WOW. Six outs. The breeze you felt was not the latest lousy weather. It was the Rays’ bats whiffing.

Let’s see how long we have to wait. The year the Roy Halladay was 23, for example, he made 19 appearances for the Blue Jays (13 starts) and threw to a 10.64 ERA with a 2.20 ratio. He walked 42 in 67 2/3 innings and opponents hit .357 against him. In this article linked below, Joe Sheehan suggests it’s the worst season in baseball history for a pitcher who threw at least 50 innings.

Pray God he is everything he wants to be and we need him to be. Frankly, Dom Brown be danged. He is not ready. At his age, that means to me tha the is not as good as advertised. he is a disappointment.

I don’t know whether it’s right or left, but I think Brown will start at one of the corner OF positions for the Phils in 2012. Unless he has a miserable 2011 where he doesn’t hit anywhere. If he doesn’t hit in the majors I still think he starts there in 2012. If he spends most of the year in the minors and doesn’t hit there, then I think the Phils would look elsewhere for 2012. That doesn’t seem really like, though, given what he did last year.

Better than fine. I just don’t feel sure it’s going to be in 2011 or even 2012.

Swinging at 7 ft high may work in the minors, but major league pitching will eat him up.
