If you have ESPN3, its Escogida vs Cibao. In Spanish, of course.

Gracias

The shoulder patch advertising malt liquor 40's is awesome.

Hot damn Eury Perez.

His batting helmet sits on top of his fro - he's a total badass. Oh yeah, he's a total disruption on the bases.

This is cool. Thanks for sharing

Maya just owned those fools - I think he only threw one fastball, and moved through the strike zone left to right. His offspeed stuff looked silly.

Anyone speak spanish - what was the announcer saying about Kevin Goldstein?

Should this be a game day thread?

I wonder if the Lima patch is in honor of Jose.

this would be a lot more enjoyable to watch if Ray Knight were doing color commentary, but in spanish.

Speaking of Ray Knight, the color analyst spot hasn't been filled. Ray Knight wasn't permanent was he?

imref · « **Reply #10 on:** December 29, 2010, 08:58:11 pm »

no word yet. I thought there was talk that Knight didn't want to go on the road, so hopefully we get someone who's actually tolerable.

He was laughing about how his name rhymes with Shmevin Foldstein. The joke is much funnier in Spanish.

Too bad his fastball is BP level at best.

They had him at 91/92.

He doesn't even need to throw that many of them, with all of his offspeed stuff. Most pitches were in the 70's.

Livo 2.0? I appear to have slept through the broadcast.

Actually, yeah. He looked like he put on a bunch of weight.

His hook was in the low 70s, but like Livan he needs the separation in speeds to be effective. I'm glad he's getting the innings but he still should be viewed in the same light as Matt Stairs (a camp invitee not given a spot). Not one of the Nats starters should be given anything. They all have something to prove.

Well, yeah, talent vs performance is the key.

He had a neck wattle going on.

That means he put on weight rather quickly. We just saw him 3 months ago and he didn't look that big at all.

Not sure where to put this, but they break down Perez and Ramos here:

Maybe he's starting to get comfortable?

Either that... or he's getting complacent... and going to eat his way out of baseball before he even began.
