The Tryout Part I

Look, Dave and I talk a big game.  Anyone who listens to Red Line Radio knows that.  It’s undoubtedly just the cocky Chicago attitude we have embedded deep in our gene pools, but at the same time I pitched in the Big Ten and Dave hit 88 at the speed pitch at a Sox game last summer on a radar gun that probably hasn’t been calibrated in a good 30 years. And at another same time, that’s all we need to get our shot AND BOY DO WE WANT THAT SHOT. Are we big league ready now? No absolutely not. So we’re going the indy ball route because that’s the best we can do right now.

The end result of this is Dave and I are going back out next Friday 7/7 to play a simulated game against the actual team which largely consists of former A-A+ minor leaguers. I’ll be on the mound against these washed up losers while Dave will be in the box against some of their meat relief pitchers. More details to come. If it goes well, I expect a contract presented to me before I leave the mound. Again, that is not a fuckin joke. I know you guys are reading this.

Also, some fun facts:

(1) Funniest part of the video starts at 5:00 no questions asked

(2) Everyone knows the Windy City Thunderbolts are long time friends of Barstool Sports.

(3) They made us lie about our ages like a couple Cubans floating on a piece of plywood to Miami with aspirations of professional baseball. League age max is 26. Complete bullshit? Yes. But when you have fastball command like me and bat speed like Dave, age is just a number.

(4) $3 you call its for the game next Friday in Crestwood, IL otherwise known as a standard Crestwood Happy Hour. Come get loaded.

(5) S/O to our new video guy, Brian. He’ll be following me and Dave around from now on to do more shit like this whether you like it or now.

(6.9) Big Cat once hit 69 in a Windy City Thunderbolts uniform and that’s all I need to know
