2016 Spring Training Discussion Thread

[Namaste]

I'm going tomorrow. It will probably get rained out or be obnoxiously hot for March.

[Namaste]

It was obnoxiously hot. And buggy.

And then after the last out of the game it started to pour so everyone got soaked walking to their car.


Bour and Deitrich started vs a LHP

Bour and deitrich starting versus a lefty is actually good in spring training. It's not like they will never face a lefty and they need reps anyway.

You're going to complain about going to a Spring Training game on a Tuesday afternoon? In my opinion there's not much better in life than taking work off and going to an afternoon spring training game. They're taking these games away from us here in Central Florida so enjoy it while you have it.

So every team will have much more access to analytics

Marlins will probably download Temple Run 2

Looks like Breslow has made the squad

No news here but wish we would do what other teams are starting to do more and more. They know guys won't make the team(Out of Options) so instead of just getting rid of them they are trading them for less talented guys at the same position who will pass thru or are on minor league deals AND a "project" piece.

Hand and DD are out of options and both would get picked up quick. Trade Hand for a AAA LRP and ask for some project instead of letting him walk

Dunn becomes our go to RP and looks like Breslow has made the team.

Last RP job comes down to Hand/Narveson/Ege(All LP) or McGowan. Well as of right now

Also Tyler Kolek news,2nd Exam was inconclusive. So he is going for #3. This team just doesn't learn. Get him the damn TJ surgery now instead of 2 years from now

Now we know why when Cleveland talked Ozuna they only would trade 1 SP and not discuss others. They just moved Trevor Bauer to the pen. We kept asking for Carrasco or Salazar.


Will say the "inshape" Ozuna looks alot better than LY tho.

I wonder it they made Buckelew shave just to pitch that inning?? Looked decent against major league hitters and we cant move him out of GBoro at 24?

They'll have to download it before game time since they won't have wifi access. I dislike this deal as it probably prohibits clubs from using other similar devices and solutions designed by their analytics department. I guess that is good for us as Marlins fans because their investment into analytics was the equivalent of giving an abacus to a 5 year old.

There are a lot of things in my life that are better than sweating
my balls off with hundreds of nats flying around my face and then driving 2.5 hours home completely soaked. And the game was a total snooze fest.

article says teams can use proprietary stuff

article says teams can use proprietary stuff

May have missed the reference you are referring to. But regardless of using proprietary stuff, by using Ipads, you've locked yourself into a development platform that is not commonly used by data scientists.

[emkayseven]

Each club will have proprietary data, as opposed to a league database, loaded on it that will allow coaches and managers to use data and video to assist in making decisions beyond the lineup card. Testing began in games during the postseason in 2015. Each of the 30 clubs also will have the ability to include any of their own reports with data generated from last year’s first full season of Statcast tracking technology, bringing new stats for pitch tracking, hitting, baserunning and fielding, right on iPad Pro.

you might be right, but it's a moot point because it probably costs The Jeffrey Group too much money to develop something like this

[tjfla]

Tommy Medica released and Don Kelly resigned to a minor league deal

[emkayseven]

rotation is Chen, Fernandez, Conley, Koehler, Cosart

[HUGG]

Imagine going to a spring training game and then being surprised when it was boring.
