    How do you figure? I thought they played their guts out against a huge team that was getting all the calls. I thought except for the last shot in exhibition, they played about as good as they could have.

    Absolutely hosed by referees! MU with a good look to go up 3 at the end of OT...McNeal with one of his few misses. Great shot by Lopez. Wow they are exciting to watch! It sucks that this has to be the end. Hopefully everyone comes back next year.

    Awesome job by UW's guards! I didn't think Hughes had that kind of offense in him. K-state can't shoot at all. Typical win by Bucky. Play solid defense, win a free throw shooting contest in the second half. Sweet 16!
  4. Blazer25
    Have to keep forcing K-state to shoot 3's. So far we're doing a good job this half.

    Actually it's around 2.0 seconds for the average catcher. Pudge used to be in the 1.70 range, Vinny is not.

    Thank God for Flowers or this game might have been a blowout. K-state is making the Badger bigs look like a bunch of unathletic stiffs. Beasly is a beast. Hopefully the hot Badger shooting keeps up because if it doesn't the 15+ point advantage in the paint might hurt.

    I would love to be in also. Thanks Pedro!

    Keep in mind that Nedly quit dipping (tobacco) about a year and change ago. My guess is that he simply replaced his nicotine addiction with caffeine.

    Colby, GCL teams typically play all of their games on "practice fields" at the spring training complex. They typically use the field that the big leaguers would work-out on during ST. I think it's a rareity that rookie GCL teams ever play in a "stadium". It's really baseball at its most base level. It almost feels like you're watching a scrimmage. Logan, Although not impossible, the fact that there are already 2 teams that use Ft Myers as a home base (Twins and Red Sox) would seem to indicate Milwaukee going elsewhere.

    Brett Favre is leaving... I'm at a loss. I'm bugged, saddened, and shocked. I am most bugged because the people of WI will not be able to give Brett a proper send off. It feels like being left at the alter.

    Nope. I don't think it will affect his movement at all. I do think it might make it easier for hitters to see the ball, making him less deceptive though.
  12. Blazer25
    Nope. I'm more of "a man" because I eat venison, duck, pheasant and wild turkey. Sometimes I think I live in a different world than most of you. To each his own I guess. Just keep your hands off my meat. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Not to nit pick too much but the "ugly" part of his delivery really is just his front leg. There's not too much danger, in that his arm works pretty well and there's not a lot of effort to his delivery. It's herky-jerky no doubt, but the jerkyness comes from his lower half and really just causes him to lose some velocity. The fact that his ball is so live and that his delivery disrupts timing, more than makes up for the fact that his FB has only been in the 90-92 range. It's really hard to see the ball comming out of all those moving parts and nobody really took good swings against him. Not to mention he really has plus sink...the ball disappears at the plate. I was actually right behind homeplate when that video was shot and Tonkin was about as filthy as anyone that day. FYI, the movement is not such much related to his delivery as his huge hands and good downward plane on his release. For a guy who has a "stressful" and potentially dangerous delivery check out how deep Palazzone's arm and how much stress there is on his shoulder and elbow as he starts forward. That's a very deep arm-swing and the arm drags along more than acts as lever of the torso. He's actually already had some elbow issues at a young age as I recall. Again, Palazzone has filthy stuff and can really pitch but there might be a concern for some scouts that he'll break down.

    Very cool. Two of my favorite guys in the 2008 class Skipworth and Tonkin. The scouting report doesn't do Tonkin's FB the justice it deserves. He's got a Derek Lowe type sinker. It's potentially that good.

    We suddenly have the "all ripped" team with two of the best physiques in baseball in Branyan and Gabe Kapler. Maybe Melvin and Mark A are planning a "beefcake" calendar giveaway for the ladies

    Fair enough. I will not comment on the topic further and you can consider my previous comments retracted. I will just say that TLB's statements here: Are the primary reasons which prevent me from sharing all that I may or may not know. I have no interest in ruining anyone professionally and sometimes I have to walk a fine line between being a participant in a fan site such as this and having some inside information or perspective. Hope you understand.
  17. Blazer25
    You're right. I take it back.
  18. Blazer25
    Shhh...there's already too many people in Long Wong's before the games. And parking around there is getting harder and harder. Don't let the secret out any more.

    Retraction...

    Benjamin Breckinridge (B.B.) Warfield?
  22. Blazer25
    DING! You hit it right on the head TLB. Sheets CU is not terrible, he just doesn't have the feel/ confidence in it to use it more than a "show-me" pitch. That is he'll show it once in a while just to keep hitters guessing. You rarely see him throw it when he needs to throw a strike/ get an out.
  23. Blazer25
    I believe you. Like I said, some of the cities have more recent pictures. Some do not. I checked out my parents house in Waukesha and the pictures were taken before their street was re-paved (which was 2005). I think the more rural you go the older the pics generally are. It's still really cool though.
  24. Blazer25
    No chance on catching people coming out of places. The pictures are not real-time images. If you Google map Wisconsin right now what do you notice? No snow. The aerial and street level photos are a database taken by the USGS and other aerial photo gathering places. In some rural cases the images are 10+ years old. It is super cool though.

    Chuckie, How bout just walking out the door and saying no thanks? That's what I would have done. You can't be in a hurry to buy a car. Even if you are actually IN a hurry. That's why they try and keep you there so long. They try and get to to finally say "OK" to whatever their horrible price is. That's what 95% of that going to talk to the manager BS is about. The more of your time they waste, the more likely you are to get fed up and pull the trigger on a bad price. You have to be very willing to walk out. Usually the sales guy will be calling you on your cell phone on the way home to offer you the price you asked (as long as you're within reason).
