What a terrible time it must have been being a Bulls fan in the 90s.

Anyways, have the Cardinals decided how they're going to handle Molina/Kelly? I assume Matheny is going to run Yadi out there to start for 150 games.

Pretty sure getting to watch and cheer for Michael Jordan as a kid makes up for whatever the Bulls have been doing since '98.

The other ones, yea, baseball makes sense.

He will absolutely run Yadi out there for the maximum amount of games he can get out of him.

Cardinals/Bears is weird. I know a million Packers/Cubs fans, assuming that's who you cheer for.

This year, Yadi as much as possible, Kelly in AAA. after this year, who knows. They want to extend Yadi, no idea how that is gonna work with Kelly around and close to ready.

I assume Yadi for 140 games, Eric Fryer for 10 and Kelly for 10 after callups. Matheny will absolutely run Yadi into the ground. Kelly needs regular AB's and work in game that he won't get at the ML level yet.

And yes, Jordan in the 90's made everything since it worth it, but as an adult the Bulls have not been great.

Yeah that is an ugly swing, his hands are out front of his back shoulder as he strides forward instead of being further back. He looks completely messed up by the 3rd frame with his bat still pointing up as he's trying to get his elbow slotted.

We're gonna have a death on the field at some level of the minors or Majors sometime. They gotta wear those helmets.

Don't they even have cap inserts or something for the guys who don't want to wear the helmet?

Tim Tebow was a quarterback. Quarterbacks throw things. Ergo, it's logical to assume he'd be good at throwing.

Maybe it was a different time during the game. I just grabbed the 1st one I found.

He's still got a fairly weak arm and he was really slow getting the ball out of his glove to throw. But it wasn't absolutely terrible.

I wouldn't call it a 19 hopper either, it hops twice. Made it sound like he literally spiked the ball 5 feet in front of himself.

# ? Mar 10, 2017 23:45

Julio Cruz: May 19, 2006

It's certainly not the worst throw I've ever seen but the fact that he does (at best) averagely well at making basically the easiest play possible for an RF is not a good sign for the future.
