If I thought he was cute before
the face J.J. is making there would make me rethink that.
Good thing I think he’s butt ugly

You can also take a little walk down memory lane.

Yet another reason I'm cooler than Trenni
She doesn’t even know where home plate is!

Sure
But Braun’s bedroom doesn’t count, and neither do the dugouts

Quick rundown of the minors
Steven Hammond got roughed up- 8ER in four innings.
Braddock, on 3 days rest, only threw 1 inning- 3 walks, 1 hit, four runs.
RJ Siedel had a nice outing, 6.1 and 1 ER.
Evan Frederickson has walked 3, struck out 2 in 2 innings- hopefully that ends there. Helena having weird injury issues. Cutter Dykstra and Logan Schafer both have groin injuries? Ummm…
And finally, Arizona had 8 errors and a passed ball today in what was presumably a baseball game.
And neck size to baby eating ratio.

And every Diamondback batter will walk up to the plate to “Toreador” from Carmen.

Braddock also had two HBP
He's extremely quick and good.

From the AP recap
Amid chants of "Let’s Go Brewers" from the thousands of fans making the trip across state lines, Braun had an RBI single in the first and Cameron scored on a ground out in the second for a 2-0 Milwaukee lead.The attendance was 38,963, Minnesota’s largest since Opening Day.
He's extremely quick and good.

I just copied that from the Star Tribune
but they also had this:
Eric Gagne, out since May 21 with right rotator cuff tendinitis, threw a bullpen session Saturday that included 30 pitches and then throwing to a few hitters. “He had life on his pitches and command of his fastball was decent,” said manager Ned Yost. “It’s looking like he’s real, real close.” ... Minnesota 2B Alexi Casilla did not play after spraining his left middle finger Friday. He is expected to be available Sunday.

there were ridiculous amounts of Brewers fans there
Well, I was there and I’m pretty ridiculous.
Highlights from the non-game action: Saw a few unusual player shirts in our section-one Kapler, a Suppan, a Villanueva, and in the next section over someone was wearing a Turnbow jersey. Dude, that’s a sunk cost. (says the person thinking about getting a Counsell shirt-do they have those?)

Oh of course
C’mon man, they have Gagne shirts, for God’s sake!!!! But yeah, my GF got a Counsell shirt, along with a Villanueva shirt, and she actually gets baseball. Don’t ask me, but she does get baseball for the most part. Heck, i kinda want a Counsell/Kapler shirt!!!

Josh Romanski
In the game thread, I commented that 4th-round LHP Josh Romanski was being used as a DH at Helena. Well, it turns out that might be a good idea: he’s 3-3 with a double and 2 runs scored.
He's extremely quick and good.

craziness
dodgers just won a game vs the angels in which they didn’t get a hit.

Livan really was throwing BP
Check this out: he ranks 11th in all of baseball in the percentage of fastballs thrown at 71.3%, but unlike everyone else near the top of the list, his fastball doesn’t approach or exceed 90 mph—it doesn’t even come close, actually, clocking in at 83.9 mph on average. How does he get away with it?
He's extremely quick and good.

Comparing with dixie's stuff
dixie has him at 69.7 FB% with an average velocity of 85.5 mph.
He's extremely quick and good.

Hernandez's breaking balls
Looking at his charts, it looks like he has two different breaking balls, wouldn’t you say, dixie? Fangraphs has him throwing a slider and curve, FWIW.
He's extremely quick and good.

Yeah the algorithm is clearly missing his curve
I could easily hand edit it but there will be another update today so I don’t really want to be hand editing stuff while games keep piling up. Maybe at the ASB. It is interesting comparing my charts to fangraphs. Sometimes they match up quite well, sometimes it appears that fangraphs is way off and sometimes my algorithm is way off. Lucky for me my algorithm is only going to get better and fangraphs is stuck with what they have. Check out Shawn Marcum for a guy who fangraphs is just off base on.

I know where I'm putting my money
Bet it all on red!

He's extremely quick and good.
