Phillies putting on a power display! Bombs by Hoskins, Harper, The Mighty Quinn and some guy named Listi.

Also, I'm sure I've said this before but what were the Phillies thinking drafting a high school kid with the number one pick? I know Mickey is a cool name and all but there are a bunch of college guys drafted later that year that have all started contributing at the major league level. Nick Senzel, Matt Thais, Will Smith, Pete Alonso........

Here you go. Took a shorter drive to Lakeland to see the Phils play Tigers today. Weather is amazing....our lineup is meh. But Turnbill vs Arrietta on the bump.

Nick Martini is a name I’ve never heard that looked like a beast against trial Tiger pitching, absolutely jacked a shot. Some catcher named Guitierrez hit a grand salami too.

Spring baseball.....so I know this isn’t going to be a thing they work on....but Haseley gets a shift immediately every at bat. Get that kid a good bunt skill down the third base line.

Nice win today. Kingery 0-3 and strikes out every at bat. He seems lost. He may have been over rated.

How about Didi's 0-19, .000/.174. Looks like a bad dive for $14 million. Down with his BA, up with his money. But really, how can you pay a guy big money after he goes .238/.276 last year? Yeah, it's only ST though.

Today’s lineup consisted of mostly hopeless cases giving it a last shot. Good it wasn’t televised.

No more games after today. Spring training will be suspended. The start to the season will be delayed. I will probably suffer with drawing . It is what it is.

Revisiting Ruf, 33, after three years in Korea where he averaged .300/.400.

In 14 ST games, 28 ABs for SF, the Rufer is hitting .429/.469 with 3 HRs. Hope old leadfoot carries it over into the season, if it ever gets going.

Ruf was mis-handled by the Phils. They destroyed him and screwed with his head. I am a fan and wish him well.

No ST out here in Phoenix. All the stadiums are closed like most everything else. Looks like 24/7 Marshall Law. Flippin' people are crazy buying-up toilet paper like they are going to die. Damn idiots. Corona doesn't cause dysentery or diarrhea for cryin out loud. And if you are dead, ya ain't going to be wipin your ass either. What a bunch of fear-paralyzed, brain-dead idiots running around the stores like chickens sans heads!

I read that some MLB execs were tossing around the idea of using cactus league stadiums in AZ to open up limited baseball in May or June before zero fans. Doesn't seem workable.

Half the people in Giant Food today were wearing masks and certain items like frozen vegetables can't stay on the shelves. Seems like we've all been thrust into the Twilight Zone.

The Lone Ranger saw this coming! THE ORIGINAL MASKED MAN! No fears jvett, this will pass and baseball will be back!
