    Nah. Black holes have 2 forms of energy as well as mass-energy equivalent.

    Think of yourself as Gabby Hayes, riding shotgun for John Wayne on the stagecoach.

    That was my line. 3 hits. Have seen this movie. Mercy.

    Of course, MLB radio network just spins and spins.

    As an exclusive radio listener,, surely is nice to hear Provus' voice once again.

    Spring training is all about practice...

    Anyone else finished with Paddack?

    Ty Cobb lives.

    TD does a good job in objectively presenting a spectrum of perspectives on the Twins. Are there articles with which I disagree? Many of them. But I can buzz thru the lighter arguments and drill down on the good ones that contain solid items I hadn't considered. Keep up the good work.

    While I agree with the general tone of the article, I did find this statement shocking.

    Attended Div I college game in Boca Raton, Florida, on Sunday. Florida Atlantic University (my alma mater) vs Bradley. 1st base had a double bag, one in fair territory and an orange one in foul. Say what? New rule in Div I in 2025. Orange bag is there for the runner, thereby reducing collusions at 1st. https://247sports.com/college/mississippi-state/article/ncaa-baseball-rule-double-bag-first-base-mississippi-state-missouri-state-246022921/

    Had Blue Jays game on and who is batting instructor? David Popkins. Maybe others caught it last fall, but I had missed it. https://www.mlb.com/news/david-popkins-blue-jays-hitting-coach

    Vegas will return $4000 on your $100 bet today. Best grab it. Though my $100 will remain in my pocket for 3 dozen eggs at Cub in these remaining weeks of ST, I will agree with you on "Go Twins."

    Rain gods vs MLB, 1-0.
  16. Dave Borton
    Expect the rains to come down on the boys today. It is presently raining in Tampa and radar looks like ~2..00 p in Port Charlotte.

    Francona has the Reds players opting out of the ABS this spring in that it won't be employed this year; "distraction from anything that helps us win this year." Reds MiLB is employing it.
  18. Dave Borton
    5th inn and I am very tired of the ABS already.

    And the man...Aaron Judge. He has kept the number 99 that he was given in Spring Training years ago. 3 fields, several pitchers on each, with 5 batters on ours. All eyes were on Judge. Gosh, he is easy to root for. Pitching coach calls balls and strikes and so that players can get used to the ABS, batter can call for a review of a pitch. Judge cranked what would have been two doubles.

    This young lad has visions and dreams of when he will fill his jersey with the class, form, and talent of #99. Mine was #24, Willie Mays, but I never made it out of the sandlots of Western New York. I wish the lad more success.

    Stopped over to Yanks Spring Training. They had 3 fields going with BP. Tampa Tarpons, their single-A affiliate of the FSL plays here during the year. I guess we all have egos but I have lots of other names for the stadium I could suggest. Given my era, I think I will rename it the Mantle-Maris Field. Yeah, I like the ring of that. Tons of Yankee paraphernalia on sale. I easily walked past it and joined the other 1,100 visitors watching a very tall fellow practice...

    We had plans to head to Gainesville for a game between UF and FAMU Rattlers (historic Black college) on Wed but the rain gods have other plans for the day. Nuts. Will head over to the Yanks spring training camp instead. When we lived in Tampa, always went to the FAMU and Bethune Cookman (another HBCU) game. Football wasn't so good but the bands, at halftime, were spectacular. FAMU was the national champ marching band of 2024. If you ever get a chance to see them perform, don't miss it.

    Watched the Hawkeyes of Iowa fall to the University of South Florida last nite. Iowa was cruising to a 4-1 victory until the 7th. The Bulls smacked a grand slam and that's all she wrote. USF wins, 5-4. Infield was a black rubber composite. I have seen the black fill on "grass" before but never for the infield players area. Oh, it was 71* with the windchill factor at 8.30pm. <Winks>..

    We played this song incessantly in Noncommissioned Officers club jukebox during Vietnam war. Oh, memories...
