What to do in Jupiter

Ok, this blog is for the Jupiter campus, I'm sure you already know that the Palm Beach Cardinals play right next store to you at Roger Dean Stadium. What you don't know is that is a good cheap way to have fun, before or after your summer classes. Monday is 'belly buster' days where you can eat and drink as much as you want for fifteen dollars. Also if you have a dog, there are multiple games you can bring you furry friend to. Finally there is great compotition and players out there, a cheap way to see future MLB players. This is not an advertisment, I'm a Cubs fan, but just a suggestion of something for FAU students to do this summer.

Tyler Norrick- Tyler is a talented lefty that has dominated the FSL with a variety of pitches that have baffled opposing hitter. Norrick started the season with an impressive streak of eighteen scoreless innings, and has only given up one run in twenty four innings. His record is an impressive 3-0 and a ridiculous earned run average of .038 and allowing only twelve hits. What makes Norrick’s numbers so amazing is the fact that he is not a strike out pitcher, he only has twelve. Norrick is the type of pitcher that allows batters to put the ball in play, the key to his success is that he excels at putting the ball where the hitter can’t drive it.

Gary Daley- Gary is just one of the talented arms that are available in the Cards’ bullpen. Daley has been making hitters miss this season, striking out five in only eleven innings pitched. Hitters can’t figure him out batting only .187 against big right hander, which has contributed to his unbelievable zero earned run average.

Michael Cooper- Michael has been the anchor of the bullpen, coming in stressful positions and holding opposing hitters at bay and stopping big innings. Cooper has one win against one loss and an earned run average of 1.64 and opposing hitters are only hitting .190 against him.

Jason Motte- Jason is the closest thing the Cards’ have to a closer, leading the team with three saves. What makes Motte an interesting player is the fact that he is dominating as a pitcher even though he was a catcher last season. He was more than just an average position player; Motte was an all-star catcher in 2006. Before that season was over he was demoted to the New York State League and was learning how to pitch. Motte has done well with his adjustment pitching his earned run average is a paltry 1.29 in his seven innings or relief.
