Pena," per the broadcast) loaded the bases with no outs on a single, sac bunt/error, and single; Tommy Hottovy came in, got two strikeouts and then snared a comebacker for the save in front of the very animated home crowd. I'm not sure I've ever seen him look so pumped. (Before the final out I would have described his look as more of a "I'd like to get out of here alive" expression.)

Went9, any chance you could dig that link back up? Ben Badler mentioned Flores in a 7/1/11 Baseball America post entitled "Breaking Down Top International Targets." I don't have an active BA membership but someone reproduced almost the entire post on The Mainboard here. Best Of The Rest: Pitchers ... Venezuelan righthander Junior Flores is a cousin of Red Sox lefthander Franklin Morales. He played for the Venezuelan 16-and-under team at the COPABE Pan American championship in Mexico in October and pitched briefly. Flores, who trains with Ciro Barrios, is a lanky, lean 6-foot-1 with a quick arm and an 86-89 mph fastball. His breaking ball is slurvy at times, a sharper chase pitch at others. There's looseness to his delivery with some drop and drive to it, though like many young pitchers he's still learning to repeat and throw strikes.

That was kind of the joke. scaffolds is a hack that used to post here and pretended to be a scout.

I saw them a lot in SoCal starting from the days when they were a local bar band and the place to be. I'm more into their later stuff starting with Stadium Arcadium but have a few songs here and there. I could have sworn Lars mentioned them in one of our interviews as a being a fan. I mostly recall that because of the thought when reading it that what California kid isn't. In California, there's pretty much RHCP and there's everyone else.

With the mix of players in this league, the level of play is actually higher than I originally gave it credit for. Also, Jeremias Pineda is 11/11 in stealing bases, showcasing his elite speed.

I was very disappointed to not contribute the way I wanted with my new team, especially I felt very bad about Manny Acta, manager of the team, the team had high expectations of me, but I hope, God willing, the next years to completely change things, I show that I can be an important piece to take this team to the playoffs ".
