Spring Training kicking off and we haven't missed a step.

Outscored 20-9 in our first 3 last year.

22-9 this year.

Buckle up boys.

yeah, but my bb instinct still says spring training doesn't mean a thing. i'm trying real hard (you know it's not easy for me ) to be patient and let them shake out the team and at least start to see some improvement.
but i'm sure not going to pay mlb to watch the games this year!
