Chafin and Hendricks make for colorful interviews  

Gleeman:

Andrew Chafin after topping out at 87 mph today: "If I cared about velo, I wouldn't have a job anymore."

"It's just a matter of tricking the body into doing what I want it to do when I want it to do it. And it doesn't really have a choice, so it's like a mind-over-matter dance."

Jeffers among others really coughed up hairballs with RBI chances Topa worked a lot harder than he ought to have. Lots of unclutch hitting. Is Wallner ok? (Physically after hbp)

He went up to the  broadcast booth and talked about his new hitting stance, did not mention any problems.

Related note, 3 HBP today, and Wallner left immediately after. Any word? 

It was planned for him to come out at that point.

Not surprising.  Mid season form already.

[Parfigliano]

First 2 Pirates hit ball off SWR to Outman who should have caught both.  He misplayed both.

[Recognize]

Anyone else's audio ahead of what's being shown?

[Vanimal46]

I've never heard of a mid 20 year old player getting hurt running the bases as much as Royce Lewis. It really is something.

11 LOB and Adams gives up a 2-run HR. Some things never change.

Travis Adams does not look like he is a big league pitcher at least not last year and so far this Spring. 

[RpR]

In yesterday's game, Gio Urshela made a fantastic play, throwing the runner out at first whilst sitting on his buttocks.

A week from now we should know better if Minn. defense has improved or not.

Ohl was the better of the 2.  Even still I don't see either as cutting it.

Everyone said Royce Lewis is a unicorn.

[SteveLV]

Roden wants to make the team.

Apparently Wallner does not.  O for the Spring so far with tons of K's (but none today)

I am perfectly fine with Outman and Wallner being off the MLB roster.  Substitute ERod and Roden.

Welp the typical start to a Yankees game. Raya is nowhere close to the plate

[RpR]

Bases loaded no outs in the First against the Yankees, my oh my.

The only strikes have been gifted by the sympathetic ump 

[Parfigliano]

3 Raya W in 1st and finally got an out.

He's gonna come up on the IL tomorrow 

[Parfigliano]

Raya throwing a lot of curveballs to get his 4th W and 2nd run W'd in and him out of game.

[RpR]

Walked in run number Two; at least they finally pulled him.

I looked at his minor league numbers, time for him to go back to AA.

[Parfigliano]

1st inning 1 out 4runs in and TC BP is pumping out players without a name on their jersey.
