Yeah, Josh Vitters

He’s almost the only prospect in their system.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

#3 overall pick two years ago behind Price and Mike Moustakas

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

Were they that bad?

I don’t remember them being bad enough to earn the #3 pick.

BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

Dusty's last year was a bad one

66-96 in ’06.

Man

You would think I would remember that.

I didn't remember it either

I knew Vitters was the third overall pick, but I was trying to remember what free agent the Cubs could have lost that would have given them that pick.

What are the odds

We can get Dusty Baker back as their skipper? At least he is still ruining dreams and careers in the NL Central.

Yeah, they went worst-to-first between '06 and '07

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 9:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

Gotta love the names on the Chiefs

Rebel Ridling and Junior Lake.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

Dykstra kind of reminds me of Gabe Kapler

Running around out there like “Whoa, whoa, whoa…okay I got it.”

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 5:44 PM CDT reply actions  

Or...

Lenny and Cutter Play With Fire, followed perhaps by Lenny and Cutter Play Catch Through Lenny’s Prison Bars.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 5:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

Man,

every time I read something new about Dykstra I like him even less. What a greedy prick.

by Braunstalker on Apr 23, 2009 11:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Wow, this is some ugly outfield play

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

Awesome leaping catch from Lawrie

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 6:10 PM CDT reply actions  

A Hit!

About time. I’m heading out the game tomorrow night at Miller Park, can’t wait! Go T-Rats!

by zsattler on Apr 23, 2009 6:29 PM CDT reply actions  

Lawrie hit that ball hard

Reid Nichols with the old “the ball just sounds different off his bat” line.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 6:37 PM CDT reply actions  

Lame.

I heard that too. He doesn’t sound excited at all to be sitting in Appleton right now.

by zsattler on Apr 23, 2009 6:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

He barely sounds alive

Then again, how exciting can it possibly be to be interviewed by Bob “Human Cartoon” Brainerd?

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 6:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nieves has been quite hittable

Not much help from the defense though.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 6:57 PM CDT reply actions  

Chaos!

Lawrie with just his second single of the year and, after some infield defense tomfoolery, the game is tied 5-5.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 7:17 PM CDT reply actions  

He kind of looks like a vampire in his MiLB pic

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 7:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

By the way, for anyone wondering

The announcers clarified that his name is pronounced “Lorry”, despite the team informing them that it was “Law-rie”. I guess that means Brett himself did not pick out the name of his blog (“Laying Down the Lawrie”).

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 7:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

Huge game from Cutter Dykstra

3-3 with a double and a walk and 2 SB. Scored three runs and drove in one.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

by battlekow on Apr 23, 2009 7:41 PM CDT reply actions  

Lawrie just made a great play to get the lead runner going to third from second on a grounder

Good arm, obviously.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
