Hopper is a very borderline defensive outfielder IMO, I don't really get where they think he is a defensive replacement.

Conine Ks swinging. 2 outs

He would have more range, but his arm and routes are pretty bad. I don't get taking Dunn out for more range in LF.

With hitting off a tee, you can brag to all your buddies about his pitch selection is exceptional. And good idea with the golf balls. I've actually used these little swedish wooden balls (that sounds really bad I know, but it is what it is) to train for hockey since I was young as you could move them so fast and it greatly assisted in my hand to eye coordination. Get your reflexes and your timing in check and the other stuff comes a lot easier.

the golf balls have really helped him, he hardly hits the tee anymore when swinging.
He can pull the ball and hit it to the opposite side. Can't figure out how to hit it up the middle yet...hell he's only 3
He wants batting gloves, but they don't make them in his size. So I gave him some old golf gloves and cut out the fingures, but he can't tighten and untighten the velcro like Casey does....he really wants to do that.

EdE swinging at garbage Ks. Our RH bats are going to have to fix this soon. Now I am starting to see a little more importance in Griffey and Dunn. At least they do not swing at garbage all the time.

Our future studs are supposed to be EdE and BP. But they are up there swinging at anything. Not good at all.

How is Freels head doing...any updates???

[redsrbetter]

Weathers gets Chavez to pop out to Ross on the first pitch in the ninth.

Lets get these last two.

[George Foster]

Dunn would not have cought that ball....1 for narron

[redsrbetter]

The range comes in to effect. Hmm...

Hopper makes the garb in foul territory. 2 outs

[redsrbetter]

How is Freels head doing...any updates???

I honestly haven't heard anything the last few days.

[redsrbetter]

Ellis gets a basehit to RF. BP just missed it.

[redsrbetter]

How is Freels head doing...any updates???

per C Trent's blog:

Good news on the Ryan Freel front -- he may take live BP vs. Bill Bray tomorrow in Dayton.

Don't walk him
