Flowers is f***ing huge.

Notes from the game already:

 

Beckham is ridic

 

Field's swing is totally different IMO. MUCH quicker with his wrists.

 

Allen could be a good reserve, not sure he can hit lefties.

 

Kroeger rakes.

Nice to see Beckham and Flowers going to the opposite field. Anderson almost had a 2 RBI double with that approach.

Something no one talks about with Fields last year is the human aspect of it. He had an extremely promising 2007 campaign, and then he gets sent back to the minors. We know he's a very spiritual, emotional guy, and that couldn't have been easy on him. Then he hurts his knee/leg, and he's having to play on one leg. When they interviewed him during an Okl St football game this season, he said people had no idea how injured he was.

I got the impression from press reports he hasn't been fully healthy since 2006.

Kroeger just misses one. I REALLY like his swing, effortless.

How many just out of college guys have this good strike zone recognition?

Kroeger 2 outs in the same game? Blasphemy!

with the exception of david price

 

That's right. Didn't Allen take Price deep in his 1st two at-bats against him?

Beckham has some weird batting gloves.

Beckham could use another 10 lb on his frame I'd say.

That was a cookie.

yep and up to that point i believe price had only given up 1 HR as a pro (only gave up 2 or 3 as a senior in college)

 

Beckham had a cookie there and he missed it

Allen actually put up an .830 OPS against lefties last season.

Beautiful Beckham. Back up the middle.

Solid single by Becks.

Does it appear to anyone else that he is loading his bat a little more?

 

2-4 for Becks.

unreal gordon, that was the best at-bat of the spring that i've seen

That AB was just boner-riffic.

What a beautiful hit by Slayer, wow.

Good ole Alexei.

Sexy, 9-2.

There's the Alexei I remember.

Impressive. It looked to me like he wasnt stepping in the bucket, but pulled his head off a little. COuld have been that particular guy.

 

 

Alexei is starting to get red hot.

More so than in College for sure. He looks to have more of a Sheffield-type swing now.
