Autumn Dreamin

In case we didn't already know...

Kinda want to keep Avila in the org if we can work something out.

Reylo getting some multi inning work ?

I continue to think it's unlikely we'll see a traditional "4th outfielder" on the bench.

Longish inning, maybe pushing a pitch count. He'll be back for the 3rd, I assume.

Leury with a double, not going down without a fight. Sheets RBI single, his second hit of the game.

Looks like a "make your case for a bench spot" lineup...

He played 100+ OF games last year, so I don't think that's a worry just yet.

Report from the backfields.

Kelly really uses the whole pitch clock, eh? Doesn't let it rush him at all.

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.
