Baseball is back!

For those who like to read way too much into the lineup for the first spring training game...Fisher in CF with Tyrone in LF is pretty interesting.

I would guess this is a case of they're already comfortable with Taylor in CF, they want to see what Fisher can do there. Kind of like what it sounds like they're going to do with Arcia/Urias at SS this Spring.

Baseball!

Finally, it's back!

 

Too bad it is only the CWS video feed, but it is still baseball!

Narvaez batting a 1.000!

[brewerfan82]

BOOM!

[CheezWizHed]

Huira's OPS is 5.000!

That Hiura bomb was a beauty! Good to have some baseball to watch again

[markedman5]

Hiura good......Lauer not so much.....

[brooks_quichenick]

Sharp inning from Perdomo

Taylor looking to get a leg up on the 4th OFer.

How not to make the team: take an easy play and throw the ball into RF because you decide to throw it with your glove

[Lathund]

Ashbys breaking stuff has gotten good reviews from the alternate site, and I could see why. Will get a lot of swings and misses on that.

[brooks_quichenick]

Nice to see some of Ashby and Small there. Aaron's breaking ball looks tough, he was also really messing with timing pitch-to-pitch.

I thought I remember seeing last year cases where Garcia played cf while Taylor played right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that, but I get a sense that CC doesn't have a ton of confidence in Taylor's defense

I know it’s only game #1 but Keston’s K rate continues to worry me.

I know it’s only game #1 but Keston’s K rate continues to worry me.

Yeah, he was swinging right through pitches in the strike zone again, which is infuriating, lol, but it is game one and he did smash a complete bomb too. Hopefully he shows improvement on that front as he gets more at bats under his belt this Spring.

[MrTPlush]

Keston Hiura wasn't going to magically figure out how to not strikeout in a few months of relaxing at home. Hopefully he improves a bit with more MLB experience, but I doubt he is ever pleasant in that regard. 25% K rate is probably a realistic end goal/dream.

Taylor looking to get a leg up on the 4th OFer.

His hits today were impressive, looked like his bat was explosive. Granted both hits were off southpaws, but he really jumped on the first good pitch he had to hit in each at bat.

 

As an aside, some of the Spring Training parks are sharing Statcast data via BaseballSavant.com, and others aren’t. With tomorrow’s game against the Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields we will have Statcast data.

Really great to have baseball back. Excited for Spring Training! Cheers everyone.

I know the Brewers are “webcasting” the game today. Does anyone know if that will be video, or is it audio only?

 

Edit: I will answer my own question and say it is audio only. Bummer.
