Affeldt didn't like throwing IBBs, which is unsurprising since bouncing a pitch during an IBB isn't desirable.

Miller raises a good point-- if the manager can "Intentionally Walk" the batter without leaving the dugout or waiting for the batter to get in the box, it probably will be a not-insignificant time gain since there doesn't need to be a summit on the mound, then a discussion with the ump, then waiting for the batter to get "ready".

But knowing MLB it'll be the slowest implementation of this system that requires the manager walking around even more.

I'm trying to think of a way to describe the Giants that doesn't use the word "mid-season" and words are failing me

Chris Marrero has another 9th inning game-winning home run for the Giants. That's two more than the entirety of the 2016 Giants.

Belt's having a nice spring, crushing the ball

in the other game Matt Cain got lit up again because he's really bad. oh and Mike Morse hit a couple dingers I guess

Hwang is having a good spring so far too, along with Mac Williamson.

They should have ruled "blocking the plate" and awarded them the run :v:

Did he say he didn't like the WBC but liked Spring Training? That would be the important part of establishing a hypocrisy.

Because clearly we shouldn't besmirch the Hawk Harrelson legacy without having all the facts.

denard span has two goddamn hits this spring??

mariners rf crashes into the wall to make a nice catch

Yes. It was pointed out yesterday that he isn't impressing on offense or d, and that Gorkys looked great at both last year and so far this spring. Apparently Span was upset he got platooned at the end of last season, but he's really not making a case against doing this again.

I feel like even if Matt Cain is "good" enough to meet the bare-minimum of quality aka have quality starts, the part of the bullpen that'll help mop up is so bad that it won't matter
