Bryce Harper acting very much like an 18-year-old that has had his ass unduly kissed for most of his life. Classless.

I almost wish he'd done that in the Show just to see how far a baseball can fit inside the ear hole on a batting helmet.

Braun will never be mistaken for a great OF, but he has learned his limitations very well in the last three years. He's never been comfortable going back on balls, so he's learned how to judge the carom. Nice strong throw for the out on 2nd.

With the #15 pick, the Milwaukee Brewers select...

Jed Bradley, LHP, out of Georgia Tech.

I've seen his stuff compared to Andy Pettite, which would be just fine with me. An innings-eating lefty with four good pitches? Yes, please.

One other note... parents, teach your sons how to throw left-handed. Can you say "Job Security"?

So Morgan slides safely into 1st, clearly not sliding over the bag. Buck slides into Morgan, pushing him off the bag, turning the play into an out. Did the rule change when I wasn't looking?

With pick #12, the Milwaukee Brewers select...

Taylor Jungmann, from the University of Texas.

Hard thrower with the ability to hit the upper 90's. May have gone higher without elbow surgery in HS, but pitching is always a crap-shoot. With that velocity & a plus curve, I could see a three year debut.

I'd feel pretty good about the two predictions I made in early May:
1. The crew were OPSing too much not to start scoring runs & winning ballgames
2. Nyger would be the "starting" CF by June 1st

... had I not said this the other night: "Wow, our entire lineup can go yard, well, except for Morgan". Of course, he turns on the first pitch & deposits it in my mouth (which had surprisingly enough room with my foot in it).

Tough 4 week stretch coming up to the AS break... hang on for the ride!
