First ST game...........Play ball

[flafson]

Not a bad throw from Kawasaki at 3B.

[Dylan]

You need to catch that Johnson

[G-Snarls]

drabek's command was atrocious

 

Just like old times!

[S33n]

The people in the chat in charlies stream are annoying as hell

 

No s***

[KingKat]

Neil Wagner in?

 

I was suprised he was still around. Haven't thought about him in a long time.

[Dylan]

lol @ kawasaki

[vic city]

I've said in the past I think Sierra will surprise people this year. His bat has Edwin potential.

[jaysfan2014]

As long as he either DHs or plays 1B.. Sierra's OF defense is ghastly..

[KingKat]

I've said in the past I think Sierra will surprise people this year. His bat has Edwin potential.

 

From what I've heard he's had a good winter ball season but other than that I can't see any reason to have that kind of faith in him.

[G-Snarls]

Seriously?!?!?!

Not saying he'll reach that potential this year but I see him taking a big step forward.

[Abomination]

Happ and Drabek looked exactly as expected. Nice outing for Redmond though.

 

Also, Franco at 3B is lulz.

 

Did the telecasts show velocity for any of the pitchers?

[Abomination]

Nope, I was hoping to see what Redmond was showing.

 

Yeah, that's what I was interested in also

[Angrioter]

Redmond +2

Wagner +1

Happ -2

Drabek -1

[G-Snarls]

Redmond +2

Wagner +1

Happ -2

Drabek -1

 

Official "scoring" for roster chances?

[Dylan]

Quick rain delay

[KingKat]

Seriously?!?!?!

 

 

I don't mind that. It's the follow back stuff that's pretty pathetic.

It just seems like your taking a stab in the dark to me. I don't see a rationale for the optimism.

Like this one?

 

[Angrioter]

Yeah. Rating.

-Redmond 4th rotation spot

-Wagner 6th Inning guy

-Happ long RP

-Drabek AAA

[Angrioter]

Drabek on his outing: "I’m just upset with the command because that’s been a [career] struggle and I thought I had it figured out."

 

 

lol

His feed must be just the most unreadable stream of Twitter diarhea. Pitty the poor lacky if he has to actually read it.

I see similarities in their approaches/swings at the plate. Edwin used to swing wildly and was still somewhat effective. But it wasn't until he shortened his swing that he became the hitter that he is today. I think Sierra's swing has been pretty long/wild the last couple years but he has shown that he has that raw power like Edwin. I think Sierra will develop into a solid power threat once he figures his swing out...just like Edwin did.

How was the #BautistaBomb??

[bowld]

How was the #BautistaBomb??

 

Crushed. The ball left the ballpark with the aid of some pretty strong winds

Oh yeah!

[G-Snarls]

As always, I'm going to wait a few weeks before starting to really judge anyone...

 

But when pitchers with a history of s*** control (Drabek, Romero) or inadequate stuff (Happ) come out and look like the same old s***** pitchers right at the start of ST, it's awfully hard to let yourself think there's any chance they're going to impress the team and deserve a rotation spot by April

[fatcowxlive]

Anyone have a stream?

[G-Snarls]

See for yourself!
