Wait a minute...
Are the Royals holding Spring Training on a football field? Have they been doing this all along? Explains a lot…

Good birthday for me
Got my permit, got to drive on a road, Royals are back, and got my first Varsity win on the mound earlier today!

For my birthday, I'm hoping for another Cactus League title.

Unstoppable, Cactus Style!
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Pitcher wins are meaningless.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

Listen to Crash, though

Just don't throw a slider
It will F your arm up.
If you’ve got a serviceable change, you’ll dominate.

I'm very good with my arm as is my coach (played up to AA but blew out his arm)
My change can be pretty good sometimes, but at this point the teams were playing before districts are late on the fastball so the change isn’t necessary

What do you hit with the heater?

As a freshman who just turned 15 and approaching 6"4 (call it 6"3 1/2)
I hit 77/78 in my first 3 or 4 innings and it started to fall back into 75 as the game went on. But I only threw 63 pitches in 5 innings so by no means am I overpowering.

Holy sh*t! Barely 15 and you’re over 6’3"? That’s a projectable body that can add a lot of velocity. If you were in the Dominican Republic right now, you’d be about a year away from a six figure signing bonus.

I still need to fill out (as you can see in my picture)
But yeah I really look forward to playing the rest of my high school career, and hopefully college somwhere

F**k college! When you get drafted, take the signing bonus and go to the minors.

I'll be the Royals 53 rd pick

Most likely negative 12
Considering I didn’t pick off 4 times a batter

Crow throwing with the relievers.
Interesting.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
Rock Chalk Talk
I don't know if that's just relievers
Isn’t that Sanchez in mid-pitch?

I just saw Soria and Broxton for sure.
Assumed it was Collins, could be wrong though.

I don’t know who it is, but he looks a little long to be Collins. It looks to me like if he stood up, he’d be almost as tall as Broxton (behind him). And Broxton is 6’4", while Sanchez is 6’2". Collins is 5’7" and would look like an elf around those guys.

by Scott McKinney on Feb 22, 2012 4:49 PM EST up reply actions
That was my thought
If it was Collins his head would only be at that level if he were standing straight up on the mound prior to going into his motion.

In any event
somebody needs to Zapruder Film this thing because we must know for certain. If Crow really is in a random throwing session with just relievers on one of the first days of ST, then he clearly has already been ruled out for a spot in the rotation.
