Although it’s only spring training, I wish the offense showed a little more pep.

Tork got a single and stole a base. He’s like Ricky Henderson.

Maeda w/3.2 innings, 1H, 5K. On the face of it this looks good.

Aside from Skubal it looks like Fetter has his work cut out for him with the other guys who pitched today.

Jahmai Jones homers (1) on a line drive to left field. Dillon Dingler scores. Bligh Madris scores.

All their base are belong to us.

I’ve had nerve issues and it took a lot of time to heal in both an elbow and a shoulder. Of course I’m old and everything takes longer now.

This is really thoughtful thank you so much.

Greene has K’d in each of his three ABs today.

The collective no hitter against the Phillies comes to an end when Rojas singles off of Holton in the sixth.

Montero hurling at 97 MPH K’s three up and down in the 4th.

Mize goes 3 hitless and scoreless innings. Good news!

I don’t really care if they win or not because it’s just spring training, but I really do care and it bugs me when they lose. I wish I had an attitude of serene detachment, but I don’t.

Was trying to stay away from social media today but saw my banking app that mlb.tv. Automatically charged me $149.99 as an auto renew and I had no idea I was signed up for that. I got on the phone with them and they assured me that they have refunded it but I’m just waiting for my banking app to update showing it. It’s kind of annoying. Especially because I got the last quarter of the season for only 20 bucks with a special deal last year.

I can only go back so far in the pages of this thread without messing with myself psychologically and emotionally, so if this has already been seen, here it is again. I can only stand just so much exposure to political social media, and although I don’t think we’re going to tame capitalism with boycotts, if this is the only thing I can do, I’m in. I’ve run into a number of people socially who are talking about this. I’m not going to buy anything Friday, although I might go to a Mexican restaurant tomorrow because I know the people there are good people and it’s a family owned place. I’m also going to go dead on social media and not even turn my TV on and for me this is not some sort of self involved conceit, it’s more or less what I’ve been reduced to and I’m admitting that this is what I’ve been reduced to right now. See you all in a couple days.

I guess it’s called spring “training” for a reason. It’s for training purposes, not edification.

Stretching out Maeda into three innings yielded three runs, but five strikeouts. So there is some upside to it and it is spring training.

Tork is channeling his inner Hank Greenberg.

Home Run Jake Rogers homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field.

So, are the pitchers way ahead of the hitters at this time of year?

On the TV broadcast, I noticed that AJ and Fetter were sitting on the steps in the stands to get a better view of the play on the field than apparently they can get in the dugout.
