SOMEBODY HIT A BALL AT MIKE OLT

Well, don't hit him in the head with it, something he can field would be nice.

[The-Kris-Bryant]

Jason Hammel sucks.

[mul21]

Is Kottarras this bad at blocking pitches?

[Guest]

Jason Hammel sucks.

 

Scott Feldman last spring: 20 IP, 11.25 ERA, 17/6 K/BB, 7 HR

 

 

Semi-related note, in searching for this I found that Feldman is the Astros opening day starter, which blows my mind.

[ctcf]

Hammel not lookin so hot

good call.

 

i feel like there used to be a strong consensus that we should make fun of people who paid attention to spring training stats. i feel like that has kind of dwindled.

 

let's bring it back!

[Guest]

ESPECIALLY the stats of a starting pitcher who pretty much has a job.

Jason Hammel sucks.

When was the last time a guy with 10 career starts or less was an opening day starter?

 

In other thoughts... Carrie Muskat interviews suck. Did she really think Wada was in the mix? No wonder her articles suck. No Olt to Iowa.

it has nothing to do with his spring training stats. His mlb career speaks for itself.

Yeah, that was a terrible interview. She wants Olt to go to Iowa so he can play full time, as if that can't happen at the Major League level.

Carrie Muskatt was just in the booth and mentioned that Almora was on a much faster track than people may think. What's the fastest case scenario? This September?

Hopefully that just means he is going straight to AA

I would be shocked to see him sooner than mid-2015.

[mul21]

Lake with a 3 run dinger and then Valbuena goes back to back with him.

[SpongeWorthy]

Didn't see where that Valbuena ball landed

[NOLA]

Please start Valbuena at 2B to start the season.

[d_money]

Please start Valbuena at 2B to start the season.

Yes

[Soul]

Didn't see where that Valbuena ball landed

It bounced off the corrugated roof and hit the ground, say, 20 feet outside the fence.

 

2 nice looking swings in a row there. I had just tuned in 5 minutes prior

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Please start Valbuena at 2B to start the season.

 

If Olt is good and Valbuena starts at 2b...

 

Well I guess the offense will still suck because we punted on the whole @#$#@$ outfield.

[Guest]

Who is the tatted up dude on first

The Schierholtz/Ruggiano platoon is not going to be bad.

 

Or Sweeney/Ruggiano. Whichever one Ruggiano is in.

Ryan Roberts

I wonder what C. Montgomery Burns would think about him.

[Guest]

Suck it haters.
