Future's Game Gameday Thread, bitches

PrintIt's on live right now on MLB.TV, plus some American TV channel I don't care about.
The Giants are represented by Zack Wheeler and Francisco Peguerro. Last year it was Madison Bumgarner and Angel Villalona; in 2008 it was Angel Villalona, Pablo Sandoval, Kevin Pucetas, and Nate Schierholtz; in 2007 it was Henry Sosa and Brian Bocock.
Hitler to watch: Francisco Peguero.
Pitcher to watch: Zack Wheeler.
Prediction: Francisco Peguero and Zack Wheeler will do awesome things.
Wait, Brian Bocock?

I don't get the joke.
Actually, I see two of them but I don’t know which one you are talking about.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
Every series preview, people say they read “hitter to watch” as “hitler to watch”.

I think the world manager got confused
Carlos Peguero is a terrible fielder and is playing LF, while Francisco Peguero is DHing.
Also these announcers are terrible, I mean there is no one named “Gorsky” Hernandez.
Lastly, Mike Moustakas of the Royals looks very good.

he didn't look great
in fairness, Britton looked pretty okay
Alonso looks like a platoon player right now
Also he’s blocked by Votto, so apparently the Reds are trying him in LF.

yep
I thought it was a slider, announcers called it a change, gameday called it a two-seamer. whatever it was, it wasn’t good
That’s what I thought, too.
If it’s a change, he needs to take a lot off of it. That’s only 6 mph slower than some of his heaters.

6 is fine if it doesn't hang
but that one just floated through there like a softball
That’s not too uncommon for guys who throw this hard, I think. Felix Hernandez has change up around 89, Strasburg around 91.
I was promised lasagna.
I liked the fastball fine, but let's not go too far
I do not like it as much as those two names
it's heavy, but not as heavy as that
I do like the fastball, mind you

Dominic Brown = Buster Posey at the beginning of the year. He should be in the big leagues, but there is an aging veteran playing in his spot and his manager doesn’t want to bench the veteran player.
