[ctcf]

And lastly before I leave a nice recap of the stats so far today to make you feel better about life:

 

Michael Cerami @Cerambam1060

Russel 3-3, 2b -- Bryant 2-3 2b, HR -- Soler 2-3, HR -- Baez 1-3 no Ks -- Olt 0-1 2BBs this is good stuff, yo.

Christ, this lineup doesn't even include Castro or rizzo. If this is a sign of things to come the Cubs are gonna be unbelievable. Its nice to catch a glimpse of the future.

it's awesome, but it is also spring training in the desert, which routinely sees offensive explosions.

 

 

 

but it is going to be awesome. I love offense

Reminds me of that skit where Adam Sandler is talking trash from the OF while secretly saying "please don't hit it, please don't hit it, please don't hit it."

[Guest]

i'm convinced

 

olt is capable of being a reasonable good patience/power/glove guy.

 

You finally gave in.

 

He just got the latest software update.

that's just solid follow through by Olt after contact.

Watched Thursday's game. KB's first HR was really crushed, way up beyond the LF berm. He is still learning at 3rd, think Olt will always be a better defender. Soler looks bigger than last year, taller and more definition. Russell looks really good in the field and gets it at the plate. Angels announcers were very praising of our younger players, but called Almora 'ALFRED Almora'. They mentioned that Castillo has shown up in better shape, but should be traded before camp breaks.

[Clem Fandango]

Soler looks bigger than last year, taller and more definition.

 

That stands to reason, he apparently showed up to camp at 242 lbs, up from his list weight of 215 lbs. And it was pretty much all muscle.

i may have said this already, but seeing him jog off the field with Alcantara looks almost like father & son
