Thread title sounds like a porn version of a Discovery show. I love it.

I really hope This year is not a lost oppurtunity for BJ. There were a couple of times I was hoping to see him. If they know they have something with him they can move on from Buch.
There is no pitching this offseason and I think Buch will land on his feet in the NL.

After the loss yesterday, Groome pitching in a big game today as the Sox and Twins are tied for first in their GCL division. Good to get that big game experience for Groome

Do I even need to mention what must be leading every sports broadcast in the nation right now? Mauricio Dubon, now at .946 OPS as a 22 year-old shortstop in AA ... better OPS than the Sea Dogs' third baseman, whatever his name is.

2IP 5K 2H 1ER for Groome so far. Gave up first professional earned run via stolen home? Kinda funny that my only critique of the video from the first game was that he looks like he has a very long stretch motion. And today he gives up 4 stolen bases in two innings. He also had a throwing error. He's exactly like Jon Lester so far. |

Requena has a ton of GB outs every time I look at the box score. I couldn't know less about him but that's something that has caught my attention

Wife, son and myself made the trip to Ft Myers early yesterday mostly for the purpose of catching Groome's start today. Talked to him yesterday and asked to see if he was pretty sure was still getting the start today and he said yes, so we stayed for sure.
He sat 92-3 and touched 94 according to the Sox ppl I asked shooting the game. it was played on a minor league field and not the Main field this time at Fenway South.
Changeup seems to need a tad of work. Slows body and arm down on, tho he did record an out with one in the 2nd. Curve looked pretty sharp, tho he threw mainly fastballs today.

Chatham who was off to a dismal start has raised his average 30 points and hit 3 HRs in the last 2 games.
Who knows, maybe the thumb was bothering him.

I saw Chatham play a couple times this summer. I don't think he is going to stick at SS as he has limited range and an average arm. He is going to have hit for more power in order to play 3B.

Not my best work but Jason threw 45 pitches, here they all are in sequencing with his warmups. His fastball was 89-93 averaging 92, his curveball was 78-80 mph and the threw off a couple of sharp ones while his changeup sat at 78-81.
BTW, Jason wanted Kanye West's "Amazing" for the video but I had to throw an audible since Kanye doesn't allow any of his music up.

He sure hinted as much when first drafted and was in that pretty large "0-fer". Wife and I kept on cheering for him to get that 1st hit, we stopped him on the way to the bus after a game at Sarasota think it was and he pointed to the thumb. It was pretty obvious he was implying was impairing the swing IMO. |
