I have no idea what to expect from Lake this season.

225 Ks and a few really exciting moments in between.

[Guest]

Have there been any updates on the broadcast about Almora's injury?

 

EDIT - And there it is. Right knee bruise.

You think he'll get 400 ABs?

Stewart's revenge

[Schwarber Fan]

Well. Cabrera stinks

[Guest]

Maybe you should stop drawing so many conclusions from ST performance tho

[davell]

In Cabrera's case, he's getting every chance to make the squad because he's optionless. Parker is going to be more of a factor than him.

78th time this spring I've gone "oh they're at Wrigley?"

It's pretty nuts. If it weren't for that huge painted logo, it'd be damn near impossible to tell.

Wrigley's seats are much closer now though, right?

Yeah, that's probably true.

[Guest]

Would be funny if Renteria asked them to lay a bunt or two down that way

 

I bet he did. And throwing out Trout like that is all my very biased eyes need to see. Olt for 3B now, not in a month. Now.

 

Maybe that's the other thing we got in return for Gretzky.

The Good: Junior Lake hit arguably the longest home run in new Cubs Park as he cleared the grass beyond the left-field fence where fans sit during the game. It was Lake’s fourth home run in his past two games as he’s come alive at the end of spring training. Extra work and fine-tuning have made the difference for Lake, who had struggled much of the spring. Prospect Dan Vogelbach had two hits while starting at first base, and backup catcher George Kottaras doubled off the wall late in the game.

 

Relievers Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon both threw scoreless innings as Rondon was hitting 99 mph on the in-stadium radar gun.

 

Woah

Any reports on how Edwards pitches would be greatly appreciated.

For you swing experts out there: Is it possible that there's something to Mueller getting Lake's hands quieter before the swing that's clicked here at the end of spring that's going to make a long term difference? From everyone who's scouted him, all the raw tools are there and just need some fine tuning.

CJ give up a leadoff single (to start the 2nd) followed by a two-bag error by Kalish. After a Sac Fly, he's walked back-to-back hitters. Edited March 26, 2014 by PackLandVA

It seems like Edwards lost his command at about the same time his FB velo dipped a few mph (according to gameday). Not sure what to make of that, if anything. I really wish I could be watching this game.

are you suggesting the baez/bryant/edwards game might have been more fun to get to watch than the wada/almora injuring himself game?

[PackLandVA]

Cashner is gonna be pretty darn good.

If he can stay healthy.

Len Kasper thought the gun was hot. Apparently Wada hit 93.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Not bothering to create a thread for today's game, but should I be nervous that Samardzija pitched three innings and faced 12 batters?
