The first time was me not realizing where I was in the queue The second time was me falling asleep in the 9th inning of the game and then thinking I'd be able to start the new thread first thing in the morning You fell asleep in the 9th inning of a no-hitter?

But then where would I post? and where would that doofus tom post about how twomey is one of the best pitchers in our system or whatever? Kellogg. Sheesh.

Buckner and the Bears better take like 3 seconds to make the pick.

Yeah, Gutierrez is one of the few guys who seems willing to sign in his period. I hope they get him. Seeing how so many guys are willing to wait till the next period and how Moncada is probably the best prospect still in the minors, it bums me out he wasn't willing to wait for the Cubs.

I merged the two threads.

Yep.

Yay!

Jake really righted his pitch count the last three innings.

EJM home run.

Pierce Johnson starting for Iowa.

Myles Jack or Shaq Lawson. Lawson makes sense if you're unsure about Jack's knee but I think someone would still take a chance in the top ten.

Good timing on the Eagles trade. The Chargers select Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss.

I imagine he's ready to get called up to Tennessee. At worst, one more start in Arizona.

The two hits he gave up yesterday were an infield single and a bunt single.

Happ is actually at high A. He just started hitting well and the questions about contact ability are still there. I imagine he'll spend at least a half season at Myrtle Beach.

Not surprising things turned around. [tweet] [/tweet]

It comes full circle. Hammel burns Lackey in Game 4 and now Lackey gets Leake.
