vs. Twins 8/23

[MDtransplant757]

I think Caleb should be our catcher next year. He just is better at this point than Matt, and we win more with him behind the plate.

I think he'll likely be added to the major league bullpen in September. He's not a starting pitcher anymore.

Better option than TJ? Come September.

[Ori-Al]

That was much better.

We're going to a drillers game while we are there. I would live to go to St. louis, but that's 6 hours away. Where in OK are you from?

Oklahoma City - Actually a suburb Del City. I was born in El Reno about 40 minutes west of Okla. City

Huh. That's interesting. Did you go to OU, and how did you end up in Maryland?

They keep expecting Schoop not to find the hole on that pitch.

I think they are underestimating him a bit after last year.

They shouldn't. He gets it there quite a bit, and then everyone looks him and goes, "How did he do that?"

Yes, graduating from OU in 1988. There was a recession in Oklahoma during that time and my wife and I had trouble finding employment. She was raised here in Rockville and so her dad got us jobs with the Fed Gvt

I'd play it as the series goes on. If he hits in in the hole a bit. Don't leave said hole open.

I had forgotten he had a four hit game last year.

Hehe. Rockville. So what did you do in OK, and I feel bad for you. I'd lose my mind working for the Feds.

Me to. I keep expecting him to revert back to last years batting avg. I am happy that I was wrong.

After the home run they finally started throwing the regular changeup more. Almost 30% changeup and splitter today. It makes a huge difference in how well the hitters react to the fastball.

I can't remember who, 3, 4 innings ago, he made a Twin look ridiculous on the change. "The Vulcan Change." Split-change. RH hitter.

Im not sure I understand the question. I grew up. Went to OU then came out here for a job.
