Spring Training Games - 2021

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Good first inning from Houser.

 

Eric Lauer continues to punch his ticket to Appleton, though. Where the heck is the pitcher we were supposedly getting from San Diego?

Houser was impressive. Don't have high hopes but maybe he will be more 2019 and less 2020.

 

With regards to Lauer, never understood why anybody thought he was anything. Was thoroughly unimpressive pitching for San Diego and was terrible pitching outside of Petco. This bad, I suppose not, but I never wanted him in our rotation.

The Indians loaded up on lefties to face Adrian Houser today.

 

In all seriousness, improving against LHH will go along way towards determining what type of role he’s going to be able to maintain throughout the season.

 

If Tribe was truly loading up the lefties in the lineup, Bradley Zimmer/ Eddie Rosario/ Bobby Bradley & a few others would be in the lineup mix today...

 

-----------------------------------

Yu Chang (RH) is in a battle for utility role in CLE. He is capable of playing all across the INF & was a part of the Lucroy deal that was voided in 2016..

 

Think there is any interest by MKE to get Chang now??

[CheezWizHed]

My first time hearing Ueck this year. Loving it!

Game also being broadcast back to Ohio. Getting to hear Tom Hamilton (WI native).

He was telling multiple stories about Lauer today (played against one of Tom's son in High School & went to Kent St for college where another of Tom's sons played & went to college world series)..

He's certainly making his case today.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I know it's only been two innings, but Aaron Ashby looks like he might just be something.

Yup. He might be up in the bigs this year.

[markedman5]

Very impressive.

 

When hitters look that bad you know a guy has good stuff.

[wallus]

With the spectacles, Ashby looks like a left handed Burnes.

[brewers888]

The game today looks a lot like many we saw last season with the team not able to get a hit through the first 5 innings. These games obviously mean nothing but the offense looks lost again.

[wallus]

The sound when Mitchell makes contact is perfectly cromulent.

Fixed it for you

Brewers FB page posted the strike 3 pitches from today. Kid should be a top 60 prospect. Those were RHB that had no clue vs a lefty. The future is bright when he arrives to Big League.

[MVP2110]

A good game to not have on TV lol. I'd like to see Burnes and Urias but the rest of the pitchers and lineup is fairly boring today

[Eye Black]

Sounds like Luis Urias left the game with some sort of leg injury suffered while running to first base after hitting into a double play.

 

Per Adam McCalvy:

 

Luis Urias was limping after a groundout here in Scottsdale and drew a visit from the athletic trainers. He walked off on his own but he's out of the game now. We will effort an update.

[markedman5]

Update......Burnes dominant in his 2 innings.....no hits 1 walk....5 ks.

 

Zimmerman......not quite as dominant.......

[markedman5]

Fisher with a 3 run bomb

 

[Eye Black]

"Left Hamstring Discomfort" is the reported diagnosis for Urias.

[markedman5]

Arcia with 2 hits today including a double.

 

Vogelbach with 2 hits and a walk

[Pugger]

The Crew will be on MLB Network this afternoon against the Cubs.

[homer]

Welcome to Spring Training, Garrett Mitchell.

[Eye Black]

Today's lineup against the Chicago Cubs:

 

2B Kolten Wong

1B Keston Hiura

LF Christian Yelich

RF Avisail Garcia

DH Travis Shaw

3B Orlando Arcia

C Omar Narvaez

SS Daniel Robertson

CF Tyrone Taylor

 

P Brett Anderson

[Eye Black]

I normally scoff at the “best shape of his life” stuff, but I’m cautiously optimistic that Garcia’s going to be an improved player this season.
