I assume all pickoff moves are balks now. They are gearing up for huge scoring boost. Probably will be throwing superballs wrapped in cowhide. You mean we all get to use the balls they used for Yankees games last year? 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody asked Don Sutton (or Freddie Garcia) why he took so much time between pitches. Answer: Waiting for the pain to go away so I can throw the next pitch.

Nice! I am flying down there with my kid as well on the 9th with my kid. First time I’ve been down there since the 2007 spring training. Pretty pumped to get a week of games in. Last minute unplanned let’s go do this trips are the best for sure Edited February 25, 2023 by Vote4Pedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Best long shot name to make each team's roster... "White Sox: RHP Edgar Navarro Navarro earned strong reviews for his 2022 Minor League season, during which he posted a 3.64 ERA and .188 average against over three different stops, along with 69 strikeouts in 54 1/3 innings. But the non-roster invite has taken another step forward during the early stages of Spring Training, earning praise from manager Pedro Grifol. Describing Navarro as possessing “power stuff” with an “elite sinker,” Grifol was looking forward to seeing Navarro in Cactus League action. The White Sox have a number of candidates for one or two bullpen slots, and Navarro appears to be one of them." -- Scott Merkin https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-opening-day-roster-dark-horse-candidates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 "Sánchez is still young and was identified as an intriguing prospect as a teenager. Baseball America considered him the #3 prospect in the Angels’ system going into 2015. Many years have passed since then but the southpaw threw 146 Double-A innings in 2019 with a 4.44 ERA and 3.40 FIP. After two mostly lost seasons, he didn’t quite match that production in 2022, but perhaps he will find better results now that he’s further removed from his lengthy absence." mlbtraderumors.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see this ever working. It’s not like football where you still may lose a challenge, you’ll know for sure if it was a strike or ball and it seems like that would be challenged constantly all game and end up slowing the game down. I would rather they just keep human umps making judgement calls, but doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
