2015 Spring Training Game Thread

[Tryptamine]

Seriously, how are you going to give Weaver an inch and a half on all parts of the plate? Hitters don't stand a chance.

[Tryptamine]

As Olt hits a bomb....

[sneakypower]

i guess i'm ok with 9 games of Olt

[treebird]

bryant did not look super comfortable going after that double

[CubInOK]

Give Travis Wood Bryant's PAs.

[Deeg]

Olt... Sure is a lot to like about a guy who just has to find a way to hit 250 with a 25% K-rate to be an all-star.

[sweetpeteman]

Of [expletive] course. Ha.

[Guest]

Bryant throws like an infielder

[Schwarber Fan]

That's the Welly I remember, popping up a 3-1 with a guy at 3rd.

[Guest]

Olt should've tagged there with one out and the pitcher spot up

[Gilby]

lol, Theo looked like he was dreading having to deal with Schilling and even more Bryant questions.

[Tryptamine]

Baez gets robbed of a walk. This Ump is not good.

[Guest]

Javy got robbed of a walk there

[Gilby]

This ump has somewhere to be.

[Tryptamine]

Bryant rung up on a ball for the second time tonight.

[XZero771679666304]

...and that's two bad called thirds on Bryant.

[Guest]

will say that the new strikezone graphic thing is super cool

[Guest]

Also, this

[Gilby]

I'd still rather have Alcantara or La Stella start at 3B over Olt.

[Guest]

Rizzo barely looks like he's swinging and hits it so far

[Guest]

oh and please don't let motte be that guy who ruins a bunch of wins for us in April

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Sammy Sofa]

This infield lineup is crazy-good defensively.

 

Is anyone still hanging on to the notion that Castro will move Russell off SS? Russell is way, way better with the glove. A wizard.

 

If Baez can hit at all (and I certainly believe he will) this is the middle IF of the future. Terrific defensively.

 

Plenty of people see Castro sticking at SS, especially if Baez somehow manages to not be the Sorrowbringer or another 2B candidate emerges a la Al Contra.

[Sammy Sofa]

Digging the superimposed strike zone on ESPN.

 

Me too but part of me fears we've entered into a whole new era of umpire bashing.

 

How is this possibly something you would "fear."
