But on the good news front Jerry gets to take a swim in his pool of gold.

It looked like a first baseman throwing long toss off his heels.

That was an interesting route.

He is definitely up there trying not to fail. He is jumping on the first pitch and is just off of it by a bit. The minute he goes down a strike, its over. Maybe getting the first base knock will fix this. But he is way off right now.

Jesus Christ all Yermin does is just hit.

whoever is working with these guys on D is doing a spectacular job.

Covid is over for him. He needs to now prove that 2019 was him getting better and not just a mirage.

I think Rodon is going to be good. The only question with him is staying healthy and throwing strikes. If he does both of those and he will be fine.

I saw Brian Anderson look like a god of hitting every Arizona spring training. Then the minute we go North and the curveball starts doing curveball things he was meat. Spring training is an illusion.

Tell him to put the wine down. Its not helping.

If he cant crush RHP as a lefty hitter then we are in a world of hurt.

Moncada has to get this head out of his ass. Is he a good hitter or is he just a bad hitter who had a single good season. The anomaly.

That look like the white sox kryptonite. An above .500 team. They don't know how to beat those.

Well he has to learn the new game. The game he managed was 12 years ago. They did things different back then. Lots of new fangled technology and rules to get in his noggin. Plus all of those stats are having a hard time coming up on his Nokia Flip.

Age is only a number. 80 is the new 50.

Maybe Maddon told him that there is a Country Kitchen Buffet that is closing in 20 minutes.

Wait how exactly did that get past Nicky. Oh, he is built like a 13-year-old. I forgot.

All of that setup due to Nicky Madrigal having a brain cramp running the bases. I like the outcome however a normal pitcher throws him out by 20 feet looking stupid.

His protection is now gone. He has to do it all himself .

Everytime.

I am now waiting for Billys Mom to score that correctly on game changer. A hard hit ground ball, Jimmy scored from 2nd. RBI to Billy.

Maybe beating the Royals and Tigers at a near 800 clip was more of the fool's gold. We didn't beat anyone 500 or better. We beat up on crap teams and squeaked in with a change to the format that allowed more teams to play in the playoffs. Under normal playoff rules, we are home watching again.

So Robert cant hit the moving pitch. Well, luckily there isn't a specialty that teams have that could chart these things and tell the pitcher ahead of time to throw him curveballs and sliders into the dirt over and over.
