Blake Parker

Maybe we could trade a guy like Morin for another clean peanut?

[totdprods]

I'd rather keep Morin as SLC depth for now. Been awhile since we had someone at least possibly reliable ready to shuttle back and forth from AAA. Last year AJ Achter was that guy. 

Morin also seems like the type of guy who could be thrown in on a midseason trade with someone like Escobar to help seal a better return. Someone who could help a team in the stretch run due to their league/division not being as familiar.

Blake Parker is the best thing since Shaquille O'Neil starting acting in the General insurance commercials.

Struck out the side, AGAIN! 

21 K's in 11 1/3 innings now with a .70 ERA. 

Sick! 

The guy throws 93-94 MPH, has a sick curveball and devastating splitter. 

[Docwaukee]

R U serious?  15 batters.  14 strikeouts.  

[Angel Oracle]

Very clean peanut

[Torridd]

Thanks.

Parker and Bedrosian have been unhittable.

Bailey, Parker and Bedrock 7-9 innings. Look out! 

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe start out Parker in the 7th, as Bailey has the experience and pitched well in September as the closer.   Then if he continues this over the first month, exchange he and Bailey. 

[Docwaukee]

I'm worried the most about bailey.  I have no reason to think he's going to be any worse or better than Parker.  Just a hunch.  Would love to be wrong.  

[Dave Saltzer]

I'm watching the game right now with a bunch of scouts, and we're all looking up the records for most consecutive strikeouts in baseball for starters and relievers. They all say they'd find a way to get him on the roster. 

[Dreams]

Dude just struck out the side in the ninth.  I think we just found our future closer.

[Docwaukee]

now it's just weird.  

[arch stanton]

Seriously. What the hell is this guy throwing?

[tdawg87]

He's gonna give up 3 runs in his first appearance.

Ha! 

[bloodbrother]

This dude's spring has been bizarre. He's definitely making the team at this point....just hope that this is actually legit and he ends up becoming a pretty significant surprise to this pen.

[Chuck]

Damn! 

 

[Docwaukee]

I've always had this conspiracy thought that a few other teams could get together and decide that they want to make a player from another team look good during the spring so he'd make the roster.  And then they would tee off on him during the regular season.  

Anyway, they showed Parker's split in slow mo last night and the thing just tumbled off the table.  That pitch is just filthy.  It looks very similar to his fastball coming out of his hand.  The one thing that's gonna happen is the same thing that happens to Shoe once in awhile where guys will guess right on the fastball and if it's not located properly, it will get hammered.

Same can be said for all the great pitchers and aces out there, Doc. 

He's got a solid fastball (93-94 MPH) that he locates well to go along with a fantastic curve & splitter. 

Parker needs to buy whoever taught him to throw that splitter a beer.

Fixed.

I thought Tony Phillips was an infielder?
