Anything particularly interesting from Theo?

Talked about new technology they wanted to use to try and reinforce rewards for swinging at pitches in the strike zone. Was interesting.

I missed the game yesterday and am about to watch some of it on DVR.

 

How did everyone feel about Deshaies?

I thought he was good. Knows his baseball, has a sense of humor, etc...

[KaiserCesar]

No CF camera for today's game, should be interesting to watch for awhile.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ho hum. 2 strike single up the middle for Baez.

[davell]

RBI double to the wall. Javy.

[SpongeWorthy]

Jim Deshaies's glued all the hair from his head onto his forearms.

[rocket]

i really like jim deshaies. had great chemistry with len.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Sappelt 3-run home run. Surely he's secured his spot on the roster.

Smooth day for Jackson. Baez/Soler 0-8.

In his third PA, Baez swang at a bunch of pitches out of the zone. In his fourth, he took a borderline 3-1 pitch and took a few steps toward first when the umpire made a late call, then struck out swinging on the next pitch.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bogusevic and Lillibridge hitting themselves onto the team it seems

Javy's first at bat in minor league camp: Gone.

combine all the love/obsession/fandom etc. that this board has had for all players and it is not enough for Javy.

[Quakers]

With the improvement in the quality of our prospects, I am getting excited about this year's minor league season. Not only that but I will be able to see Boise when they are in Salem and when they are in Hillsboro. Shoot...Eugene is not that far away.

 

:D

Castro HR.

[davell]

Over/Under 55 for combined Castro and Rizzo homers this year? I'll take over, barely.

[Guest]

Under

 

18 and 29

[davell]

I'm optimistic obviously: 21 and 35.

Under. Way under.

 

Even ZIPS, with it's massive Rizzo boner, predicts 45 between the two.

You're high.

I'm stealing your line. We're going to be seeing a ton of "goober face" this year.

[Sammy Sofa]

I don't know what that means.

[MWV]

Maybe this?

As in he expects to see a lot of Rizzo's oafish mien captured in mid-homerun trot?
