Greene with a leadoff triple against Cole in the 3rd. Tork fights his way to an 8 pitch walk. 

The kids got Cole so rattled he walked Barnhardt. Baddoo with the bases juiced.

Woodbery tweeting about him coming back 'down the RF line' so this was after he went to the OF after scoring the run?  EDIT: Beck just posted he went off at the end of the inning after he came in from 3rd.

Barnhart picks off Gleyber Torres...at second base lol!

[romad1]

This Elvin Rodriguez must be working on a pitch.

Really hope it’s more precautionary than anything else.

Great, Riley Greene - probably a career-ending injury............probably an amputation coming.    We can't have nice things here. 

And the weather has regressed to February. 

 

Make it stop.

Yep.....probably broken.  4-6 months out.   You know, the whole "can't have nice things" thing. 

 

In other news an anvil made by the ACME company has fallen on Spencer Torkelson's head.......

McCosky and Dickerson yakking in the booth during the game when Cabrera singles on an off speed pitch. Chris notes (with some justification) that throwing off-speed to Cabrera shouldn't happen much this season since he can't get around. Still, after Chris leaves the booth,  Miguel gets the last word for today by hitting 96 over the fence.....

Well, Cabrera is in GREAT shape this spring.  Toned up in the off season.     

I also understand Bonderman is really developing a change up this year.

you know there is a enough buzz around other players this season that Miguel can just show up and work on his game. But's it's all about the legs with him. A prevailing view is that he's slowed down too much to be an effective hitter - that may be true but it's not that unusual for HOF level hitters to maintain their reflex and eye to 40. What we know for sure Cabrera struggles with is the drive off the back leg. When it's there he can hit, when it isn't he can't. As Lee posted, he will likely just give us streaks when the leg/knee is good and not much the rest of the time so all we can do is hope he has more good days with the right leg.
