Prior Trying To Prove Himself To Reds After Six Year Layoff - RealGM Wiretap

Mark Prior, who hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues since 2006, is trying to catch on with the Reds this spring.

 

In an appearance for Cincinnati on Thursday vs. the A's, Prior pitched one scoreless inning with one strikeout and one hit batsman.

 

Of the 20 pitches Prior threw, 12 were strikes. It was the first time he faced big league hitters since he was in Yankees camp two years ago.

 

"You still want to know, 'Does your stuff still play?'" Prior said. "You're facing Triple-A guys the last couple of days in Minor League camp and last year in Pawtucket. It's always nice to get out there and see the big league guys' swings off of what your stuff is to kind of get a gauge of where you're at."

锘? Keeping teenagers entertained can sometimes be difficult and so I have outlined some ideas for games for teenagers to play. Following are some ideas of games for teenagers to play which are energetic and fun!

UNDER THE BRIDGES. FOR BOYS OR GIRLS. 10 TO 30 PLAYERS PLAYED OUTDOORS OR INDOORS:

The only equipment required for this exciting and amusing game is two volleyballs or basketballs and a white paper-plate marker 6 inches in diameter.

The players form a circle with an arm's length between players. All face the center of the circle and stand with the legs astride in a comfortable Authentic Gary Harris Jersey , not exaggerated, position. The plate marker is placed between any two players in the circle. These two players turn and face each other, and the leader gives each of them a volleyball.

On the word "Go!" each player puts the ball on the ground directly in front of the player nearest him and using only the palm of one hand drives the ball under the bridge formed by that player's legs, Both players who are driving the balls run on the outside of the circle and drive the balls under all of the bridges around the entire circle until they arrive back at the starting plate.

The fact that the players are traveling in different directions assures their meeting at some point of the circle. This adds to the fun and excitement, especially if they meet directly at a bridge. Should a ball be driven away from a bridge by the ball of another player, the player whose ball was forced out of line must retrieve it and Authentic Emmanuel Mudiay Jersey , by the one-hand-drive method, drive it under the bridge that was missed before going on to the next bridge.

Players must not touch the volley ball of another player with their hands. Those who do are sent back two bridges as a penalty, though there is no penalty for a collision between two volleyballs, A ball which fails to go under a bridge must be patted back, always with the palm of one hand, and driven under before the player carries on to the next bridge.

Since one player is forced to use his left hand while circling the players Authentic Dikembe Mutombo Jersey , because it is the hand nearest to the bridges, the fairest way to decide on the winner is to have the bridges circled twice by each player. When a player therefore arrives back at the marker after the first round, he starts around the circle again, running in the opposite direction for the second round. The first player to arrive back at the marker at the end of the second circuit is the winner.

GAME: SIT DOWN! FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. 8 TO 20 PLAYERS PLAYED INDOORS OR OUTDOORS.

The players sit on chairs placed fairly close together in a circle, The chairs face inward and one chair is left vacant at any point in the circle. One player stands in tho middle of the circle. When the leader calls "Sit Down" the player in the middle makes a rush for the empty chair. Before he can reach it, a player from either side of the chair has moved onto it or a player from some other part of the circle has beaten him to it Authentic Danilo Gallinari Jersey , The player in search of the empty chair must now look elsewhere for it, while the seated players constantly move to fill the one empty chair and try to prevent him from finding a chair to sit on.

The game becomes more exciting when two of the seated players rise and rush for an empty seat simultaneously, .
