Agreed 100% PS: Thanks. It was so close. We hit that homer in the bottom 9th to tie it up and we actually had a fucking shot. Bottom 12th, runners on 1st and 3rd to tie it up again and a called 3rd strike to end it. Apparently, those watching the TV said it wasn't a strike. The biggest bummer was the pitching change we made. We assumed the guy we put in (a top dog) would be better than our closer. But our close was on fire and our starter was prepared to start Sunday if necessary and let that homer get hit. Oh well. Doesn't look like we'll make NCAA either. Good run. Drafts on the 5th. Cross your fingers, we're looking at round 5-8, yanks, most likely.
Definitely make a post or give us an update on draft day! As a Yankees fan I'd be stoked if they grab your brother, based on the stats I've seen when you've been posting about him on Twitter. Good luck to him with the draft.
Thanks. Yeah I'll keep you all posted, don't worry! I'm getting really excited. He'll probably play minors for a few years before you'll have a chance of seeing him on tv and he gets his yellow lambo, though.
Ah, I see that your brother is taking after Verlander with the lambo thing. Hey, if he gets drafted by the Yanks and makes it to Triple-A (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) there's a chance I'd see him! Go to their games every so often when they play in NY.
He got a lot of attention after summer ball last year due to his microscopic era. The sox made an offer and the Yankees promised to match it. He wanted to play senior year and finish college though but has stayed in contact. I don't really know how it all works but he does. He's not only a crazy good baseball player but a crazy good at math and stats and analyzing stuff. When he wants to know how stuff works he studies his ass off. He can list how the drafts turn out and signing bonuses for college senior pitchers like him for the last 20 years. Problem with being a senior is you don't have leverage. You either get drafted or get a job. As a junior you can choose which means more options. We'll take whatever we can get and I'm already so proud of him. If you had told me 6 years ago that he'd be playing d1 college ball I wouldn't have believed you. If you had told me 2 weeks ago that he'd throw a CG shutout against one of the top hitting teams during the ACC tourney, I would've laughed in your face. It's been a crazy amazing ride (and made for a much needed 6 day vacation for me!)
