Falcons sign Tua. Did they do it mostly because he's left-handed? 1.3 million is a good deal for someone who could still show something or could end his career with one hit. But some of these contracts are crazy. I know we all wanted Mandelbaum Manbdelbaum Mandelbaum but the Raiders lost they damm minds with that deal. Lions get serviceable and affordable O-Linemen. Solid, but not great players. There's always the draft.

So he can come up and hit .205, which is probably 20 points higher than Riley Greene will hit this year.

I disagree with this "it's only spring training" narrative. I don't care what the team's record is, but guys need to start locking in a bit before the regular season starts. I would say after St. Patrick's Day is the time they need to really start getting into a groove. As gehringer_2 said, I don't think there's a magic switch that suddenly goes on when they arrive in San Diego. Especially when you consider the pitching will be a lot better and more consistent once the real season starts.

Hey, Parker Meadows got a hit today. An actual hit !

Hard to critique it because I am sure they aren't done putting it all together, but I don't miss the betting lines constantly scrolling. The graphics look simple and I love that. Let the game tell the story. And I don't know what has changed, but when it was Fan Duel and Bally's there was a constant problem with the audio going out of synch and being 4-5 seconds ahead of the video. I'd have to exit out and go back in, but it would always happen again. I watched for about an hour and change yesterday and that did not happen, so I hope that continues. One thing that's weird is when you watch older games on cable channels or you tube - in the era before they had the score on the screen (that was a Fox innovation), it's very frustrating. I think the people that replay those games should include an overlay. Just a basic one (Score and Inning or score and quarter/clock) When Fox first got football they made some great changes - like the first down line on the screen was another (some people still think the players can see that). I do wonder if they could actually put a laser line on the field for the players and refs could see where the line actually is. Seems like there could be something electronically they could do that could trigger whether the ball has crossed the line.

The next 3 games are the season.

I was able to watch the game today.

That's not buffering. That's just how Andy Dirks talks.

But I hesitate with that because I feel like I am going to sign up and then log in and they're gonna tell me I can't watch my local team - at home or on the road.

So, they have no app yet? So I can only watch through a computer? Someone help me with this. They don't have a deal with Fire stick or anything like that yet? I'll pay monthly because I really don't know what I'll be getting yet.

Meadows can't hit subpar pitching. Meadows couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Parker Meadows with a robust .056. Is that also is OBP ?

Red Wings just got much shorter...........

One more thing........... Oh wait, wrong Faulk. Never mind.

Go Faulk yourself.

Rasmus Ristolainen. What are they giving up for him?

The advantage that Perez has is being a switch hitter who can play all three OF positions and probably infield in an emergency (like AJ overusing his bench and having to go to extra innings). With so many left-handed hitters, someone who can bat right handed needs to be on the roster. But Meadows is absolutely in a prove-it year. I know Max Clark is not blowing anyone away yet, but he's waiting in the wings. Jace Jung is in a big prove-it year too. I know he hasn't had many chances, but he'd better make the most of whatever chances he has this year. But maybe he's better off in a different organization without so many roadblocks. Trey Sweeney is on the way out - if Max Anderson or Kevin McGonigle get a roster spot.

McGonigle is the King of Spring. He'll never ever do anything when the games count. He's a bum !

He's had about 2 good months in August and September 2024. He's been invisible other than that. The last spot for the OF should not be between Vierlng and Jones, it should be between Meadows & Jones.

I'm not sure that's Pete Of course it's Pete, look at him.

Why did they call up Cossa?

The lead was weak? The f'ing lead was weak? YOU'RE weak . These are the new leads. The March game leads. And to you they're gold, only you don't get them. They're for closers.

why?

Y did they call up Cossa? Iz Gibson hert?
