3/16 v Rays

[Squirrel]

Another glorious day!

 

[Jocko87]

Should be a good one, very possible June lineup and on the TeeVee to boot.

[IndianaTwin]

You know how every food item tastes better when served in a plastic helmet? 

Every lineup looks better when written on a dry-erase board mounted on a cement block wall. 

 

And speaking of lineups, that looks like a pretty formidable one for the home team, one that would look pretty good in Game Seven.

Cloudy and 45 here in SE NM.  Sucks was 75-80 lat 4 days.

[IndianaTwin]

Gladden is in mid-season form. 

Three batters into the lineup and we get, "A-rose-a-rain-ya." He finally figures out how to pronounce an enye on a Spanish name, and he uses it where it doesn't belong.

 

 

[Squirrel]

Two really long no doubt home runs off Pablo so far

[Squirrel]

When did the Rays start wearing yellow hats? Did I miss something?

 

[CRF]

Wish I could say that I missed hearing Atteberry. 

[Parfigliano]

Grill a couple pork chops come back 2-0.

Maybe go with a thinner cut when games count? 

[Parfigliano]

Byron running hard.

[CRF]

Looking forward to seeing a lot more of that from Royce!

Many teams are wearing goofy hats in spring training.

Never.  I'll start earlier.

Even on the radio he sounded fast. 

[Squirrel]

I guess I missed that. But didn’t miss the hits we are getting! 3-2 Twins and their starter is out. For now.

Without pictures, it didn't happen.

A F1 reference for Buxtons speed. Good one. 

[Squirrel]

Diving catch for Buxton. No injury recorded

[IndianaTwin]

On the pop fly to short right, Atteberry wondered if the multilingual Kepler called off Julien in French. 

 

Reminded me of a story from the early days of the Mets. Not sure if I've got the positions right, but it was something like they had a Spanish-speaking shortstop. Pop fly to short center and the outfielder comes in yelling, "I got it." He gets clocked by the shortstop coming out, who didn't understand what the center fielder was calling.

To address the situation, the team decides to teach the center fielder a few key Spanish phrases. Sure enough, there's a pop fly to short center and the outfielder comes in yelling, "Yo lo tengo." 

Annnd, he gets clocked by the second baseman.

Rut roh.  What did I just eat?

[Parfigliano]

Paddack sounds like an alien.

[IndianaTwin]

For the record, I've now listened to four Buxton at bats over the course of two spring training games, and he's hit for the cycle. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?

[9moons27]

Lopez is getting shelled. Again.

[Parfigliano]

Smart.  Pablo getting rid of his HR balls in spring not in season.

[Schmoeman5]

4 homers in 4 innings. I sure hope Lopez is just pitching himself into form.

Possum?

So Ballys is giving a subpar product.  Hmmm. Maybe they had to cut payroll. But honestly, I haven't noticed those issues???
