    2024 Spring Training Stuff

    thanks for this. I was looking at the earlier picture of all the players to see how Bleis looks next to Kristian Campbell, who is apparently 6’3”. Bleis looks of good size in comparison and more built than I recall. Really want a good season for him.

    Minor League Thread 2024

    Seeing the odd way Romero had to be carried off the field last year when the back injury re-occurred was scary. I think this board or the SP board thought he had badly blown out a knee, if I recall. Will be happy to hear if he’s moving well this spring, as Mayer’s shoulder has looked in the...

    Formula 1 2024: Ferrari's Return to Glory. Possibly. Ok, Unlikely.

    A F1 podcast I listen to called Red Bull racing “medieval company”. The king died, and within a year, his lieutenants are knifing each other. definitely feels likes it Horner vs. Helmut Marko and Jos.

    Formula 1 2024: Ferrari's Return to Glory. Possibly. Ok, Unlikely.

    The Red Bull story continues to devolve. ESPN and other reporting Red Bull has suspended Horners accuser, with pay. heard a little about the texts. Thought they wouldn’t be sex pest stuff, but of course they were. Poor Ginger Spice, trotted out there at the race last week.

    Minor League Thread 2024

    Catching up on this thread reminded of how much fun some of these players may be to follow this year. If Alan Castro has a nice first 2 months, he could be in Portland not to long after turning 21, and that’s really interesting. Moreso if he keeps his eye for the strike zone and finds a little...

    Red Sox acquire Tyler Heineman

    Don’t think it is that binary a situation. Even if you don’t have prime pitching prospects, AAA/AA is where development continues and finishing can occur for a player now that they know what they need to work on to be useful to the ML club. The Red Sox seem to be setting up a system that...

    The Incredible Hülk Returns, 2023 F1 Season

    Or just general reliability. Ferrari ls always seem to break in the stupidest ways, while even in a reduced state last year, the Mercedes has always felt super reliable. I cannot see that going over well with Lewis when the power train and gearbox continually fail.

    Dude, don’t put your love of Rosier all on me. I’m actually interested if he’s a version of a type of player that comes back into use by teams as the rules changes re-emphasize baserunning and putting the ball in play, or will power always be the bigger factor for OFs.

    The Incredible Hülk Returns, 2023 F1 Season

    Of goddamn course it’s the team with Ricciardo and Tsunoda, the team I want to root for. Freaking marketing and finance guys, can’t stick with Torro Rosso.

    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    @JM3 You probably saw the interview with Blaze this week, but if he’s for real about his offseason work being to push to be able to stick at 3b more of the time, I wonder he gets a decent chunk of the playing time until he shows he can’t handle it. Contributing on the defensive spectrum would...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Mata would have to show out in the spring and win a job, which would be a good thing, I would think. I appreciate the summary RR. Doesn’t it seem like, if Bernardino is as decent as he seemed last year, he has a spot to start the year, and Campbell is optioned if Mata sticks? If Mata doesn’t...
