2025 Spring Training Thread

If he can show he can hit in Tacoma, with how crappy this infield is at defense, he may be the first called up

Absolutely. At this point, we don't even know if Polanco will be ready to start the season.

 

[NWinAZ]

I think he is throwing with each arm not both...lol

 

[cezero]

just did a search about the m's and clicked on an article about garver on "Seattle Sports" that is straight bullshit, of course. very funny stuff. super predictable with a bunch of extra shit about haniger and polanco.

and there was a live feed of brock and salk interviewing julio. fuck they're stupid. it's the equivalent of watching 2 apes throw feces at each other while a pro athlete tries to sound professional. zero knowledge about baseball and they seem so proud of it. makes sense that they're the regional media face of this pathetic franchise.

hopefully not. would love to see a prospect get a shot in that turd's place. complete dead weight. the myth of his "injury" is a really funny extra storyline the clowns in m's pr are going with.

there is no way any actual sports fan wants to see polanco, garver, or haniger in any starting lineup. it's revolting.

also, for anybody else who isn't giving root their money anymore, the m's/padres game is tonight's free game of the day on mlb.tv.

mlb.tv has tons of spring training games btw (i'm watching the dodgers/angels game right now). i didn't know it because i didn't sign up for it last year until the regular season was well underway.

this will be my first look at the m's in 2025. woo is usually a pleasure to watch so i'm looking forward to it. rizzs and furbush are both doing the commentary lol.

Kikuchi started today for the Angels, got subbed out of the game after throwing 25+ pitches in an inning. Then he was allowed to come back in (they let you do that in Spring Training) and got credited with a hold, LOL.

Ya I have watched a few M's games on MLB.com. I still don't know if I am going to buy Fubo for the M's or just stay with Hulu and not watch.

I didn't know you could do that but its spring so it doesn't surprise me I guess. Interesting though.

At least you won't have to see Scott's clueless look in the dugout

I honestly didn't even think of that. I really hated that constipated look he always had.

Hancock just did the same thing. He gave up two runs in the first, had one man on with two outs and they pulled him. He then started the second inning. So weird.

That's a great description! Those vibes gave off...ooops I fucked up the game again.

I truly believe in that. As a leader, your voice or expressions factor in to how your team will play. I coached youth sports for years and high school basketball as well and I was always the fired up guy. I believe that translates over to the players. Lou was my favorite and he always had his players back and they knew it from is reactions.

 

[Anointed One]

When are our starters going to start hitting in ST? Seems like the young guys are the ones doing all the damage.

 

[AceKeptic]

All I know is this:

If we see any of these so-called pitchers that gave up so much today against the WHITE SOX, OF ALL TEAMS...

If they even so much as see a spot in the roster this season...

You know we've sold completely.

 

[NWinAZ]

103 MPH. He is only 19.

 

[NWinAZ]

2nd hit of the inning for him. One from each side.

A very good video on a rundown of M's Top prospects by BA. 38 minutes but I enjoyed it. Learned a thing or two.
