Ah, good to be back. Fuck Mania, Jays this afternoon and Negan debuting tonight. That's a good day. @Desolation Row It will be interesting to see if the Giants can make it back to the show, despite their disappointing showing last year.
Meantime, I'll be intently watching to see how the Jays' off season acquisitions/rumblings will do. We gave up Ben Revere and a chance at Price (who, while I still think it was kinda dumb, makes sense because of his...well, price). Saunders, Smoak and Pillar all had great springs. Let's hope they can continue that. @THANOS Your boy, Travis, really fucked up his shoulder, huh? Seems he'll be back around mid May, they're saying. Glad to see Goins getting the call to start. Thoughts on Sanchez being #5 starter?
Anyone else think it'd be hilarious if they did a storyline in the Fed where Braun Strowman's cousin was Marcus? And he came out, this little guy, with a huge fake beard and started doing his usual antics?
For real, Negan and Jays for me, with a side of Deadpool with the GF. Mania is in the back of my mind. I may check out the main event out of sheer morbid curiosity and to hear those boos in a "closed" Mania stadium for once.

I still like the Storen pickup, I think leadoff hitters are kind of overrated, though I don't like Pillar there. If it were up to me, I'd have Martin leading off until Travis returns. Martin has the highest OBP on the team outside of the big four and has decent speed.

It's weird with Travis. It was a freak injury to his collar bone, but it revealed a nagging injury that he was playing through for his entire minors career. He's not injury prone, imo, but it will be nice to seem him return when he's fully healed to put this behind him.
Sanchez really impressed me this spring. He honestly looks like a completely different pitcher. He has 5 pitches, which is crazy to consider, given that he only had 2 last season, and only really threw 1. We'll see if the changes are legit in the 1st month facing major league lineups.

:lol That would be hilarious, I love Stro! He had a good start today, and only 2 of those runs were really on him. That last one won't show in his FIP which is good. The interesting thing about his start today as well is he didn't throw a single slider or curve, to my knowledge. He only used his 2SM, Cutter, and CU and still managed a decent game with 5 K's. Once he has those breaking pitches working for him, let's hope the K's start to catch up to his career rate again.
Stroman was just pitching to what the hitters were doing. Rays were swinging at way too many first pitches. No need to break out any pitch you don't need to.
The HR was just a shitty pitch. He was down in the zone all day.
Archer definitely didn't have his best stuff today, but he was alright. Good number of Ks, but that was a rough first inning. 2 runs scored on 34 pitches...in his first showing. Ouch.
Good to see Tulo getting the longball. He was doing well in the spring, let's hope he keeps it up.
Polanco officially signed a 5 year extension with two option years. 35 mill guaranteed 60 if the options are exercised. Hope he's worth it and I think he's gonna be.
I wouldnt even know what to do if Span hit 40.. I would be so mind fucked that I wouldnt be able to believe it
