Borderline 5* CB Gabriel Osborne added to OV weekend of 6/19, the last OV spot.

Certainly not as learned as most, but would seem to be easier to go up a level, than go down a weight class. Even in a weight class, this is the time of life when a body grows, gains size/weight etc naturally. Certainly as one does weight training, pounds are added, and if memory serves, adding a pound of muscle requires losing, what, eight pounds of fat? Am sure others have better numbs, but can only lose so many pounds of fat, no?

It definitely is easier to go up and wrestling closer to your natural weight is trending in a good way. Unfortunately sometimes the cut is necessary when roster openings dictate it. I had to cut a lot until my senior year because I had a roster of future All Americans to beat out for a starting spot. But my senior year I wrestled 152 and was destroying kids because of all the energy and strength I had.

It's Phily, you know what you're going to get...I was actually pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a lot worse than it was in the coverage I saw. I thought the crowd was actually much more well-behaved than the nicest weekend crowd at that mess of a tournament in Phoenix every year. Rory usually lets a lot of crap go, so if he felt the need to clap back, it was probably egregious. But there wasn't nearly as much of that as I was afraid there might be.

I actually don’t think it was objectively egregious as it wasn’t obscene or personal or done pre- or during Rory’s swing, but it was right after Rory lost any shot at winning so it was a bit classless. At another time, I’m sure Rory would have ignored him per usual, but he caught him at a moment of peak frustration. The Waste Management crowd lives up to the name of the tournament, and somehow it’s become their signature there kind of like Bills fans jumping through tables in terms of idiotic douchiness.

Lemon jello???

The kids are starting to show their stuff. Heck, Bazzana is up to .290 for his batting average and I think he started like 0 for 12.

I didn't realize he was so fast and a demon on the base paths. The lineup is actually balanced and can set the table (also love that they moved JRam up to the 2 hole....if Kwan and Rocchio keep doing what they're doing, watch out).

Also saw Ralphy Velazquez made it to Columbus at 20 years old. Boy, he could be the 40 HR bat we need in the lineup. Clippers lineup is so insanely loaded with Watson, Ralphy, Ingle, Huff, Kayfus, etc...probably the most encouraging the current and future offensive production has looked in a looong, long time.

With Armstrong and Walters set to get back to the pen, this team can somehow get a nice division lead early....didn't see that coming but I say that every year it seems.
