I envisioned a DAT Spring Training trip this year for those of us that could swing it, but it necame apparent to me that I'm not OT baller enough to pull it off this year.

CO ski trip during office renovations coupled w Ryder Cup trip end of Sept left no leeway in this year's travel plans, esp w the possibility of another WS.

I would eventually like to organize something for some of the regulars in W Palm. I can likely include a tour of the facility w some other amenities.

I was hoping to get some of those good stories that was kind of hinted at in the WS threads.

Hoyt managed to get through an inning without allowing runs so that's something.

What are your thoughts on Correa skipping the trip to do his part in a major disaster that President Trump was considered to be "indifferent," to?

Should the move by Correa be considered disrespectful to the president, or heroic to his island of origin?

I go with the latter rather than the former, but there is a debate for either side.

Have it on good authority he was working on his changeup today. Not concerned.

I don't give a shite either way. I don't care if he wore a Maga hat and kissed trumps arse on the podium or if he wore a F Trump shirt. I don't give a single shite.

Because of Games 2 and 5, I feel the same way.

I was not a fan of McHugh's twitter war (one sided) with Trump regarding an Atlanta-based politician, but if McHugh would have pitched better in the postseason, I would be more apt to let it slide (as it stands now, I'm pretty much indifferent).

I've been watching random regular season games, and in the handful I saw, McHugh pitched well, especially toward the end of the regular season. Hopefully we see more of that in 2018.

What's the latest on the Fisher/Marwin platoon in LF? And how do y'all see the DH situation working out?

Gattis will DH a lot. Yuli will also DH quite a bit when he comes back.

Fisher will play LF against rhp and Jake will play CF against lefties mostly.

Marwin and Davis will share 1b until yuli returns.

His change up wasn't effective because his velocity was down. I rarely saw it top 91.

I don't believe Marwin will be playing much LF in the regular season. He played it in the postseason because it's all hands on deck, and he gives your lineup extra pop.

In the regular season, he'll be giving infielders a day's rest, in addition to DH'ing.

I expect Marwin to play a lot of first base until Yuli gets back. All this translates to Derek Fisher being your primary LF in the regular season, either he or Marisnick, whoever is swinging the bat the best.

Keuchel looked good today.

Robson pitched for the first time since Feb and struck out 3 in 1 inning, no hits, no walks

Hector Rondon returned for the first time in a few weeks and pitched a 1-2-3 innings with 3Ks.
