Fan Catches a ball in a beer cup. Probably made the beer taste better…. domestic American beer is such swill.
Goats head delivered to Tom Ricketts at Wrigley Field. Goat had this to say about it, “I was just happy to help my team any way I could. I have to tip my hat to the other guys for beating the crap of out of the Cubs so bad that I could get this opportunity”.
16 straight victories for Zito counting last season. 1.69 ERA. Giants may pick up his option for 2014.
Great strategy for Zito= Be terrible until just before your contract year and then turn it on again. HOWEVER If you remember, (this is from Hardball Talk) Zito started with a 1.67 ERA in four starts last April, then posted ERAs of 4.94, 4.54, 4.07 and 6.46 the following four months before rebounding in September. In 2010, Zito started 4-0 with a 1.53 ERA in April and then went 5-14 with a 4.72 ERA the rest of the way.
Bleed Cubbie Blue reported that Daytona was leading 9-7, and top prospect Jorge Soler was on first base. On a ground ball, Soler and Clearwater second baseman Carlos Alonso made contact as Alonso wheeled on a double play. Soler and Alonso jawed at each other while both benches cleared. The fight didn’t turn physical at that point, but it did momentarily thereafter.
Soler grabbed a bat from his dugout and raced toward the Clearwater bench. Cubs player Javier Baez and hitting coach Mariano Duncan hauled Soler back into his own dugout. Initial reports indicated that Soler hit the walls of the dugout with the bat, but more recent reports have removed that aspect of the story. No video has yet surfaced of the fight; contact us if you have it.
Cam we get this team to match up against the Dunedin squad? You think getting chased around with a bat will get Romero out of his funk?
Mark Buehrle and the adjustment factor in pitching. Are you hopeful in Mark Buehrle to hold it together for the rest of the season? I mean, seriously, he was throwing low to mid 80’s yesterday. His velo is down more than it was in seasons past. Is that a factor.
Nail issues and what they can mean for a pitcher with RA dickey
101 strike outs in 9 games. 101 and one strikeouts… holy cow. That’s more than I struck out in my entire career.
…. 71 strikeouts in 8 games- the Blue Jays. Uh, is that bad?
Emilio Bonifacio cannot be your second basemen all season. Great range, but it’s not range, it’s hands and foot work. Blair and I discuss.
