He has a cannon for an arm, that's the not problem. Like others have mentioned, his footwork/body position needs improvement, vast improvement. Also, I'm sure it's in his head a little bit now.

Dhonks that comment was a good 2 minutes ahead of gameday and gamecast... hehe edit... ahh I was wondering what was up.

At this rate Soup will be lucky to make it through 6... he needs some quick GB on the first pitch innings to reign this pitch count in.

How long until Cain's slide over the fall and spring actually becomes something to worry about? If he's not hitting by mid May I think it will definately be something to worry about.

No idea why, but the first link report is as cool to me as opening day for the big club. Thanks in advance Mass for another year of feeding my minor league fetish.

Cappy's control is very spotty today, one really good pitch followed by a pitch that's way out of the zone. I didn't catch any games this spring on TV, has he pitched that way all spring?

I thought his name was something you could get behind?

I had to post something, just so you knew someone was reading... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Am I the only one who's forums never updated the times? It's been bugging for about 3 months now, I finally sat down to fix today, and I'm unable to figure out why all the posts are an hour ahead?

Super 2 just adds a year of arby, doesn't get the player closer to Free Agency sooner... unless I'm misunderstanding the FAQ.

Much better than I was hoping for.

It's one thing to intentionally mislead someone, and it's another to pass along what you're told or read. I'm sure he just didn't "pull the rumor out of the air". I guess coming from a small town in northern WI I'm more tolerant of the rumor mill, because that's really all there is to do... besides drink, make 4 wheeler/snowmobile sounds 24 hours a day, and so on. I hated it, but I understand how fast rumors perpetuate themselves in that environment. The unfortunate part of this type of communication is that people pass off opinion and rumor as fact, they always have and always will. That's simply your opinion... he debated the severity of the injury, he didn't imply anything personal about Mark, those comments were made by another poster. As far as the other poster that questioned Mark's willingness to change, well Mark himself said that his control didn't start to return until he truly bought into the program himself. I quote from this article, that was posted here previously.. mlb.mlb.com/news/article....p&c_id=mil That was simply his interpetation of those comments. I don't think Mark meant he was unwilling to change, it's more likely he wasn't seeing the results in games and didn't "have the faith". I haven't seen anything posted by anyone that wasn't previously talked about in this minor league forum in regards to Mark. However, I would think that everyone here is rooting for Mark, just like every other prospect that's been injured and hit the comeback trail. With relative lack of success the Brewers have had with flame throwing high school draftees, it's very difficult not to be in the "here we go again" camp. I wish Mark all the best and a speedy recovery.

Well after looking at the pictures and the detailed description of the procedure and doing some research on my own here tonight, It worries me that's i have a SLAP in my right shoulder... it pops out all the time when I throw right handed. The pain is mind numbing for a couple of minutes, then it's fine again. As far as Rogers is concerned, it's no wonder so few pitchers come back from that... the 2D picture really doesn't do a spherical joint justice. If that's indeed the procedure mark underwent, the percentages can't be good for a full recovery, but I'll continue to hope that one injuried prospect will end up and effective starting pitcher for the big league club. I know D'Amico came back, but he was more of a flash in the plan half a year of success type. I spent most of the evening going back through articles about protecting young pitchers, the piggy backing starters the Brewers tried and all of that. I had forgotten the excellent articles Batman had on the site here, among others I stumbled across again. Unfortunately there's no sure fire way to prevent injuries, the Brewers wouldn't intentionally try to harm Mark by having him change his mechanics. After all they have an investment in Mark, and not just financially, when you're projected to be a top of the rotation starter or closer, you're more than just a draft pick. Did they do the wrong thing by trying to protect him? Maybe, I'm unsure, I don't know that anyone really knows the answer for sure. Someone mentioned earlier that young pitchers tend to overthrow when they get in trouble, and that got me thinking, because I had always done that when I was in a tight spot. I remember some balls I threw from the mound and from left field that hurt all the way down my left side to my hip. Hell, throwing some deep routes to the receivers last year I did it a couple of times. I have no where near the arm speed as Mark, and I can only imagine what that torque would eventually do to a shoulder. It's a wonder that any MLB pitchers last longer than a couple years, it's just an unnatural motion.

She didn't say "Chronic Bursitis", but it seems to me you all are just splitting hairs. sports.mainetoday.com/loc...ogers.html Here's a link to the full story that was referenced. While his mother is certianly no medical expert, in going back through the posts I'm unsure how Prometheus inaccurately reported anything. It appears more or less that he reported only what the local newspaper reported, only to be thrown under the bus. Misinformation is a problem to be sure, but when we're all searching for any information possible, I don't see how passing on what's printed in the local paper is any more or less damning than anything else. If he would have posted a link, he would have saved himself the trouble of having to prove that he accurately reported was in print. Though I did enjoy the pictures...

sports.espn.go.com/mlb/ne...id=2745139 Looks like BoSox are serious.

Not only is the money better, but typically you can play longer. If and when I have son, if it came down football or baseball, I'd recommend baseball, and I'm a football coach.

hehe wooo, someone that hates lazy people that are "in too big of a hurry" to return shopping carts. The other thing about parking lots that bugs me is the fact that people keeping hitting my car, and just driving away. The perfect parking spot for me is as far away from the store out in the open as possible. I'll walk an extra 100 yards to save myself the frustration of another drive away, and the frustration of having to answer, "WOW, What happened to your car?"

Poor journalism. Take the current headline from the JSOnline. www.jsonline.com/watch/?w...6&id=15529 It makes it look like a policeman smelled the leak 10 hours before the explosion, only when you get all the way down to bottom paragraph, it turns out that it was Deisel Engine exhaust... Having grown up on a farm where we had both, deisel and propane don't smell anything alike. This is just sensationalism, and I fell for it. Ticks me off.

The fact that I haven't worked out in 2 months and 20 lbs of off everything when I remaxed this morning to get my program going again. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif It's so easy to be lazy.

People that run around in stores and restraunts in pajamas. When did this become acceptable?

This "everybody wins"culture... Why should kids get a trophy for giving crappy effort on a bad team? If I fail at work, I don't get a do over... Dear customer, sorry I screwed up that deal and lost you money, can we try again? Teaching our children that they will win no matter if they lose, or give poor effort, or whine and cry... it's driving me nuts.

He's pushing 40, he graduated when I was in in 7th grade...

If you live anywhere up north, good luck finding any kind of History job up here, all of the posted openings in the state except for 2 (Kimberly and Bayport) were in the southern half of the state.

Duh... That's what I get for posting right after I wake up. Thanks Mass.
