But you have to feel bad for him, this is just a mess. Not a lot of guys have recovered from this kind of thing so I hope he gets some help and figures this out. Hansen was always a high risk high reward guy. The majority of those kind of picks flame out.

Lots of time being called. Fastball doesn't look like anything special. Throws his slider and change-up often. Uses the whole repertoire. Is in and out, up and down. Curious what the fastball is at. He's definitely not blowing it by people. That was the book on Pilkington, wasn't it? He had a good fastball as a soph in college and then lost velocity, thus him slipping out of the first round. Still liking what I'm seeing, especially if there still might be some hidden/lost velocity somewhere in there. 3 hours ago, DirtySox said: Robert walk. Nice at bat. Finally laid off all the breaking crap out of the zone.
June 16, 20196 yr Nice showing for our senior signings last night in Great Falls! I cant really spell names but pawalcyzk had 3 ks in one inning, Patel had 2ks in one. And there was another one but I forgot who.

Don't get it, what the fuck

I think it's nothing that can't be fixed with .5 milligrams of lorazepam administered 1 hour before each outing. My 87 year old mother in law takes them for her nerves. P.S. I'm almost not kidding.

It's a shame, because 2 years ago he looked like a big hit. Oh well, shit happens. Leading into spring 2018 he was the pitching prospect I was most excited about.
