Will try to figure out how to post the video from my phone. I was very impressed With Cole Wilcox. Big big boy. 6’5” 230 very well built. Sat 95/96 through 5 and hit 98 a few times. Only saw 94 a few times. Curve ball 86-88. Great command.

Just got to Athens to watch my old squad (UR) Play my wife’s alma mater (UGA). Fun weekend for kids. We missed the spiders knocking Hancock around last night. Excited to get a good look at Cole Wilcox. Will try to get some video.

That’s what I was thinking as well, soccer is easy. At least soccer looks easy. You just have to have unbelievable stamina. I’m pretty sure there’s more to it than that, but it’s hard to see. On the other hand, Money sure does stimulate interest.
US soccer is terrible because the best athletes play basketball and football. If Lebron James was a center back and (name a fast running back) was attacking forward we would never loose the World Cup.
Any player in USA who plays soccer and is good goes to Europe at a young age. Thing is, those kids arent the elite American athletes.

The NBA is seeing more European participation, does the MLB have any scouts or investigators in Europe? Baseball is not very big over there, but if you can throw 95, run, have quick reflexes, And you’re 16, I bet major-league baseball would be happy to take a look at you.
I played baseball in Europe. You don’t see 95. You don’t often see 90. The best players on euro squads are the 3 international slots they allow which are typically taken by Dominicans, Cubans, and Venezuelans.

This actually might be the biggest black eye baseball has had since the Black Sox scandal. It’s really tarnished the game.
It’s the first time I can remember the national media talking about baseball in January.

Sitting 96-97?! If so, that would be amazing. He usually sits 91-93, no? Anyone else see the game on Friday? Cuz if he can sit even 94-95, gotta think the ceiling is higher than a #3...
Every time I looked at the radar after a FB it said 96/97. I don't remember seeing many 95's and don't think I saw any 94's, but let's be honest I probably looked over at the radar reading 15-20 pitches or so. My guess is gun was a little hot, but man did he make the glove explode. We watched the first two innings behind visiting dugout, the kids came back after striking out shaking their heads and laughing. We walked out to the deck that goes behind the fence at shorebirds stadium and the sound the glove was making on FBs was unreal. I was most impressed by his curveball, it was missing bats by wide margin. I don't recall seeing many change-ups. It was very impressive. He is a big boy

When Will the 2020 MLB Season Begin? (Poll)
in Orioles Talk
Posted
I would be astonished, completely astonished if there is a season this year.
Frankly, I think teams are going to really struggle to stay afloat. No revenue coming in and they are on the line for an incredible amount of owed money to players, staff, and other obligations.
