• Jacob Latz's favorite Nathan Eovaldi-ism: "For every stove that's in, there's a cable that's out."


• Isn't it ironic that Beginning to See the Light by Velvet Underground was playing on the Astros public address system, just as Dana Brown, who is as stupid as they come, was talking to Joe Espada about Cam Smith, who showed up at spring training looking like a chicken, totally contrasting Taylor Trammell, whose Nate Pearson bobblehead was impressive, which makes one wonder if in their disgust and disappointment they were discussing the widely rumored deal wiht the Blue Jays for Brandon Valenzuela?


• OK, the Red Sox didn't have the best offense, but look at the talent: Anthony Seigler (who is loved like Bryan Torres by several teams), Jarren Duran, and Marcelo Mayer would start for almost any other team, and they will all be scrambling for enough playing time to make Alex Cora outstanding.


• Now if Mark Vientos, who has recovered from his offseason ruptured chest and is back after losing twenty-two pounds, can stretch the lineup one more spot, and if Brett Baty can reverse his OBP slide, and they can get decent production from MJ Melendez, the Mets can add 98 runs and be the best offensive team in the league, especially in that park.

reflections on the braves

the Braves had interest in dealing for
                 Paul Sewald

until they learned
                 Sewald will miss
five months after crashing a sailboat into a palm tree

Alex Anthopoulos may now inquire about
                 Michael Soroka

who pried
                 Sewald loose from the wreckage with a home

being such a sloppy
fellow
