Unless someone is super atrocious in spring I don’t think it matters too much. I expect a lot of the time guys are trying to do certain things in situations that they wouldn’t normally do in the regular season. It doesn’t mean anything, so why not tinker with something mechanically or strategically to see how it plays out. I think that is case for Jimenez, especially since he added some weight strengthening his lower body in the winter. Let him re-tune himself and judge him solely on his regular season performance.

I’ve had that thought for a long time, back to my youth in the 60s as a Mets fan. Back then, the Mets would often be very good in spring training, but would revert to the Mutts as soon as the season started. The Indians have seemed very similar for the last 20 years or so.

It might be interesting to compare Indians Win-Loss in pre-season and regular-season over that period of time. I suspect little correlation.

[...] Don’t worry about the bad dress rehearsal I spent a lot of my high school years and some of my early professional life working in the theater. One of the many adages in the theatrical world is: “Bad dress rehearsal–good show.” Granted, sometimes this didn’t hold true. Sometimes a bad dress rehearsal just meant you had a crappy production and you’d have [...]… [...]
