Wheels first words to Sarge were "You a**hole...look what you've done!"

are these west coast games killing anyone else?

im so friggin tired

I've had tests at 8AM this week so I usually make it to the 4th or 5th, leave the TV on, and somehow wake up in the 9th to watch the end.

Kyle Drabek's debut in AA last night, 7 innings...no runs, topped out at 99

Article said that gun was probably wrong and that he was hittin 95 on another gun. Still impressive, he's got #1 potential. I think Carrasco has moved from #1 pitching prospect in the minors to #3 behind Drabek and basticho.

not bad for a guy coming back from Tommy John, and someone that the scouts thought had more potential at SS

[ice grillin you]

its weird to me how someone can throw 95-99 and only strike out four at the AA level


and before you freaks flip and and say that im hating im not...i think he can be a frontline pitcher and i fully expect him to strikeout 11 his next start but that immediately jumped out at me when i saw the box score last night


if he pitches when reading comes down to bowie in a couple weeks im gonna go see him

[Seabiscuit36]

4so's and 3 walks isnt impressive, but 7 innings is pretty damn good.  What ever happened to Scott Mathieson?  He was the next billy wagner until his elbow blew out according to baseball nerds

[rjs246]

Pretty sure you just answered your own question.

[ice grillin you]

he had another tommy john and i believe is out again for this whole season

Velocity isn't everything, I'd rather throw 90-92 and have great movement on my fastball.

[rjs246]

I'd rather you did that too.

[SD_Eagle5]

I hit 70 drunk at CBP

[Munson]

Kinda makes you feel like shtein when a 46 year olds change up is still faster than you could ever throw a baseball.

in double a it normally is...you can throw 95-99 on a tee in AA and get more than four strikeouts...and he will

not to mention when you throw that hard it makes your off speed stuff that much nastier...at least it should

i suspect he was throwing well below 95 last night

[SunMo]

how can you throw something on a tee?  are you throwing the whole tee with the ball?  if so, i would think that is much more distracting than just a ball coming at you, and i doubt you can throw a tee 95 mph.

[ice grillin you]

how about you throw yourself on a sharp stake
