lol @ the Dodgers.

I bet they wish they were in the AL so they didn't have to play the Dbacks more this season.

There's plenty of room on the bandwagon. Hop on now before it's too late!

How can a team in as big of a market have the most dull announcers calling their games?

Serious question...

When you wake up in the morning, how long does it usually take before you complain about something?

I've been to Spring Training the last two years. Soft spot for the city because of that.

Tx,

Gramuel,

You were out here for spring training and didn't hit me up? You're dead to me.

Kris Bryant set the record for 1st year arb. this year at $10.8M. Seems pretty dumb of Pham not to take the guarunteed money given his injury history, especially when he's not giving up any FA years.

he actually comes off as extremely intelligent and hard working

and holy **** why couldn't i have ohtani dna

Only thing I can figure is that once he's out of the game they no longer have the DH.

plus probably better for a pitcher to not have to hit, run bases, etc

right but then you just pinch hit with whoever is taking the abs from him as it is. chances are that spot comes up once per game maybe twice.

it's not like relief pitchers pitch more than 1 inning anymore where you're worried about losing the dh and having to pinch hit for a different pitch you wanted to leave in the game.

i hope he keeps mashing so they leave him in in the lineup when he pitches as well.

Nah, just grazed the top of his left wrist. It was a pure speed and defense substitution.

I have Ohtani on yahoo as a pitcher in a daily league and on CBS as a dual player in a weekly league. Pretty lame overall. Basically always have to play him as SP I’m on CBS, but these last two days might make my decision-making more difficult.

After going to spring training last year and contemplating Phoenix area as an eventual home, I wondered if it was okay to have two favorite teams - and the D’backs are super easy to root for since they are in the same division as the Dodgers and Giants.

So how many of you guys come out to spring training occasionally? Sounds like a meet up is in order.

I didn't go to a spring training game this year. Only 1, in Surprise, last year. I love the buzz in the area for spring training, but I have trouble making it to games.

Your Dbacks attendance has sucked lately btw.
