Spring training is fun physically if you’re in attendance, but following it online is not that nourishing an experience.

Looks like Keith had a good day at the plate, but not in the field. I’m just looking at the box score though.

That was the year they kind of looked like the Dodgers uniforms.

Or at least today.

He seems to be Mr. Glas. There’s just a lot of territory in CF for him to cover and more chances to get a boo-boo.

Crickets….

Not looking good for our team today.

That’s not an iceberg in the distance. It’s just the moon reflecting off the ocean. We’ll be fine.

I think this all means that they’re pretty scared about Meadows et al. “The best laid plans of mice and men…“

Victor made $800,000 last year in Korea and received $100,000 signing bonus. That’s not astronomical money by MLB standards but it’s not too shabby for a 30-year-old guy who isn’t in MLB anymore.

Yes! I wish our guys were tough as Primož Roglič. In a Tour de France race on TV, I saw the Slovenian cyclist Primož Roglič reset his own horrendously dislocated shoulder back into place and refuse the help of spectators not only because he knew better what he was doing than they did, but because their aid would break the rules. He got back on his bike and road several more stages with this injury in immense pain before leaving the race after securing the overall TDF victory for his teammate Jonas Vingegaard. He’s a more civil version of Aatami Korpi from the Finnish movie SISU. I wish our guys were tough like this.

Clark and McGonigle though too. Even though they won’t make the team, it’s good to see them contribute even if it is against the kind of competition they’ve already seen in the minors.

Although in a game like this, a tie or a loss seem the same, a tie right now feels like a victory, even though it’s meaningless. There were a lot of contributions from various players that give us reason for optimism.

Anderson, whoever that is for the Tigers, ties the score at 8-8.

Our future’s so bright we have to wear shades

Clark doubles in two

Guenther to the rescue.

Five runs scored in the bottom of the fifth by the Pirates and still no outs. I’m glad this is generally meaningless.

Four scoreless frames and 65 pitches. I’m presuming that Montero is finished for the day but who knows.

Montero gets out of a sticky situation in the third inning

4-0 Tigers.

It’s raining runs hallelujah

The Tigers brought Tork at 1st on the road for this game.

My personal situation, because I’m retired, is that I have time on my hands during the day so it bugs me when these spring games begin as “night games.“ i’ve got plenty of other choices of things to do - not unlimited still other things - but the path of least resistance is to just idly follow a game like a bump on a log.
