[abbr=Competitive Balance Round A]CB Rd. A[/abbr]: Nathan Kirby LHP 6'2", 200, L/L, University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA) DOB: 11/23/1993 (Perfect Game) (WVIR-TV) SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game Nathan Kirby Perfect Game Profile (Insider content provided by Patrick Ebert of PerfectGame.org) Height/Weight: 6-2/185 Bats/Throws: L/L Birthdate: Nov. 23, 1993 College: Virginia Hometown: Midlothian, Va. Projected Draft Round: 1 The key word when it comes to Nathan Kirby is polish. A pitcher with a pedigree of winning at the University of Virginia, Kirby is a pitcher that will be ready to make a rapid ascension to the big leagues when he arrives in professional baseball. Scouts know exactly what Kirby is going to give them start to start, and not surprisingly he’s been his consistently dominant self through his first six starts in 2015. Kirby has a 1.16 ERA and has struck out a whopping 54 batters through his first 38 2/3 innings of work. The 6-foot-2 lefthander has looked very much the part of top of the first round draft choice this spring, starting with the lively 91-94 mph fastball that first put him on the map. Beyond raw velocity, there is deception in Kirby’s delivery, as well was as late running action on the fastball. The fastball is only the beginning of the story for Kirby, however. Kirby’s changeup is a pitch that has taken a major step forward this spring. We’ve seen Kirby dominate with his breaking ball in the past, but his changeup has been nearly its equal in 2015. In fact, he has been so effective with it that he’s reminded many scouts of a past Virginia ace, Danny Hultzen. Through the early part of many outings, Kirby has shown a heavy diet of changeups, but by the middle innings of games, Kirby’s advanced, deep arsenal gets fully unveiled. While Kirby has a slower curveball he’ll throw now and then at 78-80 mph, what he relies upon heavily is his sharp, above average 81-86 mph slider. It’s a slider with outstanding vertical depth, and when he’s on top consistently it’s a true swing and miss offering. And, his 84-86 mph changeup, as well as his command of it, has been exceptional throughout the spring. In terms of track record and pure stuff, it’s hard to top Kirby if you are stacking him up against other college arms. His stuff will allow him to miss bats at the next level, and the only thing to keep an eye on will be just how repeatable his mechanics will be. There are some moving parts to his arm action, and at times he commands his secondary pitches better than his fastball. He’ll need to prove willing to be more aggressive with his fastball as a professional as well. It’s easy to nitpick a pitcher of this caliber, however, and despite these small issues, Kirby is an extremely safe bet to be a middle of the rotation big league starter. MLB.COM (Rank: 26) Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50 Kirby pitched out of Virginia's bullpen in 2013, then served as the Cavaliers' No. 1 starter in 2014 when the team finished second in the College World Series and featured a first-round pick (Nick Howard) and two supplemental first-rounders (Derek Fisher, Mike Papi). Entering the 2015 season as the top college lefty in the Draft class, Kirby's drop in velocity and command issues did concern some and then a lat strain shelved him in April, somewhat clouding his Draft status. A Virginia high school product who removed himself from the 2012 Draft, Kirby has been up to 94 mph in the past, but was sitting around 89-91 mph this spring, with some saying the dip was because he was throwing too many sliders, a plus pitch. The fastball can play up because of its life and angle and his ability to work it to both sides of the plate and he backs it up with that slider and a solid changeup. Kirby usually fills the strike zone, but was nibbling too much leading to an uptick in his walk rate. Even with that and the injury, his track record, arm strength and stuff should still get him drafted in the first round. Sports Illustrated Kirby got off to a fast start this spring and was a potential top-10 pick until he began experiencing side issues that affected his command and raw stuff and eventually shut him down after 10 starts (5–2, 2.28 ERA, 75 strikeouts in 59 innings). Healthy, Kirby throws in the 91–94 mph range from a deceptive delivery to go with a plus slider and solid changeup. There has been speculation that he is almost ready to pitch as Virginia moves into NCAA Super Regionals, but he did not take part in Regionals play.

