2020 MLB Spring Training (4 Viewers)

[NREC34]

Lineup is out. Tucker not starting. Reddick in rf. Maldonado is catching. 

 

[Capella]

Is there a consensus on how to say Utz? Rhymes with 'nuts' or rhymes with 'boots'? 

I swear I used to know because I would call them all the time back in my filmmaking days, but, it's been so long I've forgotten how their marketing rep told me it was pronounced.

Nuts

 

[Eephus]

Yet Ned Yost has a World Series ring.

Baseball.

Bullpen management was one of Yost's strengths in the Royals' two WS runs.

 

[Capella]

Seems presumptuous but the Rays sold tickets for the next round today. So I’ll be glad if they win and if they lose uhhhhhhh I’ll save a tidy sum. Sheesh. 

 

[Gally]

I agree with the bolded. Just saying I understand the thinking, and don't consider it an egregious error.  Sending Kelly out for the 10th was an egregious error.

It was an egregious error sending Kershaw out to face Rendon.  I understand facing Eaton as that is a beneficial place for Kershaw to go after him.  But facing a right hander like Rendon was not necessary.  Use your pen and guys used to coming on in relief.  Kershaw did his job with Eaton.  Be done there. 

 

[Sideshow Bob]

I was trying to figure out getting to LA for a game or two, so definitely better for the wallet that the Nats won.

You ought to go ahead and buy. I think the Rays got this.

Ohhh I did 

 

[Joe Mammy]

Ohhh I did 

Buy 6 and flip 4 to "we'll pay anything NY'ers". There was huge demand for extras at Ferg's on Monday.

I should have 

 

[Joe Mammy]

Cash did state he'd love to get at least 90 out of Glasnow. This game has all the makings of an under (7) and we all know what happens then- slugfest!

 

[Capella]

The people betting Houston at -265 right now must be insane. Not that Houston won’t win but that is a ridiculous amount of juice to be paying in a one-off game. Seems crazy to me.

It is.

 

[Capella]

It is.

Some Vegas casino guy on twitter just said they took a 1M bet on -265

Mattress Mack? 

 

[Joe Mammy]

Nerd Power in the starting lineup for the first time in awhile in the 5 slot.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

If you're assuming they win tonight, you might as well get them at +180 to win it all.  You're basically just betting on them to beat the Yankees at that point.

(No, I don't really see either NL team as a serious threat.  And I'm a lifelong fan of one of those teams.  )

 

[Capella]

Mattress Mack? 

lol I didn’t see the name 

 

[Exit 1]

God, wish I was at Scarletts Ybor City tonight with beer in hand, boobies in face, game on TV... :(

 

[Ron Swanson]

Go "stros. Made the trip to Minute Maid. Not a Ray's fan in sight.

 

[NREC34]

It’s gonna be crazy in there tonight 

 

[Ron Swanson]

Yeaaaaah!!@@

 

[Capella]

Welp 

 

[ffldrew]

Cardinal record from yesterday in jeopardy

 

[Ghost Rider]

Great start. 

Please win, Astros, and spare baseball fans from having to watch any more postseason games played this fall in that miserable looking sewer in Tampa. 

 

[ffldrew]

Might have to switch back to Leafs and Bolts

 

[Capella]

What the #### is cash doing???????

 

[parasaurolophus]

Well this is dumb

 

[Joe Mammy]

Those look like good pitches. Just getting hammered.

 

[Osaurus]

Ugh 

 

[Joe Mammy]

Nerd Power in the starting lineup for the first time in awhile in the 5 slot.

WHACK!

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Because of his long track record of success in similar circumstances?  The Dodgers are one of the most analytical based teams in the majors.  Play the shift as much or more than anyone.  Joc hits 30+ bombs a year but they don't let him face lefties.  It's all by the book.  Why not look at Kershaw's post season book to see if that's what you want to let your post season life depend on?

Yeah this

Plus.....why couldn’t they just use Maeda and Jansen? Why the sudden urge to bring starters out of the bullpen in the playoffs?

Its ####### stupid 

 

[Joe Mammy]

Looked like Glas was settling down, so Cash yanks him. Here we go through the pen.

 

[NREC34]

This guy Adames is a pretty good SS

 

[Capella]

I’m fine with it. Bullpen is the strength of the team. 

 

[NREC34]

I agree with the announcers. The Astros are letting them hang around right now. 

 

[ChiefD]

Girardi is so awesome to listen to. Pierzcynshzbsgeyzbzhsjski is growing on me too. 

 

[Chemical X]

how does that TB lineup get to a game 5?  d’arnaud for 4 hitting cleanup?

 

[NREC34]

William Shakespeare now on the mound for the Rays

 

[Capella]

how does that TB lineup get to a game 5?  d’arnaud for 4 hitting cleanup?

He was pretty decent for a catcher all year but has been a dumpster fire in the playoffs. No idea why he’s hitting at 4 tonight, was 6/7 all playoffs. 

 

[eoMMan]

Fyi, you guys aren't missing much with Giants/Pats. More points in baseball game.

 

[Chemical X]

d’arnaud traded for 2 cy young winners.  trivia question; name them.....

 

[Ron Swanson]

Holy pitching changes, Batman.

 

[Joe Mammy]

I'm not googling but if IRC D'arnaud came for like $850K from the Dodgers. I have no idea of his previous trades. He was the RBI leader of the team most of the second half of the season.

D'Arnaud and Syndergaard for RA Dickey was 1

 

[ChiefD]

Holy pitching changes, Batman.

They gotta clean this up. Ridiculous. Aren’t they being limited next year?

 

[NREC34]

That’s a big league SS play there 

 

[Capella]

Are the Astros going to pay Cole this offseason? This is ridiculous. 

 

[NREC34]

Are the Astros going to pay Cole this offseason? This is ridiculous. 

I hope so. 

Springer too. 

 

[Ron Swanson]

Man  I hope so. Tough though.
