Matt Garza: What Irritated Elbow Nerve?
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 03:12Looked great vs. the BoSox today, although I swear he still throws 90% fastballs.
David Price: Movin' on up
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 04:33Not dominant, 6 IP, 4 H, 4 BB, 7 Ks; but he threw a good number of pitches and his arm didn't fall off. With the college stats this guy put up, plus reports of 99+ mph in spring training, so long as he stays healthy, he's your #1 prospect and it's not close.
Cole Hamels in the Low 90s (filler)
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 02:07I'll be honest- I didn't even see a 94, but I assume in the other innings (I just watched one), he hit it.

Never Compare Kobe to Jordan Again, Ever
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Fri, 06/13/2008 - 03:55Honestly, I prefer (personally) Paul Pierce to Kobe Bryant. He showed tonight that in a one-on-one skill contest, they're equals. Watching Kobe and his endless run-to-the-basket-and-go-up-on-one-leg-and-either-shoot-or-pass-deciding-in-the-air, compared to Pierce's solid moves to the goal, I can't help thinking, Yep, that's the difference between a guy who learned at Kansas and a guy who quit worrying about fundamentals at the age of 18.
Phil Hughes: The Least Intimidating Blogger Ever
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Wed, 06/11/2008 - 16:03I'm not sure how I feel about a player of mine writing, "haha. Talk to you later." Would Schilling do that on www.38pitches.com? Somehow I doubt it ... he sticks to self-righteous huffing and puffing, which at least makes me think think he'll get pissed off when the Blue Jays knock him around for 8 runs in 2.1 IP.
After reading Hughes, I feel like he's liable to spend the rest of his evening texting his BFFs in High A ball.
Feeding the David Price Hype Machine (in case I need to trade him)
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Wed, 06/04/2008 - 16:15flimsy, yeah, I'm just trying to keep things from drying up too much.
Clash of the (High A) Titans
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Wed, 05/28/2008 - 16:53Tonight: Vero Beach v. St. Lucie, David Price v. Pedro Martinez. Fire up your MILB audiocast players.
My prediction: Price 6 IP, 12 Ks, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB. Pedro 5 IP, 6 Ks ... ah, who really cares? Pedro's an old man.
Bartolo Colon: The Fat Man is Back!
Submitted by Rogers Reilly on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 03:36Looks like he's almost all the way back; Felix Hernandez was topping out at 97 on the same gun, and he's the hardest thrower (among starters) in baseball.
I respect the way this guy pulls a monitor out of a cubicle ...
