Interesting point by Bagwell about pitchers not pitching inside. I loved to pitch inside, and that was the way I was taught-jam them and break bats.

That a boy. If CJ can get going this team's offense might actually be decent.

Biggio's formal relationship to the club is the same as Bagwell's: Special Assistant to the General Manager. Also in this elite group are Doug Brocail, Enos Cabell, Jose Cruz and Julio Linares.

Whether he actually does anything I have no idea. I know Bagwell works with the guys (some listen, some don't) and Brocail and Cabell are reasonably involved in scouting. Linares used to run the Dominican operation; I'm not sure what he does now.

I thought it was KOOK-uhl. Bet you can't guess my nickname for him.

Christ, Brandy. Throw a fucking strike. Get a ground ball.

First time I've been compelled to respond to a fielding play with Pence!!!

Wow, Keuchel is a groundball machine. 15 groundouts, 5 Ks, 1 fly out.

Only had one fly ball out his first outing as well.

I lucked out and caught one of his CWS games right after we drafted him, but I'd been pronouncing it "Ketchel" before that.

I saw one of his games as well, but certainly don't recall it being KIKE-uhl. Shows you what I know...

Always enjoyed watching Sutil in the field (had another superb play tonight for the Hooks) - nice to see him having success at the plate so far this season!

I can't believe that I just saw Caballo dive for a ball and catch it.

It was a gravity embracing dive. Great catch.

"Downsy," Mills? Really?

Just call him Trig if you're bothering to go down that path at all.

WTF is DoRay doing on TV?!?!?!

I'm going back to the Trailer Park Boys marathon. God bless Canada.
