June 10, 200917 yr Any chance this game gets played tonight? 1st pitch to be at 8:50 tonight @ Washington!
June 10, 200917 yr Looks like the storm is passing. Just depends on how long the crew is willing to wait... Just saw a "tweet" on the MLB site. Game is scheduled to start at 8:50. I'm glad we'll get this game in. I'd love to start off with a sweep of the Nats & head into KC. Hopefully KC won't get rained out, as they have Greinke scheduled for Thursday...
June 10, 200917 yr Reds welcome Mike Leake in the draft: Fastball: Leake threw his fastball from 88-94 mph. It sat comfortably around 91 mph. Fastball movement: There was above-average sink and plenty of side-to-side movement, with some run to it. He changes arm angles for different looks. Slider: It's a hard, downward slider, thrown 79-82 mph. Curve: An average offering ... not an out pitch. He can throw it for strikes in the 73-76 mph range. Changeup: Close to a plus pitch and he'll throw it at any point in the count. Control: He has plus, plus command, perhaps a 70 on the scouting scale. Poise: It's a plus, plus attribute. He has the presence to pitch in the big leagues right now. He's more of a lead-by-example guy -- soft-spoken, but confident. Physical Description: Leake is an undersized righty, but is athletic and strong, kind of like a Tim Hudson type. Medical Update: Healthy. Strengths: Four pitches that are all usable and the ability to command all of them extremelly well. He's extremely durable, having thrown as many innings as just about anyone in the class over the past few seasons. Weaknesses: There's a little hip turn in his delivery, but it doesn't affect him. There will be those who'll be concerned about his size. Summary: As a six-foot righty, people may want to overlook Leake as a big-time pitching prospect, but they might be missing the boat. He can throw four pitches for strikes and his poise is off the charts. He may not be that big, but he's athletic, strong and durable with an extremely efficient delivery. He's done nothing but perform with the Sun Devils and whoever looks past his size could have themselves a steal.
June 10, 200917 yr After 2 and 1/2 , Reds up 1-0. Reds should be on the clock soon in the draft, wasn't they supposed to get a pick after first round(comp. pick for Affledt) at #43?
June 10, 200917 yr George Grande is a disaster, but he's not nearly as bad as the announcer from ESPNU for the CWS. Didn't catch his name, but you haven't heard bad announcing until you've heard him. I'm watching the game & listening to the iPod. Lovin' it.
June 10, 200917 yr Nick Johnson... I had a hard time coming up with that. Elijah Dukes goes yard. 1-1 bottom 4.
