The game vs Giants is on CSN at 3.

 

Abreu has been scratched. Dan Black will start. Hope that ankle is ok.

Argh this high pitch RINGING

Yeah, it f***ing sucks.

Semien to Alexei looks pretty dang sweet.

Dang Blake sure can make some highlight plays...

Hopefully, potential trade-partner scouts are eyeing ADA this spring, and especially today.

 

This will be a fun at bat for Eaton

Panda looks so weird with all the lost weight haha

Rough inning for Nieto

2 straight MEATBALLS from Paulino leads to a 3 RUN HR

His stuff clearly hasn't returned to pre-injury form

Against the Padres regular lineup (besides Headley/CQ), Beck went 5 innings, 5 hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

As long as he's healthy and feels good...some out there are starting to worry about Quintana and monitoring to see how he bounces back next time.

So are they really back to looking at Axelrod as a 5th starter, with Surkamp and Rienzo out of camp for now?

 

I'd almost rather see Beck working with Cooper for one year and going through all those struggles than that.

 

Heck, might as well start Boggs or Cleto.

Boggs continues to struggle....no reason for him to make the club.

Jones, Belisario, Lindstrom and Webb are clearly above him. From there, you need a long reliever, which would be Petricka IMO.

Yep and also Downs and another lefty

Didn't they already send him out of camp?

 

Guess it also depends if they want to keep both Downs and Veal.

 

Don't quite understand why they don't want to get some youngsters more experience unless Veal's looking more like the 2012 version than last year's shadow of his former self.

Boggs's contract is dependent on him making the 25-man roster, right?

Why are Hawk and Stone fawning over the Twins right now?

No. Paulino will be the 5th starter. He has looked good at times. He will go into the season in the rotation and go from there.

Byron Buxton....maybe Hawk also doesn't know Sano's out for the season because he was out golfing and doesn't follow things too closely unless we're actually playing that team and he can hob knob with them around the batting cage.

Saw Hawkins bat a few times today. He has no plate coverage at all. Unless it's on the inner-half, I can't see how he makes contact.

Isn't he working on shortening his swing? If so, this may be a symptom of it until he works it out.
