Dude. Just when I'm getting to where I don't think you're a mud covered frickstick, you go and say something that a typical mud covered frickstick would say.

You need to relax and enjoy the possibility the dude may work out. No need to point out the obvious all the time.

Fool you once......

Not sure what the guy has done to make anyone think he doesn't suck.

Centeno, Brignac, Fisher and Davis were told they weren't going to make the team but will remain in camp.


So really only 5 players left to trim down

I'm actually really intrigued by Morton, he seems to fit the mold of a McHugh type guy that our staff has had some success in making into a decent back of the rotation guy.

Morton is 32 and has been a decent pitcher for a while.
McHugh was absolutely awful until the Astros picked him up off the scrap heap and turned him into a steady mid-rotation pitcher. Miraculous really, and it's stuck for several years.

Looka this sexy lineup. It's regular season-ish (sans rest for Carlito):

Yep, that lineup basically tells us what opening day should look like, with Correa 4th and everyone behind him sliding down one spot

Now put Yung Tuck in there. That's what I dream of anyway.

It's gonna be Fisher when Luhnow trades away Martes/Tucker. #InsertSadPanda

Sad if true. I was about to put these in my office.

Classic McCullers today. Pushing 75 pitches with 1 out in the 4th. 5 hits, 2 hit batters and 4Ks.

ETA: and he gets knocked out. 3.1IP 83 pitches 6 hits 4 runs 4K

There's a lot to like with Lance this spring. He is definitely throwing more strikes (only two walks and one HBP in 12 innings with 18 Ks).

If this new delivery sticks (and it should because he looks very comfortable now), Lance can actually learn how to command his fastball. During the regular season, he will still throw more curves early until he trusts his location with the fastball.

That's a good contract for both parties.

I don't hope for any player to get injured. But if that a-hole suddenly developed a hitch in his swing which exposes him to curveballs, I certainly won't be upset about it.

Lance told Tags after he came out of the game that he was throwing more changeups again, even in counts he normally wouldn't, to continue to work on the pitch. Again, a reminder that it's only spring training.
