[WaitingFor2017]

It's Matt Olson Szn.

[msstate7]

Harris hr
TDA single
Wall single
Adrianza double
2-0 braves in other game

[msstate7]

Rosario with a 2-out rbi single

[Hudson2]

This team goes to a whole other level if we get good LF production this year.

[msstate7]

Any chance white and/or wall are real? They're having great ST so far

[Enscheff]

Acuna looks like he’s going to have a monster season.

Albies looks like he’s moving even closer to the plate with an open stance from both sides in an attempt to literally pull 100% of pitches. I’m concerned he’s going to struggle.

They are getting every chance to prove themselves. Somebody must see some potential there.

It will be interesting to see how everyone adapts to the pitch clock this season. There was an article today regarding Scherzer and how he was trying to manipulate the clock by being super slow on one pitch and then throwing a pitch as soon as the clock starts the next pitch.

That could definitely throw off a batters timing and buy a cheap strike or out.

Again, it is only ST and i'm sure that there will be minor tweaks to the rule changes as we go along.

He made the batter use their only time out, and then stood there set as he got back in the box.

He was playing chess and the batter was still on checkers

Also saw where Gallo got shifted on with an OF…

That probably won’t be the last time it happens around the league.

[Enscheff]

At least the OF shift has a more painful downside than the infield shift. It wasn’t worth punching a single the other way, but a double or triple the other way may incentivize guys to beat the shift.

[steveAKAslick]

I'm sure he argued with his doctor from his usual position of confident ignorance, and was probably wrong.

I wasn’t sure if this had been addressed on here seeing as I don’t lurk on the board in the offseason much and have just recently started perusing again a little before ST but he passed away back in October…

It totally slipped my mind to post anything about it because I was dealing with a death in the family around the same time…

Oh, ****. RIP clvclv.

[Enscheff]

Well I guess that makes my little joke a pretty awful thing to say. Very sorry to hear this.

[msstate7]

Man that's sucks.

[zbhargrove]

Man what a bummer… that sucks so much

[Tapate50]

Stinks about the loss of OG scout member. Rip.

[Tapate50]

Olson is ready for opening day

[Horsehide Harry]

Sorry about CLV. We didn't agree on much but he was someone who would put things out even though he knew he would likely be attacked for it (sometimes rightly so). He stood by his convictions. And he had some good takes at times IMO. Hope he gets a luncheon with Neikro and the Hammer.
