  1. Great outing for Ronel today! 3.1 IP 3 H O ER 0 BB 5 K threw 50 pitches, 35 strikes
  2. days until the home opener.
  3. Shaquille Olajuwon Mason. What else could you want in a guard?
  4. Good outing so far for Hunter Brown. 3 IP 0 H 0 BB 0 R 3 K
  5. https://www.mlb.com/news/forrest-whitley-throws-strikes-in-latest-spring-start-for-astros?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share Whitley threw 38 of his 57 pitches for strikes in 2 2/3 innings in Saturday’s 3-2 victory over the Cardinals at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. The right-handed prospect allowed four hits, two runs and struck out two batters. Whitley said the fact that he’s been around the strike zone has been the most encouraging part of his camp so far. “My goal this camp was to come and fill it up,” he said.
  6. Whitley still sucks huh
  7. Finished that fucker's book last night (checked out from library). It's a good read full of juicy details behind the scenes but his entire anti-Astro thesis was permanently neutered when Yordan turned the game upside down that Saturday night in November.
  8. Go get LJ Pay that man and get your franchise quarterback for the next 7+ years.
  9. Hensley bomb to CF
  10. Would be the likely one to lose his place on the roster and it's not like he's locked a spot down anyway since the injury seemingly tanked his production and/or confidence at the plate.
  11. Gonna go out on a limb and bet he makes the opening day active roster as the fourth outfielder.
  12. Tune in to the top of the 1st! 1 H 2 BB 2 K 1 ER
  13. Same, and honestly it was hardly even noticeable except every once in a while when I looked around and saw the unobtrusive digital clock counting down from :25. Look, I'm as old school as most everyone else and I'm firmly in the camp of "baseball is fine as it is, stop whining?" but the twitter/redditverse losing its mind over the implementation of this new rule in the first games of spring training tells me that few fans paid close attention at all to minor league games last year. Pitchers need to hurry up and pitch, batters need to stop fucking around with their batting gloves and wrist guards and step into the box. I don't recall any at bats in the games I watched last year that were affected by pitch clock violations (I'm sure there were some) but I definitely noticed a consistent and improved pace of play between pitchers and hitters. Umps are not going to decide big moments of games on these violations, but they are going to set a tone early to let players know they need to be aware of and honor the pitch clock rule. It's a welcome change imo.
  14. Thanks for the tip! My subscription was set to renew in a couple of days at $149.99 but I joined the MLBPA and got my discount link yesterday and successfully applied it to a new MLB.TV subscription with a $75 discount.
