Whatever that last pitch was, was ridiculous. I assume it was a two-seamer.
Yeah the fastball is great but that 1-2 change against LeMahieu shows what he still has to work on.  The change doesn't appear to come from the same arm slot as the fastball and it really needs to to be effective at the major league level.  Looks like for all the confidence he has in his fastball, the secondary stuff still needs work.

Over heard at park by Rockies fan. “I can’t stand Bryce Harper. He gets so much hype but doesn’t do anything. Same as with Mike Trout with the Angels.“

Maybe he brought some weed with him.

FP just said the Rockies are the 2nd toughest lineup to face. LOL

That's what some of you here sound like when you put other players down in order to prop up your pet Nats.

He's not even in the discussion. The juiced era makes it that much harder. He's not going to have 3000 hits. He's not going to have 500 home runs. His average won't be over .300 and he had three seasons of truly great defensive play at third. He's bascially Buddy Bell

I heard for the first time yesterday (that I can recall anyway) that Bill Madlock isn't in the hall.    If he ain't, Zim ain't.

Maybe he should just pitch to the bottom half of the order.

Pretty good chance of being swept today, Edwin in game two does not excite

I disagree. This ump has a horrible strike zone. Extremely inconsistent. I think Fedde has done okay considering the circumstances.

A little bit different type but the eras they played in probably explains that away (Mad Dog would have more comparable power numbers if he played in today's game).


Didn't the pirates also have a player they called the hammer?

I can remember Dick Hoak (Tiger) and Richie Hebner (The Digger?).    Madlock did have 4 batting crowns.

At least he's not destroying his trade value, unlike the last top pitching prospect we called up

That reflection off of Hannigan's wristband is really distracting.  Surprised he hasn't been asked to remove it.

give up a top prospect for Sonny before it's too late  the farm will not provide a quality starter just like it could not provide a quality BP guy

Roark is useless this year and we have no 5th starter anyway
That's Max Gio and injury prone Stras
That's not looking good for the playoffs
