    This was a very good series vs a shit Texas team. I’m only disappointed Boyd didn’t fight bitch boy Odor.

    I think it’s a 11 game series unless FSD was wrong but I say we end up 3-8 at best.

    He was looking through posts from before the season and liked some of mine that look awful now. Dear lord was I wrong on some aspects of this team.

    Can we somehow repeat the Rod/Mario debacle from last year with some beat writers and get rid of more idiots?

    David Chadd compared Demeritte to Tori Hunter on the radio today. Said they’ve liked him for a while. Even though they passed on him in the Rule 5 twice. You can’t make this shit up.

    He's gotta be out the door as a Tigers beat guy and probably has a job out of Detroit, to feel comfortable putting another beat guy on blast.

    Or he's a drunk.

    Good. I'm afraid he's going to kill someone at some point. Throwing 100 and having no clue where it's going is dangerous as hell.

    Just looked it up and it's even wors than I thought. Faedo is the only player that can even be considered a marginal prospect. Don't think I've seen anyone else appear on their Top 30 prospect list. Avila is bad at his job.

    1 (18) -- Alex Faedo, RHP, Florida

    2 (57) -- Reynaldo Rivera, OF, Chipola College

    3 (95) -- Joey Morgan, C, Washington

    4 (125) -- Gio Arriera, RHP, Palm Beach CC

    5 (155) -- Sam McMillan, C, Suwannee HS (Live Oak, Fla.)

    6 (185) -- Dane Myers, RHP, Rice

    7 (215) -- Brad Bass, RHP, Notre Dame

    8 (245) -- Max Green, LHP, Pepperdine

    9 (275) -- Luke Burch, CF, Kent State

    10 (305) -- Garrett McCain, CF, Oklahoma State

    11 -- Garett King, RHP, California Baptist

    12 -- Will Vest, RHP, Stephen F. Austin

    13 -- Cole Peterson, SS, St. Bonaventure

    14 -- Antoine Mistico, CF, Chandler (Ariz.) HS

    15 -- Teddy Hoffman, RF, Texas State

    16 -- Carson Lance, RHP, Lamar

    17 -- Billy Lescher, RHP, Penn

    18 -- Dylan Rosa, LF, Kent State

    19 -- Ryan Karstetter, 3B, State College of Florida - Manatee

    20 -- Dylan Burdeaux, 1B, Southern Mississippi

    21 -- Jordan Pearce, 3B, Nevada - Reno

    22 -- Colby Bortles, 3B, Mississippi

    Jeff Criswell (35th) round will likely be re-drafted in first couple of rounds next year. But other than that, they all suck ass.

    Alright guys I will be posting updates throughout the rest of the season. We need to go 9-41 to have the worst record in franchise history.

    In our last 50 games we are 9-41. So it’s definitely possible.

    I'm really interested to read the prospect reports before next season about Skubal. The numbers are insane. He's got 56 Ks right now in 26 AA innings. That doesn't even seem possible. But he throws the FB so much that I wonder how good his breaking balls really are. There's got to be something special about his fastball that lets him dominate like this right now.

    What does his FB top out at? He must have some secondary pitches if he’s getting all these strikeouts.

    I think he's generally in the 93-95 range, and maybe touches a bit higher. Seems like he's got a slider and a curveball that are both useful, but he allegedly throws around 70% fastballs. There aren't a ton of starting pitchers having huge success doing that right now, and I'm curious if there's just something about his fastball that plays up to allow him to do that.
