Harold's Leg Lift

It's a 70 curveball. It's not quite an 80 but it's damn good because of the deception, tight spin and incredible amount of depth it gets. He was also up to 97 in his last start. He has to improve his change and fastball command but he has all traits of a top of the rotation starter. As they say; "that's what they look like."

Not if he keeps throwing like this. He's a guy I thought would make a big jump during the spring but this is getting ridiculous.

Yeah you read that right. Dudes got big league shit.

It's very deep in right handed college pitchers. Left handed college pitchers is light. Jordan Wicks and his 70 change is a 1st round lock and Joe Rock is moving in that direction. Like I said they LOVE Madden but he's not likely to be there. The only other names I've heard are Colton Cowser and Drew Gray.

This isn't fair. Madden is the real deal.

The analytics say Juan Soto or Bryce Harper bunting is a win. It's too bad they can't ban analytics. The game would be fixed overnight but instead we get these dumbass changes that will continue to make the game worse.

Manfred was the lead negotiator for the owners. It's in his blood to hate baseball and the players. How they elect that F'n guy commissioner is beyond me.

Has Lori approved more fans?

Looks like Coop still isn't letting Lopey throw his curveball.

They were discussing the pitching decisions for game 3: Spiegal: Was it you or Ricky pulling those strings? Coop: Oh let me tell you something everybody had a say in what was going on. Everybody had a say. It's too bad they didn't ask him who was "everybody."

The analytics say the best way to beat the shift is to hit the ball over the shift so FO's dont want hitters adjusting to the shift. As long as there is a shift this thinking will never change.

Damn it. He came close to throwing Hahn and Haber under the bus.

Have either pitched in a spring game or are they throwing in B games?

It's a retractable roof.

Lucroy is on the team and he's going to catch often.

I think Vaughn is on the OD roster regardless of an extension.

Or they could keep him in AZ and throw him in sim games.

I think Lopez is starter in triple A. They need starting depth.

McCade brown threw the freakin crap out of it last night. He was 92-95 with a hammer. This dude's got big league shit.

Lucroy is going to be on the team and he's going to play often.

Cowser has an easy swing with a short direct path to the ball and there's definitely more power in there. He's probably going to move himself too far up the board.

Ty Madden is throwing the absolute hell out of it tonight. They really really like him but it's very doubtful he'll be there at 22. Another guy they really like is Colton Cowser and he had a good day too. He's a more realistic target.

I respect the hell out of Law but I think sometimes he gets lost trying to prove a point like he did last year when he was so low on all of the HS pitchers. I'm just not sure what point he's trying to make on this one.

Oh man is he killing it. He just flat out cranks. It's too bad he didn't have the summer some wanted to see because guys like him don't belong in college. He will be an awful lot of fun to follow the next three years and hopefully LSU can keep it rolling and we'll be able to watch him on the big stage in Omaha. What a treat that will be.

That would be incredible but I just can't believe he would be there.
