Yeah. I was really confused. I didn't think runners moved up for a pitch clock violation.

Wait, if you commit a pitch clock violation while there's guys on base, they all move up a base? I thought it was just an automatic ball.

Had to be a balk.

I'm pro pitch clock, it's Spring Training so this doesn't matter, but...

a run scoring because a pitcher is 1 second late with the bases loaded is pretty lame, imo

I think the rule ought to be a pitch clock violation can't result in a strikeout or a walk. The pitch clock should not be deciding a plate appearance. Especially late in games.

Same, but pitcher rushed because it was almost an automatic ball. 

Nice scoop by Vaughn

Impressive outing for Burke.

The front office better be right pushing him so aggressively.

Nice play by Romy. Eloy would have either dropped that or crashed into the wall. 

Funny hearing Stoney say Benintendi has a fine arm….after he used to rip on it every game

Rommy doing Leury's role at minimum wage.

I like the pitch mix, and he’s a tall human being.  Needs to stop throwing so many up in the zone, but hard to tell for sure in Arizona.

Yeah no way Eloy makes that play w/o grievous bodily injury.

Oppo single for Eloy

Foster was one of the slowest pitchers on the team last year. Let's see how the pitch clock affects him.

Somewhere in Florida, Abreu was preparing a memorial.

Nifty play there by Popeye

What a play by Popeye

Leury Legend!

The ball explodes off Burgers bat, man

Burger is insane

Jesus Burger.

Burgers raw power is right up there with Eloy & Robert for best on the team

I guess we put swiss cheese on that?

Jake Burger BOMB

Remember when Burger singlehandedly carried this offense for like a week last year? Get this man a DH platoon job and he can wreak havoc on lefties. 

Burger playing himself on the team early.
