Autumn Dreamin

Spring Breakout will be shifting to a prospect team tourney instead of just one off exhibition games starting next ST. White Sox lead the list for potential favorites (joined by LAD, MIL, PIT, STL, TBR, WAS) based on projected farm strengths

Mune sweeping the sports front pages in Japan He went 0-3 in their first warmup game, they'll play another tomorrow before the real games start

Hicks doesn't skip his PFPs

Kay being at 96-97mph is nice, he was a ~94.5mph guy last time he was in MLB.

Austin Hays, Cubs killer? Both of his spring HRs are here at Sloan.

Casual 1.500+ OPS for EQ, who also leads Cactus League in RBIs.

Mune taking BP with Samurai Japan. Sounds like they might have him and Okamoto might end up playing their projected MLB positions after all which seems smart. They have enough defensive concerns in the OF as is.

Seems like he'll be ready for game action soon

Some noticeable improvements on the basepaths so far this spring

Quero is so good. Another RBI, this time a double.

Fedde done after 2IP. No hits, one walk, 2K. Dominguez in for the 3rd

Quero is a run producer. Sends 100mph back up the middle for an RBI single

105.6 EV for Gonzo, but to exactly the wrong spot

RBI triple for King George

Teel finally on the board with a hit

Wouldn't happen here 💦 (Also, they couldn't give him the courtesy of "lower body injury" or just "an infection"?)

Still undefeated in the televised games, which bodes well for the regular season

The trade was primarily for Sandlin. Any value from Hicks or the PTBNLs is a bonus, though I do expect Hicks does well enough back in a pen role to get flipped.

I guess primarily the look? One of them compared it to a woman that he'd turn around and leave if he saw her waiting at a blind date...which is potentially more revealing about him than the ballpark.

Make that 9 up and 9 down for Cannon.

Reds radio crew is apparently quite unimpressed by Camelback Ranch. Cannon is apparently unimpressed by the Reds batters, as he retires them in order. Sox return the favor and Lee, Peters, Meidroth go in order too. Antonacci in for Chase, Bergolla in for Colson, Dustin Harris in for Beni on defense. Official word on Acuna is that he left with a cut above his eyebrow that needed to be stitched up. Strikeout and two flyouts for Cannon's second inning. A lot more 4seam in the mix today, and it got him a 6 up/6 down outing.
