Threw a lot of strikes today...that was good enough with this line-up. It will be fascinating to see how long he and Scherzer can keep going.

Well, they scored a boatload of runs the last two days...so there's that.

Schmitt is a legit defender...retired Teel Braden laces a single through left side of the infield. 2/5 on spring.

Teel then Braden...

Hackenburg homer. Opposite field. 7-3

.348/1.071

Maton with another quality at bat.

Well...at least we have Ishbia and Kevin Durant as fans.

Drury has the most positional flexibility...well, other than Maton.

At least Murfee had a solid outing.

Amaya hit one 410 but unfortunately straight away CF.

Loveland of Michigan the other TE getting all the attention...almost more of a receiver than an end, like Kittle in his prime. Or Bowers, but a bit less dynamic.

Shuster getting crushed...almost another homer. Casey Schmitt bidding to make Giants.

There's nobody interesting until you get down to Braden and Wolkow. McCray lighting up Sox on the base paths...50+ steals guy in minors.

Twins with an 8 spot. Leaves Sox and Padres alone at the bottom in runs scored and both probably 3-10 after today. Doval just massacred Sox...has lost closer's spot but Posey won't trade him yet.

In shocking news, Martin Maldonado still doesn't have a hit yet this spring lol.

Makes 1985-89 Sox outfields led by Calderon look like Murderer's Row.

CS by Hackenburg...looks like he might have been safe.

Yaz homer...6-1. Barry Bonds has appatently been working with Giants hitters in recent days.

Colas hurt??? Jammed something on the dive. Had a great catch the inning before against Chapman.

Just play Maton in spring...or Gray. This lineup today is hopeless. Bad enough to make Andre Lipcius at bats almost compelling. No walks for SFG pitching stands out.

Bases loaded.

C Drew Dalman to the Bears Dalman wins his assignments with movement and leverage to offset a smaller frame (6-3, 300 pounds). He's a technician on tape, best suited for the zone run game, and his pass block win rate of 95.1% ranked ninth among centers with at least 500 snaps in 2024. (He missed time due to an ankle injury, though.) Chicago traded for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, and Dalman could fit right between them on the line. espn.com

"In the eyes of the public, the upcoming draft class consists of three top players, with Cooper Flagg being the clear one, and the Rutgers duo of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey being two and three. It feels crucial to land a top-three pick, despite other top players being excellent like Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe and BYU’s Egor Demin." Bulls currently 8th from the bottom at 24-38...6% odds for Flagg.
