So far this spring Bregman is hitting like a real shiksa.
He is going to leave a lot of silver on the table if he doesn’t figure it out.

He always sucks to start?  Isnt that the deal?

[Mo Horn 8899]

Nice day of hitting. Gonna be tough to Loperfido down. He's done everything he can do to make the big team

[runthebone 8131]

You think Bregman's contract is going to depend on his ST production?

No ABs on the big squad.  He needs to play everyday not rot away on the bench in Houston

Yep. He’s our guy to bring up and play everyday if there is an injury at one of the corners imo. If not he’s utility guy in 25 and take over for Tucker in 26, I believe.

Ryne Stanek has agreed to a deal with the Mariners, per source.

I thought his stuff looked pretty good.

got Harper on 3 pitches in one AB on three different pitches.

2 of the runs were on a HR by Stott that I’m still trying to figure out how he kept fair as far inside as it was running 

[Scraps 13598]

Ah shit

[UTexasFight 9603]

If Yordan is hitting anywhere other than #2 tomorrow, so help me…

[Scraps 13598]

Altuve leadoff donger

[Dutchrudder 11159]

Nice diving catch by Chas to end the inning and strand a runner on third.

Leadoff, first pitch homer by Altuve!

To be fair, does anyone after the ~6th inning?

[Captainant 27970]

Lol it's wild seeing the Bananas in Minute Maid

 

[UTexasFight 9603]

Kalas and Blum look….different

 

 

[UTexasFight 9603]

Going to scout this to see how many of these guys are better than the cabbage, I mean garbage, we are trotting out there trying to secure a bench spot on our squad 

[Captainant 27970]

Woooooo!!

I don't get the appeal but I also think the globetrotters are dumb

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Jose Urquidy this spring. 

3 games, 9 IP, 1.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 6 K. 

It's just spring but it's been good seeing how consistent he's been. His changeup looks good as well.

Me either, but I actively dislike most things widely regarded as “fun.”
