Doesn't matter how easy it is, I'd still need you, doc, and scotty to dumb it down for the rest of us.

As far as prospects go, I am the dumbed down version of IP, Doc, and Scotty.

Nice to see Maitan go deep.  Hopefully that happens a little more as the weather warms.  He has the sort of all-field power that tends to play well in the Midwest League, but that will require some adjustments.  Also good to see the Bees get Thaiss in at 3B and Walsh in at 1B.  I hope to see that happen more often, even in Anaheim.

Never heard that before.   I remember in my biology class they classified California as chaparral.   However I took that class during ancient times.

If only you knew someone who teaches history and geography . . .

Funny I double majored in history and have an advance degree in political science.  

Not sure what you meant by your comment.

In order to complete the 'org loss', the SLC Bees gave up 4 in the bottom of the ninth.  Matt Ramsey isn't very good.  Big club, Mobile, Burlington, IE all lost as well.

I think Tanker is saying thats what he teaches.

Or, maybe when you mentioned chapparel he remembered his lunch.

they are definitely having them work on something specific.  

Same thing is going on with Marsh.  at looking of 15.5% and swinging of 14.6% and a GB rate of 60.0%.  

weird.

There seems to be something happening on the pitching side -- check out all the guys seeing a jump in GB rates...    There are things happening we aren't privy to, things that will end up paying off for the organization.

This is the sort of system wide stuff I had been wanting to see the Angels employ.   It's nice to see it happening.

Ill poke around and see what I can find out.

But I think its safe to say the Org philosophy has changed big time. Not sure exactly what it is. But the message in the minors for a few decades has shifted...

i wish. 

there was a show on in the mid/late 80s called "Our World" and it would take a particular year and showcase the major news events that happened. it was one of the best things on tv. i think it lasted maybe one year, and that was a tragedy for those who taught.

yes. in fact we're learning about the cotton gin and the slave-based southern economy right now. just talked today about the missouri compromise and the compromise of 1850. we're leading up to the civil war.

interesting point about video games. hadn't thought of that, but it may have legs (unlike my brussel sprouts and kelp salad this afternoon).

Post-grad math major

Wish she was in my college math classes, but alas I was too old for that, and wrong school.

Although one of the cutest LB State cheerleaders was in one of my math/computer classes.

Defense seems to be a struggle so far too (5 errors for an OF already). 

He is still just 19, with a solid head on his shoulders.
