Colas got jammed trying to inside out the first pitch. 

A listened to an interview with Kelenic on local sports radio the other day and he said one of the things that he struggled with was that you don't necessarily want to be looking inside out as a starting point for your swing. He said he had to learn the difference between that and "keeping your hands inside the ball" which doesn't necessarily mean the same thing.

Harold working with him as a sports psychologist?

Their cheerleaders are better.  Search Rakuten Monkeys cheer team...would result in a 15% boost in Sox attendance but numerous annoyed wives and gf's lol.

The answer today is the Iowa Hawkeyes, lol.

Apparently Kelenic (and I didn't believe this for a second) had never been properly coached in the offseason.  That is the gist of what he was saying, including about his new swing approach. Honestly my impression from the video is that Kelenic is a headcase and will be at best a platoon OF over the course of his career.

RON DeSantis, your anti-woke, CRT-inspired/AP African American history hatin' namesake.

He always made me think of Jeremy Reed for some reason due to the over hype and coming from a non-traditional baseball state.

 

JR Birthday Party today...one year closer to the end of regime change.

Didn't foresee Ron DeSantis coming up in the first game thread of 2023 lol

Seeing if Cronin can translate his stuff into more whiffs is a definite ST story to watch

It's actually nice to hear Stone/Benetti/Our Chuck again and not Beckham.

And, if Benetti was instead assigned to work on ESPN with Robbie Hummel in IC...no comeback.

Robbie is so good on college hoops.

Grifol already failing to challenge Romy's legit stolen base.  Smh.

I now have my own third person verb, wow...that's almost as good as one of Benetti's delayed drum roll music and tv jokes from the 80s and 90s, with even late 70's disco thrown in to appease Stone Pony.

Well, today it was Rage Against the Machine.

Well, just like Sox fans feel like umps are always out to get them, Hummel 85-90% is seemingly on the side of Iowa opponents.  He's fine, but Bardo has always been much more complimentary.

 

Also, pretty confident Jackson Merrill vs. Colson Montgomery as the next great SS in baseball will be a very legit discussion by July.

 

And this one hurt...watching Jose Abreu in an Astros' jersey.  Just wiped out 33% of Ron813's schtick.

He's in mid-season form. Caulfield doesn't need no stinkin' spring training. 

Burger playing at first, which he should have been doing all along instead of wasting time trying to learn second base

lmao good thing this is Spring Training with mostly minor league players.
