Brinson K's on a tough breaking ball

Desmond gets 2nd hit today

If Dyson improves any, he could be real tough. Sinker is nasty

That guy is a stud. What a great pick up at the last minute.

He looks like he's got a rocket launcher at 3rd.

Will he start the year in Frisco?

That would be my guess, but I couldn't be sure

Yep thats a feather for JD's cap for sure

Wow that was a tough play Anderson just made for the Sox

TAMPA, Fla. -- Hall of Fame reliever Goose Gossage called Toronto Blue Jaysslugger Jose Bautista a "disgrace to the game" and blasted "nerds" for turning baseball into a "joke" during a 10-minute interview Thursday.

"Bautista is a f---ing disgrace to the game," Gossage told ESPN. "He's embarrassing to all the Latin players, whoever played before him. Throwing his bat and acting like a fool, like all those guys in Toronto. [Yoenis] Cespedes, same thing."

Here's the whole article, and ol Goose didn't hold back on anyone. Reading in-between the lines, he takes dead-aim-on the likes of Daniels.

Gossage rips Bautista, 'nerds' ruining baseball

Funny stuff. Makes me ready to play the Blue Jays again.

Today's game was pretty disappointing after ST had started so well for the Rangers. Not much in the way of offense today and NMart stunk. Chirinos said Nick didnt have much on his fastball and wasn't really locating it well. Hope they get back to swinging hot bats again tomorrow

Stinker of a line for Nick for sure. 2 innings and 7 earned is a tough one.

But on a brighter note, Desmond hit the ball hard in all 3 AB.

Desmond has some power. He should be good for 20 HR this season.

Hello, Win Column!

Good discussion here between Mike Bacsik and Jared Sandler about the Beltre contract decision.

Is it me, or has Ciriaco gotten some serious playing time so far?

He leads the team in ABs followed closely by James Jones and then Drew Robinson. I wouldn't expect either of the three to make the club out of ST though.

I think Odor's injury has caused his playing time to be elevated somewhat.

Oh, and I can't be sure if Fraley is being sarcastic or not, but the Brewers complex sucks and is in a pretty shitty part of town.

Yeah, I was about to call myself out on that. I should've picked up on that.

Guess they are trying to see what those guys can really offer, and want to give them as many opportunities as possible before they decide which route to go. Thinking they are trying to decide if either of them can fill a bench role at the ML level

SHIT!
