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

Whats Baldelli trying to prove with SWR today? See how hard he can get hammered after he throws 70 pitches?

[Doctor Gast]

Lopez pitched a good game. But Wheeler against our B & C squad is no match. IMO our A squad would have needed the confrontation more.

Strange way to break in a young pitcher.

Watching

Is this going to be the regular lineup

[Parfigliano]

Still no bats.

You might get tired of saying this

[wabene]

I like Perk on the mic. Anyone know how many games each analyst gets?

[tony&rodney]

Larnach practicing poor baserunning in ST. Yikes.

I already am.  Not a hard hit ball through 4 innings today.

[tony&rodney]

Eddie needs to work on the bat angle. He has been ok thus far in ST, but his opportunity is attached to line drives.

[Parfigliano]

Nice to see Varland throw non FB strikes

[Parfigliano]

Opening day giveàway limited to first 10,000.  Ridiculous.

Then maybe stop saying the obvious and pouring salt in all our wounds 🙁

[USAFChief]

Gladden...

He never answers questions. Today's example:

"Can a lefty hitter like Wallner eliminate the 2 seam fastball that a pitcher like this throws to RH hitters?"

Gladden. "He threw one there."

"Well that was a cutter."

Gladden: "Well the 2 seam is where a pitcher pronates his wrist..."

...

Dan...ATFQ.

Drives me nuts.

[USAFChief]

A little lesson on the importance of stolen bases and not striking out.

Rocco scoffs

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Is Correa smoking line drives and getting unlucky, or is his bat slow or something else wrong.

The bats are dead.  Big problem.

I think i'd be more concerned if they were alive.

 

We'd have to water them and make sure they got sunlight and whatnot.

If Buxton hits a homerun, and no one mentions it here, does it make a sound?

About as much as Ford's yesterday.

37,000 or so is max capacity. it's only been 10,000 for the opening day give away for several years now, much like bobblehead games. I really don't care this year since it's a different version of the winter hat they give away yearly. I don't need another one at this point.

39,504

The cheap-ass giveaway numbers (some giveaways are 5000, ferpetesakes) are cheap.

Well, giveaways are the definition of lame in the first place. I mean a roomful of bobbleheads may impress the guys but it looks a little silly. Keep life simple.
