OFFICIAL OFF SEASON THREAD ( 2017 )

Must be awful having to work today.

I wouldn't know......either.

Gomez gets turned around in cf.

And this is why it's called spring training.

Isn't Epland at ST? He hasn't been real active, but hopefully that's a good sign that he's having a terrific time.

Hopefully he's making some notes he'll share with us when he's back.

Yep, he is there. Hope he is having a blast.

Checking in from Surprise, been here since Sunday. Here's my report:

Beltre has been taking BP. No running drills. Same for Andrus.

Perez got shellacked today. Seemed like everything he threw was hit and hit hard. Griffin was actually overwhelming Trout before he plunked him. He looked decent.

Darvish had a thorough BP session with Brocail. His interpreter was present, and then was his catcher for some reason. Looked like they were focusing on stride + release point.

Lucroy made great contact yesterday. Napoli seems like he'll be feast or famine after seeing him for two days. Gallo did very little at the plate in the two games he was in, but looked serviceable in LF.

Headed home tomorrow.

And yeah it's been a great trip. Autos from Hamels, Dyson, Bush, Sadzcek, Barnette, Jeffress, Martinez, and Chi Chi. Lots of baseball, beer, and food. My buddy and I brought his 10 and 8 year old sons and they've had a blast. We drove out, so the next two days will be spent getting back to Waco, but it's absolutely worth it.

I'd feel weird asking another grown man for his autograph, but you're with kids so I guess it's ok.

I feel the same way about jerseys

It's a little strange, yeah. I didn't whip their asses about it, only got them if they stopped to sign for people.

We got a bunch of pics with the boys and the players, too, which was awesome.

It seems like we have a lot of injuries already this spring.

Seems like that, every spring to me. I wonder if they figured out the sleeping quarters so there aren't a bunch of back and neck issues again this ST

 

[jta4437]

Who's hurt?

I don't count Hamilton, he was/is never healthy

 

[DT LUNA]

Do any of you remember many injuries when at that young age when we were playing? I don't.

Beltre strained calf. All I've heard.

 

[jta4437]

Was Beltre a ST injury though?

No I think not.
