Jacob deGrom vs. Stephen Strasburg in today’s spring training game at Fit Team Ball Park in West Palm Beach, FL. Anyone else wish they could be there instead of working today? Hissing fastballs, warm sun and a cold beer sure sounds good on this snowy winter day at the office.

    For those of you with a subscription to The Athletic, there is a great article about Chili Davis. Fascinating read.

    “Davis emphasizes an all-fields, contact-oriented approach — the kind manager Mickey Callaway has long preferred. Callaway lamented the Mets’ lack of situational hitting at various points last season; the team incorporated different game contexts into its batting-practice routines in the summer. Throughout the winter, Callaway pointed to the approach the Red Sox used last season, especially in October, in winning the World Series — one that involved using all fields and driving in a large percentage of runs with two outs.”

    Sadly, it was reported today that Tom Terrific is suffering from dementia.

    God Bless him and his family.

      Very sad about Seaver. Read that Harrelson is not doing so well either. Festivities in June won’t be the same.
