TL will get that ironed out. Tony gets after the little stuff that is annoying. His fielders throw to the correct base as another example that some managers never get right but Tony does.

Very insightful !

I believe most of us will see that TL makes baseball decisions more in line with our own individual thoughts. If you are playing...it's because he sees you as the best choice he has. His lineup decisions will be interesting and will change as does player production.

I was actually poking the tiger in jest. Madrigal is one of my favorites (as most here know) and I was taking the opportunity to point out that little sparkplug guys often get things going. Noone on this site has seen more Spring training games than me. I am well aware they are meaningless.

How did you feel about Friday's game or today's?

Our offense has been lifeless. Sure glad Madrigal starts playing tomorrow. Need some small ball energy to spark the team.

I love this pitching staff!!! Almost as good as the offense. What a year this could be.?

I would like to showcase him for the two-weeks Vaughn needs minor league experience wink-wink. He will be worth something when NL goes with the DH someday.

I'm loving this comment.

Katz is the man.?

I do like the sound of that...but seems a bit like bragging.

Can Reylo be fixed by Katz... is one of the interesting storylines of Spring Training IMO.

Same for me. Sox would be running away with this if it weren't for us.

Part of this is the probability that some minority owners are ready to get out for their own estate planning. These are all rich people by ordinary standards.

When I was about 10 years old... I learned that our Spring Training record meant absolutely nothing. Enjoy the games for what they are...a harbinger of Spring.

Seems obvious IMO.

I think it makes a ton of sense.

They could have invited more kids if arms are in short supply. It would be the thrill of a lifetime for some AAAA types.

If I had paid to see six innings of baseball yesterday...I would be most unhappy. There is way too much screwing around with the game these days IMO.

I agree. My preference is an extension... but send him back for a few weeks if necessary. The extension is in everyone's interest.

By awful game...I was referring to the non-baseball rules.

Ruiz looks good. A bright spot in an awful game.

I know where you are coming from. Good tools.

Eloy...Anderson...Anderson Madrigal would challenge Anderson for hits but Anderson batting 1st vs 9th is a big benefit to TA.

Tomorrow is the big day. Baseball is back!
