I just hope that new announcer grows on me. Because today was not enjoyable. Blummer was fine doing color but not the new guy

A lot of our young guys with swing mechanics and pitch recognition issues (Jake, White, Reed, Singleton, etc) don't seem to have made any tweaks.

This is what happens when we don't hold our hitting coach, who has failed at every stage of his career, accountable for his terrible work.

Quote:

He spent his winter focused on improving his swing, working long hours both in the cage and studying video.

"I mean I don't want to get into detail," he said, "but I definitely worked on a lot and I'm pretty excited about it."

I feel like Jake just is what he is. He's a great defensive player with premiere speed.

Nice platoon player on a deep team, but has no spot on a thin team where he would be forced into a starting role.

I agree. He's a plus 5th outfielder.

We are three games into spring training, where most guys don't even have 5 at bats yet. Let's hold off on casting judgement for at least a little while....

Can we bring back Brett Phillips, if only for the laugh? I'm not sure I've smiled as much at a TV segment in a long time.

Yea, go look at the prices for the following game. Significant drop, but that is the price you pay for opening day.

I've never watched the WBC. Maybe it's because it was a Selig invention and **** that guy.

F'in Brad Peacock gives up 4 in the top of the 1st

He belongs in the 'How the hell does this guy have a job?' category.

I agree, just came across it on twitter and thought I'd share it with the board.

I'm playing a game called For Honor right now and they have an emblem editor.

This is my current emblem:

The nets may help, but they're never going to do anything about the real issue which is people paying zero attention while sitting in a place where balls are being launched at their heads.

A lot of pitchers that had little chance of making the opening day roster sure do.
