kieran Lovegrove, Cody Poteet College Extreme Longshots-Brian Johnson Longshots- Pierce Johnson, Alex Wood Picked in our vicinity- Chris Beck, Pat Light, Brandon Kline Others worth looking at- Sam Selman, Brett Mooneyham, Martin Agosta, Buck Farmer Didn't include relief pitchers or differentiate between RHP and LHP. But this is basically the group of guys I'm looking at. Left out a couple of soft tossing guys as well, just looked at BA's list real quick and jotted down guys I remember liking something about anyway. Buck Farmer? Walker Buehler? There are some fantastic names in this draft.
  9. Hard hit ball by Cardenas is nice to see.
  10. Had to hit the can, what happened? Castro stepped on second and didn't compelte the DP or something?
  11. Shark throws 4 strikes in a row to get a 2-2 count and then walks Posey. [expletive] you ump.
  12. For whatever reason he doesn't want to challenge hitters today.
  13. It's exactly what we just did to them. Heh.
  14. Nice to get an early lead for once. I just hope that wasn't all of our offense for the day.
  15. DFAd relievers aren't going to be longterm pieces. When you "hit" on one of them it's for the short-term. I certainly don't care enough to look that type of thing up, but this Asencio guy, for instance, hasput up excellent numbers in AAA, isn't very old, and has years of control left. Not saying he'll pan out, but it's conceivable he could become a legit bullpen piece for 3-4 years. Yeah, relievers of all people are wildcards. Look at Axford's path to the Brewers, or any one of dozens of other relievers.
  16. Apparently Illinois is after Nic Moore, might that have something to do with Jalen James' situation? Purdue, Notre Dame, and SMU after him as well.
  17. Yep i'm thinking groce told him thanks but no thanks. it's becoming clearer and clearer that he's not a high-major player at the division 1 level. Not a high major player? Rivals (I know you hate them) has him in their newest Top 100 and the other services have him as a three star. you'll see why. i was a little surprised that he was playing behind bobo drummond, but then i actually saw him play. it wasn't pretty, he's not 6-4 and he cannot dunk any more than i can. his star has fallen from the scout lists and he has been a 4-star the entire time. the current 3-star rating is just because of the early hype he received. we'll see where he is in the fall. La Lumiere's coaching staff probably didn't do him any favors. They think they're on the AND1 Mixtape tour.

  19. Jalen James reopening his recruitment?
  20. LA reporters are now saying back strain? idk... didn't look good...
  21. Jered Weaver just broke himself. Knee or ankle, couldn't tell, out of the game in the first.
  22. Ah, what the hell, it's been two weeks. http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/2885/cubswin1.gif