ROUND 1: Trent Clark, OF 6'0", 205, L/L, Richland HS (North Richland Hills, TX) DOB: 11/01/1996 (Associated Press) (Perfect Game) SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game Trenton Clark Perfect Game Profile (Insider content provided by Patrick Ebert of PerfectGame.org) Trenton Clark – OF Height/Weight: 6-0/200 Bats/Throws: L/L High School: Richland Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas Travel Team: D-BAT Commitment: Texas Tech Projected Draft Round: 1 The sample size is growing larger and larger for Trenton Clark. The north Texas outfielder can flat out hit. And not only is he incredibly consistent about squaring up the baseball, the lefthanded hitter appears to have a complete offensive package of tools and skills. The evidence line reads as follows. Clark hit .458-10-34 as a high school junior. He then dominated the Tournament of Stars as a previously unheralded prospect, then hit .565 with three home runs and 10 walks for the USA National 18u team. This spring he's off to a .550-1-5 start in five games, with 11 walks against two strikeouts. Clark's patience and vision at the plate immediately stand out when you watch him play over a multi-day period. He's not afraid to work counts, is loathe to swing at anything he can't square up and treats a walk with the enthusiasm most hitters treat a line drive in the gap. It would be a big surprise if he wasn't a high on-base performer at the next level. Clark's speed is also impactful. He regularly runs in the 4.0 to 4.1 range from the left side and boosts his average with a steady flow of infield hits. He's also already shown that he's practiced in the art of bunting and will bunt for a base hit if given the opportunity. Although he has obviously shown home run power, that is one area of his offensive package that most scouts will likely only grade out as big league average. Part of that reason relates to swing plane and his swing approach, which is more line drive/gap oriented. The other is that Clark has a very unusual split hand grip on the bat that is hard to even describe, let alone quantify as being able to produce consistent lift against high level pitching. The last part of Clark's overall package, his defensive ability, is also solid. His speed obviously plays well in the outfield and he has a solid average throwing arm, if not a tick above average. He'll likely be able to play all three outfield positions as needed over the next decade unless he slows down significantly. Add that all up and you have a player who increasingly looks like a solid first rounder come June. MLB.COM (Rank: 12) Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 45 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55 Clark reinforced his reputation as one of the best prep hitters available with his performance at the 18-and-under Pan American Championship in Mexico in September. He led Team USA to a gold medal by topping the team in nearly every offensive category, hitting .565 with three homers, 20 RBIs and five steals in eight games. Clark has an unusual left-handed swing with a golf-style grip, but he makes repeated hard contact with his short stroke and above-average bat speed. Factor in his considerable strength and he should have at least average power. He also adds value on the bases with his solid speed and keen instincts. While he's not a true burner, Clark has a chance to stay in center field as a pro. Left field would be his likely fallback position and the Texas Tech commit should have enough bat to profile there if needed. Sports Illustrated Clark is a dynamic athlete who combines both strength and speed and has an advanced feel for the game. He hits lefthanded with a very unusual grip and hand position on the bat, but that didn't keep him from hitting well over .500 both this spring and last summer and fall for the USA National 18U team. Clark has also shown an outstanding understanding of the strike zone and is a polished and skillful bunter, profiling him as a potential high-level leadoff hitter with above-average power for that role in a lineup. Baseball America Clark’s batting grip is a little unorthodox. He eschews batting gloves and he holds his thumbs on the bat like he’s gripping a golf club. It has always worked for him and few who have seen him doubt his ability to hit. One evaluator called him the best high school bat to come out of Texas in the past five years. He’s battled blisters and ankle problems but has still managed to impress this spring, thanks to excellent bat speed and a long track record of performing both on the showcase circuit and internationally. Clark has 70 speed on the 20-to-80 scouting scale at his best, and unlike most of the rest of top of the prep outfield class, Clark should remain in center field for the long-term. He gets good jumps to go with his excellent speed and he has plenty of arm for center. He’s already pretty well filled out physically. He projects as an above-average hitter with future average power. He has an excellent batting eye that allows him to draw walks. He could profile as a top-of-the-order table setter who can get on base and steal, but he has enough pop to end up in the middle of the lineup. Clark has impressed for years with his feel for the game, his leadership qualities and his knack for performing on the biggest stages. He’s committed to Texas Tech.

Pitchers were hitting eighth when Gómez led off and ninth when he didn't. I believe that Lucroy being out was a contributing factor. This is the first time in recent memory that Gómez has led off with the pitcher hitting ninth.

Craig said that determining the starters beyond tomorrow is day to day.

Per Craig Counsell, Tyler's being sent back down. That wasn't the plan, but the Brewers need a fresh arm for tomorrow. Craig "guesses" that Tyler will go to Biloxi, but he said that the destination "wasn't even discussed."

It's the other way around. A player has to be down 10 days before he can be recalled. The exception would be that he can be recalled early if it's to replace an injured player.

During the TV pregame show, they said to expect about 92 MPH. They said he threw up to 96 MPH as a reliever.

I think that "an hour or so" defines a therapy dog. A service dog performs specific tasks that require extensive training with his master. A therapy dog's job is to make people feel good. He can become a permanent family member, or he can visit for an hour and go on his merry way.

Count me among those who feel we're lucky to have Brian. As others have said over the years, give some of the other teams' announcers a listen. The times he annoys me are few and far between. He said "bases loaded clearing triple" the other night. I haven't heard that from him in several years. Every bases loaded triple clears the bases, so we don't need more information. In the case of a double, "three run double" would be a lot less awkward. I've learned to laugh when he says "groin" (GROW-in). I wonder if that comes from a Texas accent in an earlier life. Bill used to annoy me a lot, but he hasn't really bothered me in recent years. He used to make claims that could be immediately refuted by a simple stat, such as stating that American League teams didn't steal a lot of bases. I think that Anderson does a lot to make him better than he might be otherwise. There was too much buffoonery when he was paired with Sutton. Coshun is the one who bothers me the most, mainly because of his continuous mispronunciation of names. I don't think he ever got Paul Maholm's name right despite the fact that he played for divisional rivals for eight years. It took him several years to pronounce Gallardo. He might finally be pronouncing Lucroy correctly; I'm not sure. But he was bumbling Jonathan's name as recently as last year. I don't think he'll ever pronounce Ramírez properly. On the plus side, I haven't heard him end any of this year's broadcasts by saying "That'll do it for Davey and I." (Craig, it's "Davey and me.") That drove me nuts in previous years. I think that Sophia's gotten a lot better. It really bothered me when she couldn't "speak" a batting average during a feature that was otherwise excellent, and that stuck with me for quite a while. Davey doesn't bother me. I don't see anything special, but he doesn't try to act like he's special. Jerry's kind of hit or miss, but like Davey, it helps a lot that he isn't trying to be cool. I can take or leave Jeff Grayson. I don't really feel a connection, maybe because he's rarely at the game. Marney Gellner does OK in the tough spot of being an occasional pinch hitter. Has Telly Hughes done any games this year? It took a while for him to grow on me. I have to say that I miss Trenni Kusnierek, though.

