    Re: 2017 Spring Training Thread

    I care about nothing else besides the fact that baseball is being played again. This is a good as my life gets right now.

      For a SS roster, the Cubs seem pretty stacked toward this OAK game on WGN rather than the SF one. Heyward, Bryant, Rizzo, Zobrist, Russell, Schwarber, Baez, Contreras, Montero.

      Managed to plate 3 in the first few innings while the starters were in, so a good start. Bring on the kids!

      Edit: Oh wait, it's not so simple - the live box score isn't updating for that game. Schwarber, Baez and Montero (at least) are in the SF game.

          the roku app is amazing as well. For those who love there radio guys, a roku is a must for the radio overlay feature! I just hope when they update the app for opening day, the streams stay good and don't get messed up! A lot of times, they fix what's not broken.
          1458, not counting playoffs, that's the number of games in a row I haven't missed! Go Yanks!

              Other squad trying to make it a pair of Ws. Down 2 in the 9th, but threatening.

              Never mind, they lost.

                They had Red Sox game on MLBN today. I knew they had a "mini green monster" in their ST stadium, but I never really watched any games before. Their stadium looks nice.

                More teams should do things like that. Build their ST stadium to be similar to their MLB parks.

                  Sprinklers came on during the Reds/Indians game today. It's Spring Training for everyone.

                    It's literally Fenway South. They have the huge RF and the triangle in CF. It's a great idea so that the new OF we sign, draft, whatever can learn to play the OF effectively before the season starts.

                      Finally got WiFi on my laptop at the vacation resort I'm at this week. Time for Phillies and Blue Jays.

                      Saw Rogers Sportsnet has Hazel Mae as a sideline reporter. I forgot she went there after MLB Network.

                          Cody Bellinger and Alex Verdugo went deep today. Was nice to see.

                              It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                                Yea Farrell said early in Spring Training that he was going to have our left handed hitters start to bunt against the shift more often.
