DeJong batting cleanup.  Impressive.

Hard to believe we're basically halfway through spring training. So far it's been a decent spring other than the results. We're going to suck ass of course, but team health is good and there's been some positives with the pitching projects.

The primary two positives are the starting pitchers overall, especially Crochet, and the health and performance of Eloy and Yoan.

The two disappointments have been few standout relievers stepping up, though there is still plenty of time on that front, and the large number of veterans which look to be a distraction and usurpation of playing time from mid 20s players.

 

 

Kopech off to another brilliant start...

I know they have to give Kopech every last chance, but I’m really looking forward to the day he’s out of the rotation…or on a different team. 

Be patient guys, Kopech is a 5th year rookie

Then again...

Real good teams like the Rockies are going to punish you for mistakes. 

It’s really amazing how bad this offense has performed, even though it doesn’t matter.

I would say its not amazing at all, in fact, pretty much expected. This team is going to be hot garbage.

The main thing I want to see is how long we have to watch these washed up vets on the roster before they let young guys get chances. How long will we have to watch Sheets gets rotated between DH/1B/OF before they finally cut the cord.

Sheets is the young guy compared to most of these bums

The will also pay millions more over the MLB minimum for the privilege of converting these NRIs to the 26 man roster, without helping the short or long term.

If there is no footage, did it really happen, or is it just hearsay?

Wonder if there were any issues with Stassi after he singled, moved to third on Remillard's GR Double, and then was pulled for a pinch runner before Shewmake's final out.

There is no existence. Everything is just data.

Another spiritual victory. Just imagine nine Chris Getz type players in your lineup. 

11 hits, one run. White Sox baseball!

“This is White Sox baseball corpseball.”

Like so many of these guys Kopech has done nothing but disappoint. Will be glad when he is out the door.

Getz is the Branch Rickey type GM.

Jerry wants Getz to find 170 David Ecksteins.

Pee Wee Reese would be more like it.

They should have replaced him on base with Maldonado. Remind him what actually being on base is like.
