2018 Spring Training In Game Thread

[MkeSouthSide]

Suter is gonna need every little advantage he can get given that he's not gonna miss bats. Improved defense and a good pickoff move will help. I am becoming resigned to the likely situation that the crew is not gonna add another SP. At least Suter games should be lively.

Braun with a dumb move running on a ball hit in front of him to the SS, but gets lucky because Arenado basically did his best NBA impression and didnt even try in order to avoid contact.

[topper09er]

Perez really stayed back nicely on a changeup for a single

[topper09er]

Aguilar looks a little slimmed down this year, too bad for him I don't see any way he makes the opening day roster. I'm sure we will see him in Milwaukee at some point this year

[topper09er]

This Rockies pitcher is throwing a ton of changeups

[MkeSouthSide]

Arenado is really giving the spring training effort out there today.

Did BA just refer to Suter as the "Raptor"? I haven't heard him called that before, but I can see how it fits.

I thought that was his nickname from last year during the stupid nickname jersey weekend

Wow Thames shortens up with 2 strikes and delivers an RBI. Great to see, hopefully CC is trying to emphasize actually playing baseball instead of HR derby this season

Looks like Hader with no haircut in the offseason, by September he is going to look live a caveman

Yeah. Its what the team called him last year because of how he looks when he runs. Found this in an interview with rosiak in the JS last summer.

 

Q. Another one of your talents is your famous "raptor" run. Where did that come from?

 

A. Really, it started with Tim Dillard. I have a pretty slouched run, and so he kept on saying I ran like a raptor. Then every time I'd do sprints near the relievers where he'd be stretching, he'd just go, "Rawwwwwwwwwr!" Eventually he had me come in as a Dubsmash guest and do the raptor runs in the background, and I guess it just took off. Then last year Mike (Vassallo, Brewers senior director, media relations) asked me what I wanted my music to be and I was like, "I don't really care." He goes, " 'Jurassic Park' theme song all right?" And I was like, "OK." (laughs) That's how it happened, pretty much."

Just witnessed win over Dodgers. Arcia with 3 rockets including a double off Kershaw. Can't wait to see what Choi does at CS. Guerra all over the place in the first but should have gotten through with just one run due to a botched DO ball. He settled down nicely. FB generally 93 range. Barnes shaky.

Barnes has been shaky in some other apperance think Williams might just win a job.
