i like to see who comes out of ST healthy before taking a shot but will go with 88.

thats not the package i would want for Devers. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾ now if i could get Atlanta to send pache, anderson, wright, and de la cruz i will personally help rafi pack......

hahaha. i actually dont mind him. jimmy...johnny...lenny....timmy...something like that.....

my favorite article of spring training thus far: So here's one way to prevent sign stealing: Just tell the batter what's coming. That's what Reds right-hander Trevor Bauer did at points during his Cactus League outing against the Dodgers at Goodyear Ballpark on Monday. Bauer used the traditional glove sign for whatever pitch he was about to throw to Dodgers hitter Matt Beaty in the 4th inning, just as if he was signaling to his catcher what was coming while warming up between innings. It all worked out just fine, too -- Beaty flew out to center field, and Bauer ended up tossing three scoreless innings out of the bullpen, giving up two hits and striking out two. He struck out Enrique Hernández swinging and A.J. Pollock looking in the sixth. After noticing Bauer using the glove signs, Reds television reporter Jim Day inquired about it with a friend of Bauer's in the dugout, Derek Dietrich. "If you've followed baseball this offseason, there's a little thing going on with sign stealing," Dietrich said, referring to MLB's investigation into sign-stealing allegations against the Astros and Red Sox. "Trevor's not too fond of it, so he figured he's gonna try something new this season, and he's gonna start telling batters what's coming -- just, here it comes, try to hit it." While it worked from the fourth through sixth innings Monday, it might not be advisable to do it all the time. "Trevor's always gonna do something crazy," Dietrich said. "We enjoy him."

for the right package of prospects - every single player on the Red Sox should be available.

OMG.....who is that effing goofball comedian they have in the booth every year? if he gets more then 1 date i am watching the other teams feed.

thanks Dave.

its awesome having "insiders" down at the Fort. looking forward to you and s5 posting some thoughts/views/concerns from what you guys see down there.

i just dont think he will have the same access to video in-game. apparently he spends alot of time reviewing every pitch/swing against him and makes mental notes/adjustments. not sure he will feel as comfortable doing it this year.

this post right here proves the insanity of Cashman not dealing any of these guys for pitching last july. i 100% believe this inaction cost the yankees a parade. he has a case of the "ben's"

Rizzo: "I'm doing some math in my head about what he's going to throw." Jessica Mendoza: "What do you got?" Rizzo: "I have no idea. I wish I knew… someone bang for me."

According to the New York Post’s Joel Sherman, the can is continuing to be kicked further down the road. Citing sources he wrote: “MLB is not expected to announce findings from its illegal sign-stealing investigation into the 2018 Red Sox this week, but the plan is before the regular season. Word is that the scheme was not as systemic or widespread as that of the Astros, thus, the penalties are not expected to be as severe." Sherman included that the Dodgers were assured by MLB that Mookie Betts and David Price, who were traded from the Red Sox, will not be facing any discipline, even though no players have faced discipline so far.

maybe each player can have their own personal sponsor? heath hembree has dibs on Proud Boys sponsorship.

plus sometimes he jogs...JOGS...to the spot to catch a flyball. he should be running full speed and then wait!!!!!

we may see a regression from JDM this season due to #Beltranmethodgate

this will be great if they go back to the baseball with higher seams and/or if we incorporate the Cole Method for pitcher grip/spin rate.

hahahaha. hahahahahaha. dang.

MLB is turning their backs on future fans. anyone with a child under the age of 18 knows that they dont even watch tv anymore let alone the MLB network. everything is youtube / tiktok / snapchat. MLB has to change their policy immediately.

jacksonianmarch didnt start a thread about it so it has to be nothing.

this should help explain:

Trot was the OG. pedroia needs to be on the list too. JBj need not apply.

probably not having JD take reps at 1b or having Erod practice covering 1b on grounders to the right side either. WTF!

he must have thought it was gone. every player does this. nothing to see here. mvp lol @ mary jane.

sss!
