The remarkable season of Bryce Harper and notes from around the day in the minors.
The Royals called up slugger Eric Hosmer last week, but after lauding the move early on, could a certain prospect guru be changing his mind?
And another Jason and Kevin gabfest is here. Why do we love email so much? Because we’d never come up with the idea to talk about Jason Neighborgall on our own, but here we are. After all the fun correspondence, we get down to business and talk about all of the big name prospects who reached the big leagues last week and then get in an argument about whether the Royals did the right thing by calling up Eric Hosmer in early May. Our special guest is Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle, who talks about the not-so-happy state of baseball in Houston, and then we do the goofy stuff. As always, we hope you enjoy.

Another week, another two-plus hours of Jason Parks and myself rambling. It’s a pitching heavy podcast as we take emails on mechanics, tipping and velocity, before getting into a longer discussion about what makes a good fastball (it’s not just velocity). The it’s our much anticipated listener of the week, Kent The FBI guy. Forty-five minutes later we’re still not quite sure what he does, but it certainly was interesting. Due to popular demand, Not Jim Tracy returns to break down the first month of the 2011 season, and then it’s the goofy stuff with Portal 2 talk and more adventures on the stage. As always, we hope you enjoy.
