He was named the opening day starter and has done nothing since. If it were up to perfomance during spring training he wouldn't even make the final cut.

Is it too early to start worrying about our "Ace"?

I would say absolutley no. Pitchers stats dont mean jack in spring training. There are games where guys will just throw fast balls the whole time just to work on location. I was just watching an interview with Mike Redman and he was talking about how alot of times he doesnt call any breaking pitches for an entire inning.

As far as our ace goes, I like Baker a ton, but our ace will be Liriano.

He'll have at least three more spring starts before the opener plus he's not throwing his best stuff yet.

I wouldn't sweat it at this point. I remember how Santana always was average at the beginning of the season and really got it going the last 3/4 of the season.

Never worry about established pitchers who have secure spots during spring training. They are often trying new pitches, messing with alternate motions and locating pitches differently, etc.

Baker will be ready for the opening day bell.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      Outdoor security cameras

      By Dash 1 · Posted

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
