Game Thread: S49E02. Lots of Hair fondling and sky pointing vs Dick Spring

A couple of big plays to take us to 1-0. I am pretty sure that is a game we would’ve lost last season.


Link to the game thread urban dictionary reference - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define. ... dickspring

It’s lefty Jeffrey Springs vs Castillo, so Rotowire going with this expected righty lineup.

RF Robles R
CF Rodriguez R
C Raleigh S
LF Arozarena R
DH Garver R
3B Polanco S
2B Moore R
SS Crawford L
1B Solano R

6:40 Pacific, 9:40 East, 1:40am not sure how I will get on with tuning in so post the lineups when you get them.

Go Ms

Mostonmike taking the early lead!

That was a pretty exciting game. Nice to see Polanco and Arozarena come through.

Keep the streak alive!

Nice win there, moston! Never had a doubt. Make it Two. I'd rather not have my first game thread until at least April 19th :idea:

dickspring, that's a new one for me. My wife thinks I know them all.............
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!

bpj, you watched? I thought I read you were done this year? No more watching. AND you picked 95 Ws? I feel like you're just trolling us all.

Well, this is where our rotation needs to settle in and do work. We've got Castillo going up against a dude that hasn't been healthy the majority of the last 3 seasons. He gets dealt. He's not a bum, but he's also not a stud.

Time for the offense to go to work over these next 3 days and sweep the A's. I want to see Castillo, Bryce, Woo all chalking Ws to go to 1-0 with 7 strong.

Let's go M's. 4-0 here we come. Let's go to work

Yeah, I looked at Spring's stats. He was lights out one season but like you said, has pitched much at all lately. Wasn't good in ST.

He looked pretty good when he came back last summer for 8 games. His FB was down a bit but good secondary pitches. He once was on track to be a stud

You know, I like keeping them in AA because let's face it, it's a harder league. If they started hitting bombs all over the PCL, there's questions whether it plays at the majors.

But with Young at least, it means you're blocking Emerson from coming up to play SS, right? Or is Young permanently at 2b now?
