[Brownie19]

It's 1:05 and baseball is finally back!!! booooya

[jaysfan2014]

Bryan Mitchell wasting no time retiring the side for the Yankees..

[Terminator]

When does the Korean league start? I'll be in Seoul over March Break and would be cool to catch some games.

[jaysfan2014]

Unsurprisingly, Henry Owens still sucks..

[Ray]

Conforto is absolutely crushing it so far by the way.

[King]

Is anyone else watching this Yankees/Phillies game? Aaron Judge just hit a rocket.

[King]

[Pendleton]

Yep he got a good piece of that one.

[jaysfan2014]

Yanks pitchers have a perfect game going so far.. for how long, we'll have to wait and see, as the regulars are now out and the minor-leaguers are in..

[Ray]

Nobody moved when Judge hit that. That was a mammoth shot.

 

Also of note, Matt Holliday looking good as a Yank. I fear he's gonna be a pain for us the entire season.

 

Granted, this is against the Phillies so take everything with a grain of salt.

[King]

Going to be a long season for the Phillies

[Ray]

Phillies are in midseason form already.

[Laika]

Going to be a long season for the Phillies

 

They aren't that bad. Rotation is solid. Some interesting bats / close prospects.

 

They might win 75+ games IMO.

 

Now the PADRES... wow.

Sir - everything that happens in spring training needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Especially this early.

I know that. Just the Yankees are throwing a perfect game against them through 6 (which just ended) and they are booting the ball around the field.

[Ray]

Gleyber Torres just f***ed up the perfect game.

 

And the no-hitter is gone now too.

[King]

Scott "Dustin Pedroia" Kingery into the game for the Phillies

 

I think only Boxy is going to get this reference.

[jaysfan2014]

Another perfect game going at the Mets/Red Sox game..Lugo, Molina, Montero have shut the Sox down thru 5.2 innings so far..

Probably something Sayre said.

[Ray]

Giants just hit a walk off home run against the Reds in their first Spring training game

[bzapple]

This is a fun site. A guy who ran on the Rogers Center field detailing his experience.

Actually a pretty cool story. I wonder if anyone's bought the movie rights yet.

"The “strip search” and holding cell experience"

 

Well that's complete ********, lol.

Unless the Jays go undefeated in Spring Training in which case the hype train on BJMB will be on full force

[jaysfan2014]

Tyler Thornburg sucks... even though it's early in the spring and one game, that trade with the Brewers is looking bad so far:

 

0.2 IP, 4H, 5ER, 1BB, 1K... about 30 pitches.

 

Better be only working on something.. of course, need more info...

This is absurd. It's day 2 of spring training.

It's stupid to trade a controllable starting position player and a prospect for a non elite reliever, so the trade looks bad in that respect. This game has nothing to do with it.

Especially when the Sox are very thin at 3B, a position Shaw was playing.. if Sandoval flames out, they're in big trouble. Devers is a year away.. and options in the system are lacking.

[Laika]

looks like Kevin Plawecki is already out forever:

 

[Grant77]

Thornburg had more value than Osuna last year and is controlled until 2020.

 

He was worth -0.3 WAR the year before and steamer projects him for 0.3 WAR this season. Relievers are volatile.
