lol at beltre, that guy loves baseball. Even having some fun in the last week of march, bare handing jackson's throw in after he flew out to CF for the 3rd out.

Eaton's body language is awful. Can't afford a slow start from him. Who cares it's the last week of spring but what a lolly gagging walk to the dugout.

good hustle from Rollins. Pretty well hit looping liner to RF was booted and he hustled into 2nd.

Hasn't he been pretty awful since the incident?

BOOM

this team is slugging, wow! 400+ plus bomb by Frazier, didn't even look like he got it that well.

Frazier annihilated that thing.

OUT GOES FRAZIIIAA.

 

Wow.

That ball was hit a very long way.

I think we are watching different feeds because that looked like a moonshot off the bat to me, and Frazier reacted accordingly.

I think the league has juiced the balls this year. Not only are guys hitting a lot more homers, they are clearing walls by a huge margin.

no sound from the bat and I'm half watching on a second screen at work. at first glance looked like he got it a bit off the end of the bat but yea obviously it was crushed.

sale has it all working today, excellent changeup to finish that inning.

Since March 16th, he is 2-24

Good spring training stats are annoying to find, but best I can tell, home runs are happening every 31.9 AB's league-wide this spring, compared to every 40.5 AB's last spring. That's an enormous increase. Not saying juiced balls are definitely the reason, but was curious to see the numbers for myself.

Been a very hot spring down there from what I can tell. Lots of 80s and 90s even early in March. The usual highs are in the low 70s I believe.

accurate throw from Avila but not exactly a cannon arm.

Eaton cannot get north quick enough. Just hacking up there.

Yeah, I was wondering if weather could have something to do with it. Here are the MLB AB's/homer last season by month.

 

Apr 37.5

May 34.3

Jun 35.7

Jul 34.6

Aug 31.3

Sep 31.0

 

Draw your own conclusions.

just questioning an idea..... has he been still tweeting , tweeting anything in general??

Great AB by Avila to see a ton of pitches and knock in the the two out runs.

The non-BA announcer is talking about the opening of Fenway.

 

STOP TALKING ABOUT OLD RED SOX STUFF.

Nate Jones having a dominant spring. Hasn't allowed a run, gets his 11th and 12th Ks to finish the inning. Has walked 1 in 8 appearances.

 

If Nate Jones keeps up his dominance & Petricka, Putnam & Albers can continue to do what they usually do, they're are going to win a lot of games because of it. Not nearly as dominant is the Royals pen but even something like it is going to make them win games.
