Is anybody watching this game tonight? There is an awful lot of impressive talent playing in this game, even without Mr. Bryce Harper. A few observations...

-Brandon Belt looks like a good ballplayer to me, carries himself like a veteran

-Eric Thames reminds me of Matt Lawton, If you remember him. Good lookin' little player.

-Jeremy Jeffress fired a series of 99's to Brandon Laird and struck him  out on a 101, yes 101.

- Ben Revere looked lightening-quick chasing down a Belt drive into the gap. He also plays the game with a ton of smiles and personality.

- Why didn't anybody tell me that the Cubs' Chris Carpenter had such good stuff?

- Rex Brothers, Brad Brach were also very impressive bullpen arms

- Johnny Giovatella looks like a ballplayer to me. Looks like the kind of player that everybody overlooks but, just plays himself into the big leagues.
