I can't think of anything more exciting than discussions about weight.
Besides, well, everything.

I can't think of anything more exciting than discussions about weight. Besides, well, everything. Monthly trip to the mainland shopping day today. My wife just brought me 6 chocolate eclairs similar to the eclairs they sold 40 years ago in New England. I expect to gain weight. . . . Tough angle to determine any weight issues: If that's Guerra at short, he's pretty solid looking for a 19 year old. . . . . . . Both pics from Brian McPherson twitter

Where did they go Joe DiMaggio?...hey, hey, hey.

Haha, Boston Cream Pie like they used to make it, bakery French bread, the chain where you could buy a quart of deep fried clams with tartar sauce, the 6 cent hamberger chain, telephone numbers like Colonial 3-7650 two rings. Talking to baseball players pre-game.
ADD: Inviting baseball players to your house, we had Johnny Logan of the Braves and Jimmy Piersal of the Red Sox as dinner guests several times. I was too young to remember Logan but I definitely remember Piersal and no, not the crazy version.

Thanks to Panda, no third baseman looks too big to man the position.

Devers' looks fine. Purely talking about his physique, I think he'll be able to stick at 3B for a while before moving across the diamond. He has a long way to go regardless.

This is cool:
Rob Bradford ?@bradfo 7m7 minutes ago Farrell notes that he ended Molitor 39 game hit streak. Face off tonight as managers
Jason Mastrodonato ?@jmastrodonato 3m3 minutes ago Tonight, Twins vs Red Sox, Paul Molitor vs John Farrell. Farrell said his first major league pitch was to Molitor. "He ended up on first."
Jake Kaplan ?@jakemkaplan 3m3 minutes ago ELVIS Araujo is currently pitching to Alex PRESLEY.

JBJ scorches an RBI double off the wall in RCF. Thrown out going for a triple, but hits like that were few and far between for him in 2014.

Is Noe Ramirez coming at a lower angle or does it just look different on television?

The home run was on the first pitch of the at bat and was drilled over the fence in straight center field.

If Bogey develops into what a lot of people thought he would after a torrid start last year, my god, this offense...

Ogando throwing beebees and cutting his pitches surprisingly well for early pre-season.

I was starting to type "He looks amped up and seems like he might be overthrowing" when he gave up that homer. Though he's always had something of a high-effort delivery and I feel like I need stuff to overreact to.

With the exception of "a swing and a drive", Ogando's pitches look good.

8-6 in the fourth inning? This team's in midseason form already ...

8-6 in the fourth inning? This team's in midseason form already ... Indeed. And look at Farrell not hesitating and turning to Tazawa early to get these key outs rather than waiting. Big strikeout of Mauer there could be what decides the Governor's Cup.

Pedroia, 3-3 with a Granny. Whoa Read a Fangraphs analysis about how a good sign for him this year would be if he's turning on inside pitches again, which he wasn't doing nearly as well last year. That was nice to see.

Bryce Bentz, Edwin Mujica, Sean Cole. Minnesota announcers nailing the Sox names tonight. MLB Network is working it's way into shape as well. Caption was "Alexi Oganda" or some similar misspelling.
