Jackson and Hammell have been good as we all know. Kaz has been great since coming off the DL, especially lately and yet we still have 5 great SP’s and Hellickson ready.

this seems like a pretty big change, I would be surprised if this were his slurve. If he introduces this pitch and uses it a decent amount then he could have a much more diverse arsenal. Low-mid 90s FB, mid 80s CH, mid 80s Slider, Mid-High 70s Slurve. More pitches not named fastball would be great

It looked completely different. They better not fuck with his delivery and Orvella and Brazelton him.

Im very excited for a run next year.

For now, 83 wins is my goal for this team

MLBtr gives me some advice!

# According to the Associated Press, Giants first base prospect Angel Villalona is the main suspect in the killing of a 25-year-old man in the Dominican Republic. As Tim noted on MLBTR’s Twitter feed this afternoon, “a 20 year sentence would probably affect” his prospect status. Villalona, 19, hit .267/.306/.397 in 74 games this season at Single-A San Jose.

I got banned for a day recently for my comments about BJ Upton’s effort or lack thereof to avoid a double play. While I understand this blog’s policies about fact based comments, I disagree with the 24 hour banning in this case. I have seen many other much more inflammatory posts on this site and those people are not reprimanded. I responded to an obviously slow time to first. A later post mentioned that his ankle may have been the reason for the slow time to first. That is a reasonable response IMO to my post. I forgot that he was recently injured.

In my warning that I received, I was directed to a wikipedia website article about perceived African male laziness. I take offense to the suggestion that I am picking on Upton merely because he is black. I think your judgement of me in this regard is baseless. Please stick to the facts. Upton has had several issues with lack of effort on the field. He was even pulled from a game for lack of effort. That is a fact. If I were making this claim about black athletes in general, I would certainly understand your point. This is not in my heart, and not in my opinion of Upton.

I am sorry if this post is not appropriate for this topic. I am most certainly not trying to troll for a response. I am just not sure how else to convey my feelings on this subject to all of the people who may be responsible.

Kercir in his post banning me, mentioned that I was uneducated and had a fat ass. I will have you know that neither is an accurate description. My ass is muscular and trim. :)

Weekend = awesome
