Since this thread is on Garcia...he was pulled today early in the game after slamming into the wall on a home run. Walked off very slowly, definitely agree with Hawk that he looked woozy. It's been several hours and no official word from the team yet on his condition which makes me wonder if they're doing a concussion test on him. I'd guess there's better than a 50/50 chance he winds up on the 7 day concussion Dl.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 05:03 PM) I'm really encouraged by Danks. His command of his off speed stuff has improved. He's got more movement and he's missing more bats. If he ever regains that velocity, he's going to be a beast. I think he's slowly getting there.

HOO HOO HOOSIERS!

6 IP, 5 k's, 1 BB, 8 hits, 2 ER, 1 HR for Danks. Again, not bad.

Aww man Dayan you've got to square that fastball up.

Nice job again Jordan. That bloop was Avisail-worthy.

Alexei finally kept one of those balls down the RF line fair!

Nice pitch

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Danks closing in on a hundred pitches and not through 5 yet. The homer he gave up is how many for the year? Lot's if that's a number I think they said it's 23. And that was the narrowest HR ever.

As lucky as that chopper single was, that's how as unlucky as that line drive be.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) That's the reason I think a position as a backup is his best shot. It would be nice to see him develop beyond that but I think he is going to have competition from our minor league OF'ers soon. He needs to step it up He's a good enough defender to be a solid backup, has power, and hits from the left hand side, so he really does fit as a backup OF on a lot of roster...but he has to hit better than .220. Get that up to .240-.250 and he's a solid backup.

That was a ridiculous chopping single.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Let's keep Jordan around. Any reports on Garcia? I can't tell if Jordan will put together enough consistency to be a quality backup/rotation player or not. The talent is there but the strikeouts are going to be in the way.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Let's keep Jordan around. Any reports on Garcia? Nothing yet. Hawk betting strongly it's a concussion.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) Where did Garcia peak on the top 100 list? He was the #74 prospect on Baseball America's 2013 preseason list. That's the highest he ever got on that list and he no longer will qualify for future lists because of service time.

GREAT JOB JORDAN NOW SHAVE THAT DAMN THING

I'd guess better than a 50-50 chance Garcia winds up on the 7 day concussion DL after that.

"Let's don't blow this one" - Hawk "Let's just get down a bunt. one bunt, to make Garza field it" - Stone.

Another nice job of hitting by Viciedo.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 01:53 AM) Definitely a concern. However... 1. The gun in Kanny was a bit inconsistent and inaccurate while I was there. I was using the readings from the scout sitting next to me as a result. The gun is literally being used by hand from the radio booth up high. Just something to keep in mind. 2. He's on limited innings, and they may also be telling him to not worry about velocity. I had at least one guy say that specifically, can't remember if it was Tyler or not though. 3. He's at the end of a full season, after throwing a full high school season followed by 2 months in the minors. He's on the "build up arm strength" path.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) What happened?? He brought out the lineup card, must have said something to the ump, and the ump tossed him during the opening. Robin came out nad had a seemingly pleasant conversation with the umps afterwards.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 02:10 PM) Lmao, Mark Parent tossed before the game started Impressive. Most impressive.

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Harold Reynolds is jump all over Ventura as a manager. Ranting about him not allowing Flowers to throw through on the steal on the top of the 7th. Something like 'he's got major league arms out there, at least make the runner earn the steal." Then bottom of 7th "boring, boring". First and third no outs and you don't put pressure on the pitcher and infielders by hit and run, steal,movement on the paths. Unbelievable." I personally think Ventura is in over his head. You know, even though it's Harold Reynolds, he might have a point there. Particularly if you're going to send up Keppinger, a guy who is supposed to put the ball in play somewhere, why not?

Dadgumit is right

You're welcome Texas.
