Nice sweep. Cooper looked solid in the finale.

Let's continue this against BYU tomorrow and Tuesday before a big series next weekend in Fort Worth.

Bull pen pitches 6 inns and gives up ONE earned run. Turning thing around.

Cooper was awesome today.Next weekend will be a real tough test for these young starters.going to be fun to follow these guys the next couple of years.

Yeah Cooper was dialed in and really throwing with authority. Pitched aggressive and stayed ahead in the count and was very efficient.

How about the battle for the starting shortstop position?

[t7017s]

It looked like Brown was going to get most the time until he made 2 boneheaded mistakes back to back in the second game. He missed an opportunity to advance on a passed ball and then immediately turned around and got picked off at second on a what looked like a botched stolen base attempt. Grimes came in and played pretty well. Missed a couple tough plays at short but had some rbis and looked solid at the plate. So at this point I would say that both will continue to get looks at ss.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

The score was 6-0. I heard it directly from Bruce "I'm not a Chiefs fan" Heartl.

Wonder how he'll dis the Shox next time he's covering a Chiefs game..... :-x

I didn't have my radio for the first game, but I did for the second. They seemed to be attributing this swap to some kind of foot injury.

I however had your same line of thought. He made two very boneheaded plays on the base path and Gene was not happy. He was really not happy when he didn't get to second and was just downright livid when he was picked on first movement.

He was to the mound when Gene yelled at him to come back and then sent Grimes out.

I would think maybe there is a foot injury thing here (is that why he didn't get that base?) because if you just wanted to spank the pup, pulling him would do it. But when he didn't start the second game, I was really curious. I guess we will see later today.
