        Love this time of the year. I'll be in Phoenix starting next Friday for every weekend until MLB 18 drops. Gonna be going to workouts for a few teams and a ton of games. Looking forward to it. Always my favorite time of the year.

          Going in a few weeks to watch some baseball, and I am excited! Going to catch Ohtani and the Giants for sure!

            LOL Tulo already has injury concerns as he's dealing with bone spurs in his foot.

            The guy has turned into a complete pumpkin here in Toronto.

            Oh well, nothing can dampen the spirits as it's officially the beginning of baseball season! (well sorta LOL)

              Can we discuss secret spring training here or does one need to make a separate secret thread for that?

              Please advise.

                I think that's safe to discuss here. I could be wrong, though.

                  Spoke with Tony and he advised that since secret spring training is not meant to be seen by the public we shouldn't see anything to talk about.

                      I'm not going to make the easy Fight Club joke about this...rather, I'll make a nonsensical one and just say his name was Robert Paulson.

                        Ah, gotta love Spring Training stories

                        You don't normally see a team's star exchange words publicly with (for the time being) a minor leaguer, but that's what happened on Tuesday. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times chronicled the kerfuffle, with Archer expressing his desire for Honeywell to -- well, stop talking so much:

                        "He talks a lot. I've already told him, until he gets some dirt on his spikes, he needs to keep it down a bit. I'm excited to see him pitch, but you can't do all that talking without ever throwing a major-league baseball in your life.''

                        Honeywell, perhaps not one for reading the room, offered some choice quips of his own. This was the most biting:

                        "I think the biggest thing is for the ace of the staff right now to be the ace, you've got to throw up some numbers out there. Impress me. Impress me. I'm not taking any shots at anybody. I'm not cutting him down. But I think that would benefit in the best way possible. … It's time to go now. This is go time for him this year.''

                              And this is the last day without it. ST games kick off tomorrow with the D-Backs playing the Arizona State Sun Devils.
