chitownsportsfan Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Eaton's body language is awful. Can't afford a slow start from him. Who cares it's the last week of spring but what a lolly gagging walk to the dugout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are watching different feeds because that looked like a moonshot off the bat to me, and Frazier reacted accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think the league has juiced the balls this year. Not only are guys hitting a lot more homers, they are clearing walls by a huge margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are guys hitting a lot more homers, they are clearing walls by a huge margin. Good spring training stats are annoying to find, but best I can tell, home runs are happening every 31.9 AB's league-wide this spring, compared to every 40.5 AB's last spring. That's an enormous increase. Not saying juiced balls are definitely the reason, but was curious to see the numbers for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of 80s and 90s even early in March. The usual highs are in the low 70s I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 3m3 minutes ago Nate Jones having a dominant spring. Hasn't allowed a run, gets his 11th and 12th Ks to finish the inning. Has walked 1 in 8 appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 If Nate Jones keeps up his dominance & Petricka, Putnam & Albers can continue to do what they usually do, they're are going to win a lot of games because of it. Not nearly as dominant is the Royals pen but even something like it is going to make them win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
