[Matt Cotcher]

The pitchers have petitioned to remove the 6th inning from the scorebook.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Barrera's shot was an absolute no doubter.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

I like the way Lee plays at 3B - he does a great job of staying in front and using his body to knock it down.

You won't find many kids on the hot corner that are willing to bounce one off their chest to make a play.

[Johnstark23]

Was watching Clemens' last outing, the downward action on his curveball is absolutely outstanding.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Parker Joe Robinson does not have a typical body-type for a freshman. Big kid.

That's what I said last week!

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Shaw didn't quite get his hands through. If he had, that would have been a gapper. Maybe even off the wall.

Strange. On the press box roster, Mayes is on the Orange squad. It lists McGuire as #5 for White.

Turns out this roster is from Game 2. Freakin' Patterson...always trying to save money on printing expense.