It might be simpler just to take the bags back to the store, packaging or not and receipt or not. They should be able to send the bags back as defective. I agree with Patrick, though. The solution would have been to send some kind of voucher, no questions asked. But as pointed out, the e-mail may not have been read carefully or not at all. I have a similar situation with a fish tape that broke a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if I can locate the receipt, and I definitely don't have the packaging. I expect that I'll have no problem taking it back to Home Depot other than having to wait a few minutes for them to locate the SKU. Menards has a nice setup where you can swipe your credit card and print out previous receipts. I wonder if Home Depot has that. It's a good system that more stores should implement.

Based on an e-mail discussion of a household project, I added "macgyvered" to my custom dictionary yesterday. While I was at it, I also added "macgyver" and "macgyvering." There was a sign at Friday's game that said something like "Counsell's Council" or "Counsell's Counsel." hawing was at the game; maybe she saw it. I think that the bottom line with Counsell is that he's been around for two decades and has had a prominent career. People who follow baseball should have seen his name often enough to know it isn't "Council." "Counsel" isn't so bad because it's close to the correct spelling. Zack Greinke's name is probably the one that's been misspelled more than any other on this board. I checked once, and I believe his last name was spelled "Grienke" about 40% of the time. Then there's the Zack vs. Zach thing. I didn't find the Greinke misspellings to be nearly as annoying, though, except possibly for the need to do two searches to find posts about him.

I got curious, so I went back and checked. I've added about 15 words to Firefox, including There'd, Counsell, Brookfield, javascript, Brewerfan, Wauwatosa, That'll, dropdown, Aoki, versa, Tapatalk, Beloit, else's, there'll, there'd, iPad, and iCloud. I actually know how to spell all of those words. But I don't like looking at the warnings because they can cause me to ignore an error that needs to be attended to. I've added a bunch of other words to the Mac spell checker. Among them are Brodhead, Delavan, dimmable, Dotster, LambeauLeap, Menards, Oconomowoc, subforum, Summerfest, Undermount, unswitched, Footville, and Glarus. Firefox's US spell checker doesn't include any of these. Brookfield, Wauwatosa, and Beloit have made the cut for Apple's US spell checker. I'm always reluctant to add anything to default spell checkers because if put something in by mistake, I have run over to Google to find out how to fix it.

Auto-correct and lack of attention are responsible for a lot of spelling errors these days, with people using their phones. I recently needed to put an electrical item from Leviton on my shopping list, and my Mac kept insisting on changing it to "levity." Except for flagging it as a misspelling, the Mac leaves "Counsell" alone. Firefox's spell checker approves of "Counsell," though. I wonder if I added it way back when.

In 1953, it was discovered that the legalities weren't covered when Ohio became a state. In 1953, Congress passed a retroactive law declaring that Ohio became a state on March 1, 1803.

Obviously, there's no "right" answer to this. My favorite seats are the Loge Diamond in front of the press box. They're close to the field while still providing a panoramic view. Plus, the ushers are great. If you can't get seats in front of the press box, going a little bit down the lines is still cool. The Club is a farther away as far as the view goes. But the wider seats, the lesser number of rows, the waiter service, and the air conditioned concourses are great. I recall going to games on a couple of hundred degree days where I'd have loved to be in the Club just to be able to get a convenient respite from the heat. It's fun to be close to the action on the field level, but there isn't a lot of pitch. I recall sitting in row 5 and not being able to see well because of heads in front of me. I think the right field outfield seats are better than left field because they're pointed right at home plate. However, when we sat there, there were people in front of us who frequently left their seats at inopportune times. That problem seems to be minimized as you get closer to home plate. The terrace level has the greatest amount of pitch, which makes the terrace boxes a great buy. Even though you're farther away than at other levels, you never have to worry about your view being blocked. If you need [abbr=Americans with Disabilities Act ]ADA[/abbr] seating, you can't beat the Club, especially if you can get seats in the third base section. All Club level ADA seating is essentially front row, which is significant if standing is an issue. The third base section is close to the elevator, which helps if walking is a problem. I think the bottom line is to try out a few spots based on advice in this thread and decide what works best for you. While I have "favorite" seats, I'm not afraid to move around based on whatever circumstances that might apply.
