went to the spring training game today. $5 beers. SAID

 

[FLYguy3911]

I just grabbed Dylan Crews, Leodalis de Vreis, and Sebastian Walcott in my farm draft

Drafting minors? Sounds illegal.

Anyone take Caba?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Said it on draft day. The rich get richer.

Drafted him to my squad this year. Might have taken him a bit early, 9th round, 97th overall, but my next pick wasn't until 109.

He’s the real deal.

 

[Cody Webster]

He’s the real deal.

Here's my squad for the year. Don't love the pitching, but think I should be ok. The league started back in 2007 and I've made the playoffs maybe 5 times lol.

Langford went right before I got to pick Crews

No. I don’t really see a reason to. Probably better baseball player than fantasy player

Picking Semien 1-1 isn’t a great start to changing that lol

He was my keeper lol.

You're allowed to keep up to four players, but can only keep two you kept the previous year, so you can't have the same four keepers year after year.

 

[BiggE]

They were getting after it.

He’s now John Tortorella’s favorite baseball player.

Phillies look ready to start the season.

Wheeler went 5 1/3 allowing 1H, no walks, no runs and 5 K's.
Alvarado finished the 6th (2/3 0H, 0R)
Hoffman pitched the 7th (0H, 3K, 0R)
Dominguez the 8th (1H, 1K, 0R)

Gregory Soto came in to the pitch the 9th with the Phillies winning 3-0.
4H, 4R, 2 HR. Phillies lose 4-3.

Sounds about right

Wow look at you digging into the scouting reports. If only you spent this much time on updating your list.

With the caveat that the Phillies don’t really have success with these guys, he looks really really good.

 

[wankstifier]

He must be eating so much popcorn

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They’re painting Ohtani as if he’s on the spectrum or something with the amount of things they claim he’s incapable of doing/knowing. They’re doing this all despite the fact there’s previous evidence out there that suggest otherwise.

Like he doesn’t American culture, he doesn’t know sports outside of baseball, he doesn’t know English, etc.

 

[Halladay]

There is no way he didnt know. You cant wire $4.5 million without knowing.

 

[Flybynite]

I mean even the 'updated' story makes less sense. If you wanted to say his TRANSLATOR/FRIEND either had access to Ohtani's financial transactions to pull this off (either previously approved or could fake it) the 'updated story' said that he transferred $500,000 at a time.

That's *NINE* transactions of $500,000.

Thank God.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Topper loved Cave. Weird seeing an organization willing to do whats best for the team even if it upsets the coach. Phillies not afraid to save their coach from himself.

@DancingPanther

Need a live reaction by you about Fangraphs ranking the Phillies Bullpen as the top in MLB.

 

[Cody Webster]

We're going to have to sit here and watch another year of Castellanos doing absolutely, aren't we

 

[Danko]

Batting Practice at Baycare is absolutely crazy. Balls flying everywhere. My wife shamed the family by missing an attempt to barehand catch one hit right over the bullpens. Just a steady stream of homers for about 45 minutes while the Rays warmed up the other day.
