    Your post is not worth repeating!!
    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.

    High Flight

    Is that because it contains language from the second Amendment that allows you to have the biggest gun?
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Keep saying you're not worried folks - that's 3 more Ks today.

    Yes it's still somewhat early, but it's about time people started getting ready/into grooves. It'd be nice to hear from people watching/attending the games that it's not a contact issue at least.

    He has a track record, so I'm not freaking out yet. He needs to start looking better though... this is pathetic

    RAJ is totally fine - they are having fun trying to smash baseballs into the ocean. His BP is incredible. In two weeks he will be OBP machine. Right now, bored to tears. And a big part per someone who knows - they are swinging at crap they never would during a season. Same as pitchers throwing pitches they never would during a real game. Point is - give it two weeks. Now the guys fighting for a spot do things very differently during ST.

    Yeah, nothing to freak out about - yet. Now's about the time things need to start becoming more about getting locked in though. Now that SPs are up to 4-ish IPs, we'll probably start to see more cuts this week and more playing time for the regulars so they can start dialing things in. That's always the tough thing about not being able to SEE the games - most of the announcers have gotten so bad you really can't tell much about what's happening even if you're listening.

    Braves ST is on the west coast, so it would be the Gulf, but they’re pretty far from the water.

    The Gulf of Mexico is still part of the Atlantic Ocean... its a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean

    Acuna has struck out 11 times in 25 PA this spring. I don't think it's crazy at all to question what's going on. Look at acuna's 3 ST stat lines prior to this year... they look nothing like this one. As I said earlier, I'm not freaking out about it, but I also don't buy in to he's practicing his swing and misses. He's struggling right now for whatever reason.

    ETA... I do expect Acuna to starting mashing soon
