BUT BRANDON, CAN'T YOU SEE HOW I LOVED YOU

This is how I feel when I scout a sleeper in fantasy baseball and he gets taken one pick before me. :o

Brandon

you should take all of your State of the Art Fanposts and turn them into Stories so we can easily find them.

Glad its official Brandon

You’ve been a big part of this blog for a while, and I’m glad Eric was able to keep you away from the other blogs trying to steal you.

There is a Twitter account called @Giants_Dodgers that is simply a bot that retweets news of the rivalry.

I am not a fan of the order of the team names.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2010 8:18 AM PDT reply actions

Broxton

I am a huge fan of Broxton, but it appears he is using his slider less. Can someone verify this for me? Back in the day his slider away was deadly…now it just feels like he is trying to blow the fastball past guys and he is overthrowing it.

MTSI discusses that in the latest article.

They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.

WOW. TIRED.

I need a fraction, preferably in sevenths, to properly gauge.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2010 8:25 AM PDT up reply actions

Thanks. That pretty much sums up the one area of frustration I have with Broxton right now. I wish he would mix his pitches more.

by robotmadeofnails on Jul 19, 2010 8:28 AM PDT up reply actions

I've felt that way for a good long while

During the playoff last year when he was just pumping out 99 mph fastballs I kept thinking someone was just going to sit on one and crush it.

Your idea of God is silly. Your lack of faith is silly. Xenu is too silly.

by nolander on Jul 19, 2010 9:15 AM PDT up reply actions

i wish he had a change-up

I remember hearing a while back about him working on a splitter. Wonder what happended to that?

by Tommy Blackjack on Jul 19, 2010 9:17 AM PDT up reply actions

you cant sit on a 99 mph fastball

Congrats Brandon!

Look forward to your continued good work

Grats Brandon!!

I’ve been enjoying the minor league series so far. :)

Welcome

Now I will read your posts. I am a front page snob.

by delias man on Jul 19, 2010 8:45 AM PDT reply actions

Ha!

by Eric Stephen on Jul 19, 2010 8:46 AM PDT up reply actions

Which is why I have to put stuff like this on the front page

This is why we have fanposts.

Congrats

Brandon has been very helpful to me with some minor league information I’ve asked for.

Congrats man!

by Dodgerblue8188 on Jul 19, 2010 2:32 PM PDT reply actions

Thanks everyone for the kind words...

and sorry I haven’t been around today, but I actually just started a new job today so I haven’t really had access to a computer until now…I’ll have the next part of the minor league position series posted later tonight

brandon lennox???? who is that

we want cool guy

by matthewmafa on Jul 19, 2010 10:18 PM PDT reply actions

Congrats Brandon!

And congrats to TBLA for snatching up yet another good writer for the site!! Before TBLA I used to search randomly through our minor league stats sheets, trying to find our next Dodger hero. Its really hard to do, and hard to make assumptions on players, by looking at pure stats, and not watching them play. This has taken alot of the guess work out for me, and its great to have some insight, from people that have seen these guys play. I truly apreciate your work Brandon, as well as all the other writers here at TBLA. Keep it up guys!!!

by darrelld on Jul 21, 2010 8:04 AM PDT reply actions

congrats, Brandon, looking forward to reading your stuff :)
