Spring training is here and it’s time to focus on playing baseball
Spring is (nearly) here!
You know what that means?

There it really is.
Players have began reporting to spring training and the baseball world is excited to move on from much of the negative press that has surrounded the MLB this offseason.
We’ve got familiar faces in new places…
Boston, thank you for an amazing 9 years.

What in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks is going on in Minnesota?
A high-tech pitching ‘mound’ will be making its spring training debut with the Minnesota Twins.
The instrumented ramp that is also being used by some colleges helps teams examine a pitcher’s mechanics in a more comprehensive way.

Technology. Smh.
Contrary to popular belief, baseball isn’t all about pitching (except in the postseason).

Something like that.
With the Marlins, there was less focus on baseball and more on being a bachelor.

We could go all day long, but there’s no need.
Baseball is back and that’s all that matters.
