2017 Spring Training Game Thread

[MWV]

cant decide if i wanna give heyward the benefit of the doubt and say he was going for the rbi

Nope. That swing was pure '16 Heyward. Still plenty of time, though.

These EdwardJones commercials with the kids asking questions are god awful.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ah, spring training. A pop up surrounded by three guys with numbers in the 80s.

who just hit that dong

[David]

he looks a little like russell westbrook

Charcer Burks. 9th rounder in 2013, played in Carolina last year. Not much of a prospect.

His draft video when he was drafted consisted primarily of him dunking on a basketball court.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Leathersich and Duensing looked good. As did my guy Berg. But it's only 1 inning in spring training.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Fly the W!

This we're playing games thing is kinda weird. I'm still processing last year.

Why would I ever want to watch a spring training game when I could watch last year's playoff highlights again instead?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Today's game is on MLB Network at 7 CT.

 

Also MLBTV has the Cleveland broadcast.

heyward's swing looks no different. it may even be worse bc he starts in his new stance then goes back to his old stance during the delivery

Baez's defense is in mid season form.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Baez is going to be a 4-5 WAR player THIS YEAR if they let him play 2B every day. That was sick...and routine for him.

I missed the first two ABs Heward had...but that third AB was p1ss poor. Javy is spraying the ball all over. Baez man. Baez.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

they're playing the Indians? jebus, how many times do we have to beat them?

[Omar]

"game 7 rematch"

[The_Achiever]

Eloy is a big boy! Got a little Tony Bautista in that swing.

Indians showing some new WS celebration footage I've not yet seen. If only the rest of our central rivals were as decent as the Indians' TV crew. ...although, how could they have not known the ball hit the camera on that 8th inning HR?! There was even a lego version of that I saw.

First time I've seen that horsefeathering HR from the camera that it hit. Still can't find it online, but I think I'm ok with that.

I'm pretty sold on Eloy after seeing him swing the bat like three times. He has such a short swing for such a big-ass dude

Didn't fox show that replay right after the HR was hit?

Yeah, I said the same thing when the videos were posted showing off his 'new swing' a couple of months ago. His adjustments looked like they might actually exacerbate his issues. Hope we don't have to weather a .600 OPS from our full time RF.
