Autumn Dreamin Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Mune spoke to a media little before today's game. Said he's not too familiar with the crosstown rivalry but wants to learn. Teammates, coaches, etc. have made him feel really welcome and comfortable. Specifically shouted out Vargas as working closely with him and being available to give advice. He says the biggest adjustment is the timing/tempo both at the plate (pitch clock, higher velo) and on defense. He got asked about how he feels physically given how much he's been practicing (Shomon has mentioned he's a guy you have to coax out of the cages for a break rather than having to prod him into more work), and he said he feels good. He was reportedly lobbying to play in every ST game before he leaves, but today said he's expecting to play in around 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always appreciate it against the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 1 hour ago, Autumn Dreamin said: One thing I've taken from watching and reading (translated) WBC Asian prep is that they take injury prevention quite seriously. Perhaps more seriously than NA based players who have a "win a job" mentality sometimes. Most of the comments on a KBO spring game are basically just "avoid injury, go through the motions otherwise". It's an approach I wish more US pro teams would take, although I get it's a fine line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
