They also said Crow is making a strong showing to be the 5th starter out of camp
He has been playing solidly and is looking good. That would be pretty impressive.
(dont remember if this was 610 or 810)
I really hope they don't. There is no way he is ready.
A ML season is so long, there is just no way after being off for basically two years that he is ready to be a major league pitcher for the long haul and I just fear he would get hurt trying. I’d much rather see him start in AA or AAA and then ease into it. We have plenty of example on this team of guys being brought to the majors because their “stuff” is ready but their minds or bodies cannot handle the pressure and wear and tear of playing the major leagues (Ankiel, Hochevar, perhaps Gordon).
Let him become a professional in the minors where the glare isn’t so bright and his workload can be better controlled. Especially if we’re going to be “stretching out” our starting rotation. He needs to get some time in building his body up to handle higher pitch counts back to back before we bring him up and destroy him.
I’d love to see him wearing blue at the K, but not until he’s ready to own it.
i said the same thing last year about Porcello in DET
but they seemed to monitor him well and he was strong even in his “playoff” start against the twins… so it has been done successfully recently.

4 Ex-M's In
One lineup. Excellent. 3 ex-Sox, too.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
Hochevar threw, but
does anyone have any idea how well he threw in the B game on Monday? I haven’t heard anything yet.
From the Royals official website
“Hoch was pretty good,” manager Trey Hillman said. “On purpose, he wasn’t throwing any sliders or two-seamers today. He wanted to work on fastball command, rotation of the curveball and his changeup.”
Hochevar gave up one run, two hits and a walk in 2 2/3 innings in his first outing since an intrasquad game. John Parrish, a left-hander, had two scoreless innings, and Matt Herges and Bruce Chen, another lefty, had one each.
Thanks.
Didn’t even see that article.

KU Is Really

I hate this lineup
And I imagine it will be the opening day lineup except Getz for Bloomy.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Kendall Batting Second

The Sound You
Just heard was KU’s team pulling their collective head out.

I swear
it sounded like the stadium announcer in Surprise almost announced the second batter as Jason LaRue rather than Jason Kendall…
okay I just suck. Hope you can copy and paste because apparently these computers are too fangled for me.

Winter; -19F yesterday morning, -10F this morning. At least the snow is dry. I have to run my snow blower before I go back to work tomorrow, so that means this afternoon. I’ve been procrastinating my ass off.

Well if nothing else that should help with that cabin fever.
I’d rather have cabin fever than that cold though, but that’s probably why I would suck at living in Alaska.

Works again. It get high enough in the sky to warm it up when it’s clear. It’s almost 20F now. It hit 28 yesterday.
