Autumn Dreamin

Watching these crooked number innings and clean double plays like...

Nice 4-6-3 turned by Andrus and Anderson.

MLB website has ST splits. He just added another homer off a lefty, but the first three were all against RHP. Tiny sample size like you said, but he's slugging .625 vs RHP so far in spring.

2 out rallies are my favorite kind of rallies.

I guess I'll be the only(?) one to say I want Romy on the bench. I think he has legit power, unlike most of the UTIL guys, and legit defensive versatility, unlike Burger. So if people can pound the table for Burger after his hot week, I'll throw Romy's hat in the ring, since he now has a higher OPS even after his absolutely dreadful start ?‍♀️Plus he's speedy. Seby, Romy, Sheets, and Hanser (if they move on from Leury). Since Romy has options, it wouldn't surprise me if we leave camp with both Leury and Hanser and spend a couple weeks giving Leury a chance to bounce back (and Romy some more time to force the issue).

Romy's offseason work starting to deliver results after that time off...3HR and a double in 5 games since he's been back.

Some nice IF defense to keep Santos scoreless.

Seby's been swinging it well.

Kopech still cooking up some Giant LOBsters without his best stuff.

Nice to see Kopech battle through that inning after the rough start + missed strike call.

The fans at this weekday afternoon split squad spring training game clearly miss the energy of the WBC.

I know he got roughed up a few days ago, but I still like Avila. Through 2IP with 0H, 0BB, 2K.

Both Sox pitchers have given up just a solo shot through 3IP. Dart fought some early command struggles but seems settled in now.

Pfft, striking out Trout is light work. We have Shohei at home:

It just had to be this way.

Honestly, Ohtani striking out Trout to seal the win is just too cinematic to not happen. If home/away were swapped, Trout would walk it off. Some things are just meant to be.

Do you pinch hit for McNeil leading off the 9th?

This might be the closest play at first I've ever seen.

Well apparently no one can throw McNeil a strike, I guess.

Baffling to see people still blaming Team USA pitching when the score is 3-1.

Solid glovework from TA to start a 4-6-3 DP.

This is neat.
