Speaking of the draft, remember last year when everyone laughed at the Cubs for taking Hayden Simpson in the first RD, a guy that wasn't even considered a top 250 prospect? Well, we were all right.

 

In 114 pro innings since being drafted, he has a 6.59 ERA, 151 H, 67 BB, and 71 K to go along with a 1.90 WHIP. LOL. Absolutely terrible. Despite being awful, they have progressed him from RK to Low-A, and now High-A. In High-A, he has MORE THAN TWICE as many walks (29) as he does strikeouts (14) in 35 innings. His WHIP is 2.18.

 

Good lord, he might be the worst 1st RD pick I have ever heard of so far.

 

Wow, that is just epic fail.

 

 

 

It's hard for me to hate Rios anymore.

He's having a good season.

Maybe he was just a bad ballplayer when he was a centerfielder and can relax more in right or something.

Sunday lineup doing all right. No Seattle come backs now. Shut em down Chris.

Rios is taking it back up the middle again. Good to see.

How can you forget that Rios was a near all-star in 2010 while playing CF...?

gross.

Millwood's been very lucky today. Sox could have easily scored 2 more runs in that inning had he not deflected those grounders.

gross.

 

The count is even, sacks packed with seamen.

Looks like Michael Saunders got pissed off after he got hit by Paulie's line drive.

Man, this upcoming Toronto series will be rough. Their 3 best pitchers (Romero, Morrow, Alvarez) are going.

Yeah, we're not getting any breaks in pitching match-ups the next month or so.

The Astros' pitching sucks though.

71 pitches through 5 for Sale, still paced to throw 7.

hopefully Morrow is off his game, he took a line drive to his ankle area that forced him out of his last start

Alvarez has 21 SO in 72 IP? He's skating by on luck.

Kittens lose. Complete game for Phil Hughes.

 

Tigers 6-6 when Verlander starts.

Alvarez has 21 SO in 72 IP? He's skating by on luck.

 

Oh wow, I didn't know he had such a low K rate. His FIP is 5.4. So yeah...he is skating by on luck.

 

That K rate has to be lower than Lowe's. (see what I did there?)

I actually give him credit for those plays. Luck plays a huge facor as to where the deflection will end up, but the effort (and instinct) to throw up a bare hand (or in this case, kick a foot out) is a good way to help save an earned run sometimes.

Oh boy, here comes Stephen Pryor. I fear his 100 MPH fastball.

I feel a big game for Lexi today. I'm calling for a 3/4 day with a HR.

 

 

looks like I'll be wrong, I still had that feeling after his first hit

I'm sure The Home Depot's is pretty low too

Is Pryor ambidextrous or what???

 

Escobar's had a great approach today. Might as well try and steal here

Pryor's velocity is down after yesterday's outing. The 100 MPH must have been a result of adrenaline.

Is Pryor ambidextrous or what???

 

Lol it looks like a move from Street Fighter III
