Harold's Leg Lift

Alex Mooney with an absolute moon shot but the bigger take away here is the entire counrty is playing HS baseball while Illinois is still 2 weeks away.

.

Yep then he went down and got a breaking ball and drove it out the other way. He does a really good job of staying inside the baseball and can really manipulate the barrel. That dude can hit.

Man I really like Cowser's swing. Have to think he's a lock to go in the top half of the first round.

I caught a few AB's from Fabian this weekend. He's all up in his own head right now. He's taking pitches in the zone and swinging at pitches out of the zone. I think the layoff has affected the hitters more than we thought. It's just not just affecting the top guys there are guys who were thought to be 3-7 rounders not hitting too. If teams just go off spring stats they're going to miss on a lot of really good hitters,

This happens when they repeatedly draft corners instead of middles.

No doubt.

Good lord he's thru 6 with another no- no. Like I said, that dude is scary good.

Rocker didn't have his good stuff last night. He was mostly 91-93 though he also didn't have the hometown hot gun. The slider was good and that pitch will always bail him out at this level.

He's out. One dimensional players only.

Shocking

Welcome to Team Immovable Objects.

This really highlights just how little flexibility this team has.

There's more to athleticism than being able to run in a straight line. Body control and agility are huge parts of athleticism and Eloy is severely lacking in both. Like he has none.

He's so bad at so many aspects of catching.

It's fair becuase he's just playing left field. All he has to do is wait for the ball to stop rolling, pick it up and throw it in. (Literally) staying alive for his next at bat is the most important thing he can do on defense.

It's really hard to believe just how bad Eloy is on defense. He might be the worst defensive player I've ever seen.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, MLB will begin using Statcast data to crack down on the use of foreign substances by pitchers. Wow. They're finally going to use the data for something useful. This could be interesting.

Using him as starter depth was always the plan and yes it's a bad plan.

Pray a starter doesn't get injured.

Piss rocket

That's a really really big problem.

Amazing what can happen when you put the work in, eh Carlos??
