    It's not his fault the infield defense let him down. He's been fantastic.

    Matzek looked really nice. Would be nice to see him be a weapon out of the pen.

    Why are they concentrating so much about how well Ronnie speaks English?

    Man Riley looks like a different hitter patience wise so far this Spring. I hope he can keep it up. That could be huge for the team

    Lango has had a great spring. He will probably get to stick around until the last cuts.
    Coppy

    Really enjoy the mics. Hope they do more of this during the season when guys are in the dugout.

    We know Riley can hit a middle/middle fastball a long ways.

    I want to see his plate discipline numbers after another ~100 MLB PAs to see if he is improving.

    I only saw Wright's 5 K pitches, but 3-4 of them were elevated, and probably won't have the same success in the middle of the MLB season after guys have seen the breaking stuff a few times.

    Obviously just the eye test, but execution has always been his biggest issue, not stuff.

    He especially keeps leaving his fastball up and over the plate. It's really frustrating because the fastball is the easiest pitch to master and he gets really good movement with his breaking pitches. But he can't seem to develop a good fastball and locate it well.

    Can we talk about how good Tyler Matzek has been?? I would like to somehow see him and Weigel in the pen.

    They need to restrict it to dugout talk. Trying to talk to Ozuna while he was in the field would seem to be distracting for the player. Asking him if he could hear them while he was looking at defensive placement card is not in the best interest of the game IMO.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
