  1. I didn't see him take BP, but I talked to people who saw him taking BP and fielding practice.
  2. JD's ABs have looked awful, but that is normal for him in ST. I watched him take BP a couple of times and he is working on hitting everything to the right side.
  3. I like McHugh, but his arm woes have been a bit mysterious. I would wait until his throwing program progresses a bit before signing him. In the meantime, he needs to get someone else just to go north with 4. Mata looked good yesterday, but who knows how he will look when he faces full MLB lineups. Hernandez has plus stuff, but he hasn’t proved that he can consistently throw strikes. I watched BP on the back field and saw that LuCroy was raking. I told Dewey that LuCroy had a really good BP and that JD looked awful. It carried over to the game. JD had 3 terrible ABs and LuCroy PH a hard drive of the very top of the monster.
  4. Have you been to any games yet?
  5. And I hope that Bloom is looking forward a starting pitcher since the Red Sox only have 3 starters to open the season.
  6. I’ll have to run out and look for a surgical mask.
  7. He did get to leave an impoverished country where the people make $20/month to make millions of dollars with almost no scrutiny. He thinks he died and went to heaven. He should have a shrine to Ben in his house for giving him one of the most absurd contracts in history.
  8. Maybe I will be wrong, but I am going to remain pissed for a while. I feel cheated out of 1 year of Mookie and a legitimate shot at a title in 2020. I am really pissed that they have thrown away the season preemptively.
  9. Mookie Betts makes Dodgers debut in Spring Training WWW.MLB.COM GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If the Dodgers win the World Series this year, Mookie Betts’ inaugural address to his new club will go down as the greatest tone-setter since Kirk Gibson in 1988. Flashback to Vero Beach. Gibson, who had just joined the Dodgers as a free agent, went ballistic over
  10. He’s still one of the best color guys in the game.
  11. I brought it up sarcastically saying that Bloom had signed him. I got a chuckle when I saw the starting opposing pitcher today.
  12. Who could have foreseen that he would become a complete dog. We should have known from his introductory press conference when he showed that he was a choker developing laryngitis and being unable to speak. Plus, Theo didn’t have to outbid the closest bidder by $40 million.
  13. Apples and oranges. Moncada didn’t have a chronic injury spanning 2 seasons.
  14. Yep, I get that. That’s why I would have preferred to ride with 1 year of Mookie and make another run at a title. The Yankees pitching is very vulnerable despite signing Cole.
  15. The Red Sox would have had a legitimate chance to make a run at the Division Title had they not dismantled the team.
  16. I am an early adopter of the “Verdugo is a Bust” verdict. Hopefully, he proves me wrong. I followed him a bit last year before he got injured and asked around NL fans about him. There wasn’t a lot of enthusiasm about him.
  17. Mookie was a pure salary dump. Verdugo is damaged goods. And Downs is no Jeter
  18. And he took a hit off his foot -- 6 weeks on the DL?
  19. Pokey Reese would be worth an MILB contract.
  20. Speier brings nothing to the broadcast except for Eck calling him Stat Masterson. He drones on about the obvious or the obscure, but never anything interesting. FTR, I have nothing against nerds, but I can't take boring.
  21. Doug Flutie tracking down foul balls.
  22. Tommy Joseph? Another retread bum. Bloom thinks this is Tampa.
  23. Yeah, you seem like a real hoot. Maybe you could team up with Kimmi and discuss myths like “clutch” when the games get boring.
  24. This season we will need a comedy team in the booth to keep the games interesting, especially on bullpen day.
