I figured as much but they always bring it up and made it sound like he had to choose one or the other. I had a good friend in High School that was maybe 5'8 or 5'9 that could throw in the high 80 or low 90s mph as a sophomore. He was skinny as shit and you would never expect the heat he could throw until you saw him on the mound.

That's GAS as a Sophmore, that Velocity at that age will definitely bring out the Scouts! Going back ten years I don't see RJ's name mentioned or registered in baseballs amateur draft.
He was being scouted when he was still in Senior Minors. He unfortunately fell in with the wrong crowd and overdosed at 19. Seeing his body in that casket is something I'll never forget.

Honestly, my favorite part of the night was Ricky’s “You’re really good at math” comment in reference to Harris’s on the spot podium calculations.

Not sure why, but I laughed my ass off.

Who ever the pussy is that down voted my comment it's gotta be nice to do stuff like that anonymously since Vital won't show who down voted you. I normally could careless, but he was one of my best friends. With that said fuck you and I hope your wife, which your coward ass probably doesn’t even have cheats on you and cleans out the $13.67 in your joke of a bank account. You fucking tool.

I didn’t do it (I did this one though), but did it ever cross your mind that whoever downvoted it did so because it sucks that your buddy died at 19? And you had to go and make it personal…

Ehh maybe but I doubt it. I think vote or comment should have a name attached to it.

I've heard the baseball thing about RJ before. Was he really a prospect that could've made it in the big leagues? Minors? Or maybe a scholarship at a school? I vaguely remember hearing he was a good pitcher. I was glad to see him get that win tonight, seems like it's been a long time coming. I've always liked him and glad to see him finally get the monkey off his back. I could've swore he got one before, before but I was obviously was wrong. Good for him.
He's doesn't have the frame to have been a good pitcher in the majors. Those guys are 6-4"-6'6" and have monster legs

Very happy for Marvin!

But man i just don't understand how people can be in favor of the triple crown format, they are horrible. At no point of the night does it get exciting for the W of the actual overall. Living in Europe, i will never bother to watch a triple crown live in the night/early morning.

I like having the three triple crowns during the season. It just mixes things up a bit and after attending the dallas race I like them even more. I think RC mentioned something about the St Louis track being difficult to pass on and we alls saw the close qualifying times. Racing probably wouldn't have been great in a regular format either.

Triple Crown Award


That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee. It’s the points that matter.

Pretty much been on the fence about triple crowns.
But after last night, I'm pretty much over them.
Especially on such a crummy track.

Sooooo much unused floor space.
And that start/finish tower placement at the end of a whoop section, is a mistake that should never be made again.
Just ask Dean about that.
That was a brutal, and completely nessecary, hit.

They need to rework the points. Leave the overall how it is, but pay season points like they do in outdoors. Give the riders incentive to fight for every position. The last race on the night is a snoozefest when the overall is all but locked up like the 450s was last night.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a rider roll around and get in everyone’s way as much as 722 did last night. He was constantly getting lapped

It was pure luck haha. Marv did look incredible for qualifying though. Had that spark going on.

I didn't see what actually happened to Dean. Did someone post a video? I just saw him laying there in a lot of pain. What happened?

It took Tomac two motos to get back into racing mindset. He often seems to not do as well immediately after a week off.

This also shows how quickly he could go back to being a 12th place start guy. It is not the bike. Starts are mental. He was mad in the 3rd race and pulled the holeshot.

Amazingly, what looked like a poor night for him, he actually extended his points lead right?

I swear that’s his MO every time he makes a main. I can’t remember ever seeing him push it in the main event after a few laps.
