Hey man, I was meaning to ask you if that there is a radar gun in the stadium down there with the GCL O's stadium. Im asking because Im curious on how hard that Butler is throwing, I didnt remember if you could see the velo readings.

"stadium" is a loose term when you talk about Twin Lakes (LOL)...yes...they are using the gun on O's pitchers...I will ask next time Tony is on the mound

For those of you who are local to the Baltimore/DC area, here is the breakdown of home games for the MiLB affiliates that are within what I would consider a reasonable driving distance. I'm not trying to steal your thunder GulfBird, it's just something I wonder about and thought other people could find helpful if they are trying to take in a game before the seasons ends(which everyone really should).
