A far cry from that happening but I'll take every mph I can get.

Do the Gnats have any more games?
I wonder if anyone else in the league throws heat like you can.
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
Oh no. We’re done for the year. There’s probably 4-6 guys that throw harder than I do.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
There’s some talent in the league for sure. I think i led in HR’s last season. There’s a kid that might get drafted next summer and a guy that has been in and out of Indy ball.

So this around the level of A-Ball?
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
No not even close. There’s a very broad spectrum of competition. The best teams could compete with good college teams and the bottom couldn’t beat an average high school team. There’s a small percentage that can compete reasonably at the pro level.

I tried to read the names and make due. I think that I correctly interpreted Vander Meer as one of the pitchers, but I really question your putting in The Dalai Lama at shortstop. At his age he should be the DH.

The Royals lost catcher Darren Daulton for 5 days with concussion like symptoms after taking a foul ball off the mask. Manager Gene Mauch has called up Gilly Campbell.
Amish Assassins OF Reggie Jackson was suspended for 5 games after he was HBP and escalated a bench clearing incident. Tommy Lasorda has called up Ken Griffey Sr.
@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
Winningest manager without a pennant or WS; hopefully Mauch can get his club turned around. Maybe the Campbell call-up is the catalyst.
