It is completely irrational how much I don't want this meaningless unbeaten streak snapped by the MFY.

Red Sox: We're going to put out the worst lineup possible so we can shrug if we lose & lol at you if we win.

Yankees: Hold our Danish.

Danish's ineptitude is more tolerable when he's wearing pinstripes.

There's something melancholy (in a baseball kind of way) when a sort-of veteran who has gotten worse with each step up the pro ladder and is trying to get a job, gets crushed by a series of minor leaguers in March. That has to suck.

Jackass Yankee announcer: "How would Nomar or David Ortiz have handled the pitch clock with all the time they wasted?"
No mention of St. Jeter calling time out after every single pitch of his career though, of course.

I know it’s spring training and more than half these guys will be nowhere near the big league club, but it is pretty nice to see that zero in the loss column.

It may not say much about the success of the big league club in 2023, but the extra guys beating the other teams' extra guys *might* say something about the future.

Howdy, Sprowl! I was just thinking about your garden the other day as I looked first at my seed catalog and then the meadow deep in snow.
We've had 41" of rain since Jan 25, so the garden is a little bit soggy. It couldn't be greener.

I was just alerted to the fact that a) we remain invincible b) with a bunch of milb kids even but also c) Danish is apparently a MFY now and d) I like him way more that way.

What a spring! Baseball is fun!

Crook is trying to steal a spot in the opening day roster.
I thought I saw Crook play in Wrigley last year, but then I saw that he only played four games with the big club and spent most of the season in Iowa, so I began to doubt my memory. Then I saw that three of those four were against Boston, and I realized that yes, I did actually see him pinch hit in the bottom of the eleventh inning of a Sox victory and strike out.

The game time was 2:47 minutes. That's usually a 3-2 game between these two teams, certainly not a 22 hit 11-7 game.
Ernesto Jerez on the ESPN Spanish side always says that a Yenkees Red Sox game is "more than 3 hours or your money back". So we´ll see how that goes.

Thought Frank Tanana's kid was toeing the bump there for a second. After all, the Blue Jays' main scouting resource seems to be checking in on former major leaguers' children.
