It's kind of crazy now that everything's clean watching everyone get so tired and bombed out in September.
Makes it even more glaring when you realize how "deep" pitching has become and how 2B and SS are stock full of garbage offensive players.
Almost makes you wistful for the early 2000s when every other outfielder was hitting 30-100.

At the very least, it's a million times better than where the Marlins used to play. Definitely a fun stadium to watch on TV. John and Suzyn love it, and they're looking forward to tomorrow night's game, to see the outfield wall showcase the Miami night skyline.
While praising the Marlins, John and Suzyn keep pushing for that other Florida team to get a better stadium. Man, they hate the Trop more than ever this year. It's always hysterical listening to them call games there!

Desmond Jennings hit 3 homers today including a grand slam. First player to hit 3 homers in a spring training game since Craig Monroe did it in 2009 and the first player on the Rays to do so as well.
Can't wait for the season to start
officially
The new unis have to be worth 10 wins.

Ubaldo threw at Tulo and hit him. Then waved at him to start a fight. Benches cleared. Damn dude it's spring training. Tulo had it coming though.

Left-hander Jon Niese, who is under the teams control for another four seasons, is expected to sign a long-term deal with the organization, a baseball source told ESPNNewYork.com.
The eventual deal is believed to be comparable to the five-year, $28.5 million deal that included two team options -- for $11 million and $11.5 million -- that fellow left-hander Derek Holland signed with the Texas Rangers last month. Both players have comparable major league service time and would have been eligible for free agency after the 2015 season.
Good move for the Mets.

Former teammates erupt!
Awesome. Wish there was video. Tulo left the game with an injury.

Before the game, both Ubaldo and Tulo talked about Ubaldo being traded to the Indians. Ubaldo said he wanted out because he was frustrated the team wouldn't sign him to an extension like Tulo and Carlos Gonzalez got. Tulo was asked about it and he said, "We've always been a team that says, 'If you don't want to be here, go tell the manager that and you'll be gone quick. We don't want people who don't want to be here, He did and he was traded.'" I guess Ubaldo didn't like that?

Tulowitski was taken to a local hospital for X-rays on his left elbow. There are some who believe he may have suffered a fracture from Ubaldo's pitch.
ah hahahaha

“It’s the most gutless act I have seen in 35 years of professional baseball. I have lost all respect for him. To do something like that and walk down off the mound, and if there’s any suggestion whatsoever that the ball got way, I don’t want to hear any of that (expletive). He intentionally threw at him. He should be suspended. I am going to be very disappointed if he doesn’t get suspended. He deserves to be,” Tracy said, his voice raising in anger.
“Are you kidding me? Five days before opening day and you are going to take a potshot like that? It was the worst I have seen. I have lost respect for him and that’s a very difficult thing for me to say.”
“It’s (expletive). I understand that. I watched exactly took place,” Tracy said. “I give our player all the credit in the world because he looked out at him and asked him what the (expletive) he was doing? And that’s exactly what I would have said to him. Now this guy starts marching down off the mound. And you don’t think there was some intent when we were warming up to pitch this afternoon’s game? That’s intent right there. That’s intent.”
“Knowing what I know, knowing what took place last year, and where this team was at going into the second month of the season and doing what we did (in April) and he was nowhere to be found. I have lost all respect for him,” Tracy said.
“Look at where we were at last spring. At what took place after the 2010 season and what we did in the beginning of the 2011 season without him. Waiting for him. Taking bullets for him. All the different things. And to pull that (expletive). Out of line. Out of character. As I have said, the most professional thing I have ever seen since I started in professional baseball.”
Jim Tracy laying into Ubaldo. Damn.

Erasing Braves fans, hurry and change your avy.
He was probably asking for a PPV stream.
He was just trying to signal to the batter that he didn't know where he was.
ah ok. this board is weird. I wonder if i'll get banned for admitting that i have copied a VHS in my lifetime.

Someone find this on youtube!
What did you copy?!
i don't remember. It was more of taping things off of TV though.
That's like your toddler threatening to hit you in the head with a feather.

Heard from someone on ESPN desk that they now have video of Tulo/Ubaldo incident, and intend to have it on SportsCenter.

Just to play Devil's Advocate on the Jimenez beaning:
Jimenez does tend to be wild as shit, dude was walking the park in that inning. I'm not picking sides but the evidence isn't really overwhelming that he deliberately beaned him, and keep in mind Jim Tracy has been the manager behind a few headhunting/beaning incidents with the Dodgers. Manny Acta is a respected guy and wouldn't condone Jimenez doing that intentionally, plus I've never remotely heard anything prior between the two.
Jim Tracy can go pleasure himself with a spiked maul.

I shpport the beaning. And yes it was intentional....look at the body language.
Troy's primadonna ass needed to be hit. Learn to keep your mouth shut. There is much negative history between the two...how did you not know this?
