    That never changes, does it.

    I know you K. I know you would never take credit, but you've done good in raising a fine young man

    He sure looked good the inning he pitched at the all star game. Might have to go check him out again Saturday night. Would be great to see him pitch more than one inning.

    I'll second the sentiments on him being a good kid. Signed a bunch of autographs at the all star game. We noticed he was scribbling a verse with his signature but couldn't really read what it was. Good to see where his head is as he enjoys the fame.

    The one thing that I wonder about after watching him some in high school is his hitting. I always thought the kid could make it with the bat too. Oh to be a left handed teenager, with a good head, and a lightning bolt for a left arm.

    thanks for the heads up. will definitely be there. it will be interesting to see how the Hoppers Mike Stanton fares against the lefty flame thrower. Stanton is having a monster season and is listed as one of Marlins the top prospects with 27 HR's.

    philippians 4:13. I would type it out but maybe it would be more beneficial for us to look it up.

    Also noticed in the article the giants pitching guru talked about him having 3 plus pitches with a slider.

    He is rolling at Augusta

    He has not allowed a run in the last 14 straight innings and his ERA is 1.70 this year with an 11-3 record.

    All I know is if he continues to work as a starter when he arrives to San Francisco he and Tim Lincecum will be tough

    Stanton hit his league leading 29th HR for Hoppers last night. Should be fun to watch him go against Bumgardner on Sat.

    I watch a lot of baseball and Madison is my all-time favorite to watch. I've seen him a couple of times this season and he's developed his secondary pitches very well. He's very polished especially for his age and it being his 1st full season of professional baseball.

    I've been impressed with Madison and can't wait to see him Saturday
