Minors Notes
Take 75 North and Tigstown both break down the GCL Tigers roster.
The Surge notes that Chris Carlson broke his hand in the All Star game.
Lastly we have a couple of pictures of Flying Tigers that reader Bill Bouie sent me tonight.
Sheffield looks a little down… Willis doesn’t seem to excited either.. I really do wish that Willis will find his command and make his way back to the team.
Willis looks like Bubba from Forrest Gump in that picture.
buffalo shrimp.. shrimp on a stick… coconut shrimp…
Classic.
Notice how Willis has his hat on strait…. If you are going to get serious about throwing the ball where it is to be thrown, you should at least wear your hat in the way it supposed to be worn.
Chris: Why is straight the only way a hat can be worn? And who makes these rules?
Regarding the minor league scores: Porcello had 11 GB outs and just 2 FB outs. He’s an absolute ground ball machine since they’ve taken away his Curveball. Imagine when he gets that back (presumably next year).
The A’s did the same thing with Trevor Cahill, billfer, and this year Cahill is DOMINATING the best hitters league in pro ball with it back in his repertoire. I’m so excited about Porcello.
I know this is the wrong thread but I was just on hittrackeronline.com and the 3 homers that Thames hit in SF had “true” distances of: 428, 418, and 452.
Ryan Raburn’s was 423.
is that Willis looking at the plate…that would be different
also…straight hat…sorry that is a must for us old schoolers…bend in the bill of the cap also..sorry Chamberlain
.and Willis looking at where he is going to throw the ball.
..all of these are required for major league play
