Yeah, it's just pre-season, but the Padres are up on the M's 26-4 in the 8th.

I believe you until this. Walker can't hit a line drive.

He smashed a 100 mph FB for a hit just the other day.

They better watch out, the Ms are going to start plunking guys if they haven't already.

What game was that in? Fangraphs only shows him with 3 games played (2/26, 2/28, and 3/2) and he has 8 PAs, 1 BB, 1 K and no hits.

I think it was against Venezuela so it doesn't get counted in the normal spring training stats

Was the scrimmage on Tuesday against one of the WBC teams.

Added: linkdude got it - Venezuala

I've never once in the past or will in the future be concerned about ST stats.

You shouldn't either. They mean absolutely nothing.

Okay since you say so I shouldn't be concerned either.

Has a guy that played 154 games and led the team in RBI ever been more hated?

Lets not act like leading the 2025 Astros in RBI is a big deal.

Jose Abreu had more RBI in 2023 and we can all agree he was horrible.

Nobody hates him. We reserve that for hitting coaches.

Jose Abreu drove in 90 runs in 2023 -- and had a terrible year

Yet no one else could drive in more. I might be crazy but there were problems other than him.

He got out OPS'd by Jake Meyers and his 3 homeruns. (Walker was 9th in OPS)

Walker was not good at all. Now I hope and think he will have a bounce back year in 2026. But RBI don't tell the story of how his season went

You don't need to take every slight at him personally. There were obviously much bigger problems than him. Nobody is saying he was the only or the worst problem, but most of the others probably weren't getting paid $20 mil/yr.

Last I checked, you still win games by scoring more runs than the other team, so the ability to drive runners in is still pretty important, especially when others aren't getting it done.

Pretty close to leaving Fubo for YoutubeTV. How has the SCHN Stream been for those with it? I split Fubo with other family members and it had been great but now we're getting stream limits reached when 2 people are watching it. For YoutubeTV + SCHN it's about the same price as we pay now.

Do you guys with YTTV have any complaints?

I like YTTV's interface and functionality much better than Fubo's. The last couple years, I did Fubo during baseball season and switched back to YTTV in the off season. I haven't subscribed yet, but I'll likely add SCHN and keep YTTV for this season. I'd be curious in hearing any feedback on the SCHN+ stream.

I'll try it for this season, but I'm one of those people that likes to see what else is on TV during commercial breaks. I may get frustrated by not being able to do that easily since I'll have to switch between apps.

The pitch was 100.4

He also walked and struck out that game.

Yainer had the hardest hit ball of the day at 110.5 (single), but a few others got close -- Correa at 108.0 (single), Smith at 107.5 (single), Wilyer Abreu off Javier 106.5 (triple) & Weiss 104.2 (single).

You know it's going to be a great year when we're hyped about our 34-year-old first baseman having a hard hit ball in a scrimmage against Team Venezuela.

It's really not a big deal since among regulars, Walker was second to Yordan in average exit velo, hard hit percentage, and barrel percentage in 2025.

Probably the best defensive SS we've had since young Carlos Correa. No hate towards Pena, he's good, but I think Allen is a level up.

YTTV is the best streaming service out there. I plan to switch to the sports only package when it becomes available and then using the savings to buy SCHN+
