Spring Training Games, Week of 3/16 - 3/25

Pablo salvaged his start. Offense do your thing. 5-8 hitters, nice job there. 

[Vanimal46]

FWIW - Royce strained his right hamstring last year. Now it’s the left hamstring. See you in a couple months, Royce.

Edit:

they must not have read my last post. Hitters 1-4 are now 0-10 with 7 Ks ⚾️

That’s not gonna get it done.

It’s going to be really annoying when we head to the regular season and pretend this ABS challenge system doesn’t exist 

[Vanimal46]

What are you talking about Morneau? These challenges aren’t disruptive… They’re getting squared away in 5 seconds or less. 

[tony&rodney]

Ty France and Jose Miranda crack me up on foul ball pop ups. They just turn and take a slight jog and watch the ball drop. Meanwhile, Vladdy Guerrero, not exactly a tiny fellow, cruises after those balls and catches them. Ah, but it is Spring Training.

[Doctor Gast]

Watkins lost again, seems like he doesn't know what to do.

[tony&rodney]

Griffin Jax looks better every year. He looks as dominant as any pitcher in baseball.

I found that comment by Morneau ironic, considering his style on the mic, lol.

After a taste of fairness, the league will demand it. NYY will fight it,

[tony&rodney]

Missed a DP because of a 5'-11' first baseman there, which may answer if a guy a little taller makes a difference.

Twins lost but still an enjoyable game

Hopefully it's not that bad but yes it's a bad beginning for him after having a good ST.

Another roster certainty is that Tonkin will start the season on the IL.

Skenes today.  Should be interesting.

Made him throw 23 pitches.  Jeffers and Larnach single.  Wallner+Castro+ Miranda K

[ashbury]

Mike Ford...  In Play, Run(s) !

[tony&rodney]

Shock alert - Julien turns DP and makes routine play behind second base to end innings two and three. 

[tony&rodney]

Willi Castro looking a little rough at the plate. I'm hoping he is used as a utility player this season. Castro would love to have a regular position, but he really fits as a utility player.

[ashbury]

Dang it, Ryan's always been a little prone to the gopherball but so far this spring is ridiculous.

Patience, my friend.  Patience.  Julien like a coiled spring, ready to unleash madness on us at any moment.

I'm just teasing those who get all wound up about Julien. He is what he is and he had one good swing and two crappy swings thus far. Julien doesn't bother me at all.

[thelanges5]

The pride of Forest Lake with his sixth spring training home run! ⚾️

[USAFChief]

Miranda takes a called strike 3 after swinging at two pitches in the dirt. Against a LHer, no less.

And then Lee takes the infamous called strike three NOT looking. 

Heck of an inning. 

 

 

[Parfigliano]

Bats still sleeping.

I can't get gameday today, I miss it.
