What a play by Popeye

Foster was one of the slowest pitchers on the team last year. Let's see how the pitch clock affects him.

Nice play by Romy. Eloy would have either dropped that or crashed into the wall.

I think the rule ought to be a pitch clock violation can't result in a strikeout or a walk. The pitch clock should not be deciding a plate appearance. Especially late in games.

Yeah. I was really confused. I didn't think runners moved up for a pitch clock violation.

Wait, if you commit a pitch clock violation while there's guys on base, they all move up a base? I thought it was just an automatic ball.

Was that a balk?

Yaz is 2 for 2. There's a chance that hit right there is caught with a shift.

How long until Yoan pulls a Jose Valentin and gives up switch hitting? I've never seen Yoan try to hit left on left though, so there's a chance it could be worse.

And Andrus makes a nice diving play at 2B.

On a team with so much raw talent and raw power, what I said should never be said.

If you watched the games last year, Andrus was honestly one of the only guys who seemed dangerous at the plate.

Not scoring with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs? That's so White Sox. Also I'd like to take this time to make the case for Vaughn hitting 5th, ahead of Yoan.

And that's probably the worst time to pull the ball. Cause a grounder to third doesn't move runners up or score runners from 3rd.

If his elbow is indeed fully healthy after his injury in 2017, then there's a chance the resurgence is real. We can cite his numbers the past 4 years all we want, but if the guy played with a bum elbow all those years and it's finally healthy, then those numbers might not mean much.

TA doubles in Andrus.

Rodriguez almost pulled an Eloy

lmao Elvis Andrus is gonna prove everyone wrong isn't he?

I have a feeling the pitch clock is gonna decide a game or 2 this year. Relievers, especially closers, love taking their sweet time. I seriously hope they adjust the pitch clock rules in the last inning of the game.

Relax Jack, it's the 3rd game of Spring Training.

Nice tag by Elvis

Lopez is playing it real close on the pitch clock.

It sure would be nice to know how hard everyone is throwing...

TBF, Yaz took bad looking swings when he was still good. He needs his power back to have a come back.

Grandal looks to be in much better shape. But the real question is what kind of shape his back is in.
