He should still start the season in the bullpen.

Mitch White (shoulder) is throwing a side today. He’s a couple weeks behind schedule but said his sides so far have felt good #BlueJays

He finds Bruce Bochy.

Pitchers must give batters ‘reasonable time’

It will not make the happiness of Max Scherzer, who hurried to launch yesterday. Besides, how can we quantify a “reasonable time” without squabbling?

Rule has always been on the books for player safety, and the pitch clock doesn’t change that. Penalty is a ball with the bases empty and a balk with runners on base. (2/2)

The Power of the Padres

The four stars have a good camp so far.

Padres are the team to watch! Soto has a spring OPS ~ 2.000, Tatis looks like Tatis, Bogaerts is a great add and Machado is happy (for obvious reasons) **** (4 stars)https://t.co/mTwHgnsBfg

Aaron Judge practices down the left

He could evolve there if necessary this season.
