"I can't believe I'm even here," Escobar said. "It's very different than the Minor Leagues. It's a different way to play baseball. I'm watching superstars like Ben Sheets and Jake Peavy. I've never seen those guys together in one game. It's very cool."

Ben Sheets is thrilled that Louisiana-Monroe only lost to Arkansas by one.

"If the Brewers make the playoffs, the Indians get to choose the 'player to be named' to complete the Sabathia deal. If the Brewers don't make the postseason, they get to choose the player they'll send the Indians."

Jeremy Jeffress' interview with Trenni during the broadcast on Friday night. Not very long, but it's interesting to learn that he just added a two-seamer to his arsenal at the end of the season.
