    Dustin May showed a nice curveball today, everything else looked good, and Gavin Lux continues to make nice contact

    Is Gavin still considered a rookie or did that go away last year?

    In all honesty, Boras probably walks around with a woody 100% of the time.

    I'm thrilled to see Lux continue to accumulate hits.

    On the other hand, I'm getting a little worried about Muncy. I know it's just ST and it's only 21 ABs, but so far he's shown nothing to make me believe that last year was a fluke.

    Yeah, was thinking the same thing on both. Lux is starting to look like he feels like he belongs, though I would like to see him do something other than single.

    Muncy on the other hand looks like he is already pressing. He has hit the shit out of the ball a couple of times this spring where it has gone right at a guy and he has shown some serious frustration from it. He was honestly fucked pretty bad by the umps last year and it bled into his game. From the AB's I have seen this year, it appears to be continuing from where it left off. I have no idea why he gets so many bad calls against him, but it is incredibly frustrating to watch and it has certainly impacted him mentally at the plate. He is incredibly hard on himself, which fine, but he carries it onto the field and that needs to stop. Like you said, it is only 21 AB's, but if we are going to repeat we are going to need the old Max Muncy.

    Good story today in The Athletic re. Muncy. Says he never felt fully comfortable with the broken finger until the postseason.

    last year his playoff run was one of the best though. If you combine playoffs with regular season it’s a decent season

    his playoffs were more than good enough for me to believe he’s not a fluke. On base over .400, slugging over .500, saw a million pitches per plate appearance and was clutch... not too concerned. Not to mention, it’s the one position with our most depth so he’s either good still or someone else comes in

    Bellinger returned to action today with a new stance. He’s still stepping WAY in the bucket, so naturally I hate it.

    I’m watching most of these games in background cause it’s nice background stuff and there’s enough new/young players to be fun but damn, hurry up and start the season already

    Boras definitely has rape-er face. Wouldn't be surprised if things come out of the woodwork soon.
