Official 2016 Spring Training Thread

[Omar 382]

I ran three hours of data and I found the correlation of standings in the Grapefruit League and the actual regular season standings to be around 0.27. A little low, but I'm not fucking risking it. Fuck playing all these AAAA players. We need to win this thing- the season's on the line!

It's good to see Jake Thompson starting today. Gives up a 1-out double which Nick Williams fucks up and fumbles around. Early spring jitters.

 

[Omar 382]

He got a little lucky with doubling up Springer, but he looked good in the first. He can throw some cheddar

 

[jvett77]

Howard and Ruiz each whiff with 2 on in the first. Couldn't they have medicated pre-game?

 

[jvett77]

Beautiful breaking ball by Thompson for a strikeout. That really dropped.

 

[Omar 382]

Fucking bloop hits. We're never going to win the GL at this pace!

<Clears throat>

Jake Thompson is Garbage!

 

[jvett77]

Seeing guys we've been chirping about in anticipation of turning the team around is exciting but still will take a lot of patience, as expected.

 

[Omar 382]

I'm joking. He looked great. He left his curveball up in the zone a bit, but it is his first start in any Spring Training game ever. The future is definitely bright for Jake "Nucky" Thompson

 

[jvett77]

I know.

 

[Omar 382]

I know.

Sorry, I didn't mean to patronize you (that means talk down to you like I'm intellectually superior to you)

It will be nice. However I've yet to catch any games on the TV. Heck they only had the one game on 94.1. It was great to hear baseball again.

Actually, my original comment was just an independent thought written before I saw your funny "garbage" post. The delay in posting was because I was arguing with your mom who tried to get me to shower before jumping on her. What a bitch.

 

[jvett77]

Why the fuck are we still getting shutout?

 

[Omar 382]

The Phillies are trying to provoke me by playing Featherston and now Knapp doesn't even take his mask off to catch a ball. At least I have my knitting hobby to calm me down

 

[jvett77]

Fatass is a no-show, as usual. I think he's left 4 men on base today. Maybe one of these months, Tac will order the platoon.

 

[Omar 382]

Oh fucking come on! It's clear that the Grapefruit League is fixed. That chair that Howard tripped over while dropping that pop up is worse than the Steve Bartman incident

Tyler Featherston= John McDonald

Just think, with 66 guys on the ST roster, we will be forced to watch a few dozen jack offs who will be out of baseball in 2 years.
