I has hoping more than a 4-0 from Harper, but at least he didn't disappoint in BP and also his throw IP was amazing

Glad to see my countrymen Sebastian Valle had a RBI double to tie the game.

Just got back from the game and it was awesome!!!

A few guys really stood out to me. I haven't read the entire thread yet, but I'm sure it has already been mentioned...

Matt Moore is flat out filthy. Kid was hitting 98-99-100 then dropping a change in at 86-87 that was unhittable...

Cosart looked great too...

My favorite part of the game was when Kipnis hit the HR and when rounding the bases the fans chanted A - S - U, A - S - U, then when he got to home plate he threw up the pitchfork and we all freaked out...

Grant Green's double was HAMMERED. That line drive off the left center wall was probably the hardest hit all night...

I was wicked lucky and a buddy called me with free tix today ROW 6 behind the 1st base on deck circle... I didn't get any autos because I showed up after BP and then nobody was really signing before the celebrity game (I really wanted a Rickey Henderson auto).

Yeah, that sucked, but fortunately I did pretty good before the Futures Game

Heck, I could do a better job in this.

Yeah, but would you be as creepy on the air as you are on here?

"And up to the plate is Machado. Machado actually only lives three miles from here in Apartment 3B at Villas on Apache. A .322 hitter, Machado also likes roast beef, which I observed him eating three times in the past week."

I posted that hoping you would see it.

You didn't disappoint. Excellent response, sir

Oh, and for the record, Manny lives in 3A.

I'm glad I didn't stick around for the celebrity game. I got to the Futures Game way too late and didn't get any autos. It doesn't surprise me because I never have luck at Chase.

And those guys all score almost as many runs as him. They are much more complete hitters. For me, I would rather have a complet hitter.I would take Piazza over Ichiro any day of the week. Especially if you consider the toll that catching has on productivity at the plate. Again, just my opinion. I realize this isnt a very popular opinion but I think Ichiro is overrated.

They scored nearly as many runs as him a few times, not many. Yes Piazza was a catcher, but a TERRIBLE defender. Ichiro has one of the best arms in right I've seen.[/quoteThis discussion has nothing to do with how well they play defense.

I was on the us side for the game but cleaned up on all the futures at their hotel. It was kinda hard getting autos at the game
