DVR / VCR Alert: Futures Game -- Sunday 1:00 PM, ESPN2

[Hammer]

Speed, speed, speed. These young kids are fun to watch!!

[GB12]

I think this kind of is its own game thread.

Escobar scores the go-ahead run.

 

MVP?

[GB12]

And Escobar gets the go ahead run.

 

Game MVP perhaps?

They just showed Rickie Weeks in the stands watching his brother Jemile play.

I caught that too. Not surprisingly, none of the ESPN broadcasters did -- even right as they were speculating about Rickie & his likelihood to return from the injury (of course also no mention of the successful rehab from the exact same injury on his other wrist)

I'm guessing you saw him the second time. They mentioned it the first time they showed Rickie

Derrrrrrrrr... thanks GB12. I always just assume the worst with esspin.

Lots of great young talent in this game. Has been a real pleasure to watch. You guys are right, the speed is obvious!

[TooLiveBrew]

Well now they just called him "Richie Weeks"... grrrrr

Well, he was just referred to as "Richie", so...

 

Honestly, is it that hard?

Tolisano wins the Larry Doby MVP award for the game

Typical ASG type stuff, winning RBI gets the MVP. Escobar played well, he should have been in the discussion.

[TooLiveBrew]

Agreed, but to be fair is a pair of IF hits really *that* impressive?

[GB12]

Well now they just called him "Richie Weeks"... grrrrr

 

I thought they said Richard. Although I'm pretty sure it's just Rickie, so they'd still be wrong.
