16 Commments

  1. How timely on Bryan Harper. I was wondering how he was doing. Hope his bro is at least sending him some nice gear…

    1. He was spending a lot of time in Viera playing golf and avoiding the crock-a-gators near the water traps. He seems pretty happy, at least according to his tweets.

  2. Hmm I don’t know Luke, given that the 10 game winning streak started when Koyie Hill took over the starting catching duties and ended when they let the better hitting Maldonado catch a game? Koyie Hill is “Crash” Davis … and possibly better.

  3. Looks like Trevor Holder and his super make-up just might pull a Moore and make it after all.

    2. It’s Holder’s third year in high A. He SHOULD be dominating. Don’t get too excited until you see what AA hitters do against him .

  4. How many 10 run games does Matt Grace need before he is pulled from the P-Nats rotation.

    1. Two? One would think that if Swynenberg can go 5+ innings on short notice, he can probably take Grace’s place.

    2. Grace must have incriminating pictures of someone. How else do you explain it? Worst pitcher I have ever seen. He actually makes Wilson Eusebio look good in comparison.

  6. Spike definitely brightened our lives in his Senior years. It’s too bad he didn’t get a chance to train his successor on all things tech.

      1. Spike seemed to be major league material…guess you’ll have to start with a rookie again.

  7. Karns beyond dominant again only run comes on strikeout wild pitch that should have been pass ball. Strikes out four in the inning and 11 overall.
