What other positions could he play with regards to proving his versatility and thus draft stock? He has played catcher before. I don't recall him being particularly good there but with some reps maybe he could get into the rotation. Sort of like how trav put in some innings, at least early on. There...

Honestly, Hellmers has pulled a golden ball out his rump and hasn't needed the generous zone. And as I type that, a pitch easily within the range of give that he's given the NC pitcher just got called a ball....

I'll give their pitcher credit, he's definitely taking advantage of the generous zone. It's caused us to either go down looking on garbage or get weak swings trying to stay alive on stuff that's obviously out the zone....

In general I don't love the huge zone, but today, as long as he is consistent about it, I'll take it....

They're getting some excellent bounces and made a couple of excellent plays. We're outplaying them by far overall. Just gotta keep the pressure on and get some more runs. They're not going down easy just as we aren't. This is our game we just have to finish it out strong...

Strike two was not a strike but we needed it bigtime. Its been called a strike plenty enough tonight both ways so all's fair as far as I'm concerned....

[quote]UNC doesn’t look too good ever since CJJ made them get rid of that camera [/quote] Is this a joke? I know they had a kerfuffle earlier where the TV crew was saying there was something about a camera but they didn't really say much about it. Did Jay actually request the camera removed?...

[quote]Man I really want Travinski to go off again like last year, but given Neal’s performance today looks like he’s headed for some pine time for a bit.[/quote] I think you're gonna see Neal catch the afternoon game. Possible you see Frey DH for Trav, but he has decent speed and after he got o...

Def not the start we were needing. What we needed was a strong start, get a good lead on them to take them out of their game. Instead, we're playing right into it. Lot of baseball to go, but we've gotta set up....
Jones of this year on last year's team would have been devastating because teams would have to pitch to him more. What we lack this year is protection for Jones. He does well as Tommys protection but if no one is on teams just pitch around him and he's picked up a ton of walks. No one is behind him ...
[quote]We need to bash our way into Monday.[/quote] FIFY Our hitting has been streaky as hell this year, even within a game. Frequently we'll start off hot and put up a bunch of runs early and then not even be competitive through the rest of the game, or we'll struggle all game and then go on...
