Talking Maryland and College Sports

    • In fairness, human nature lets us believe in the good stats. Particularly when it’s from young players. And it lets us dismiss the poor stats. Especially from the vets.    Reality says it may mean something…or it may mean nothing. 
    • I think this is interesting. I wonder if the Cole injury has them thinking this isn’t the year to push all the chips in? 
    • I don't know if that's probable. Holliday doesn't have to turn into a better defender than Gunnar for that alignment to make the most sense for the team. 
    • The boys need work but I'm a fan.  Lol  
    • I'm 50/50. I take Spring Training results in moderation and with caveats. If it's a young player trying his hardest to make the team for the first time, I take those a little more seriously than I do veterans who are secure in their roster spot. The Vets who know they have a role already are more likely to tinker and experiment with new things in Spring Training. (I.E. a pitcher trying a new pitch, or a batter trying a new stance, etc.) As for my evaluations, it might be helpful to reveal my thoughts of last Spring Training. I thought that from how well Logan Gillaspie pitched in ST he would make the team and he did. However, I was also convinced that Lewin Diaz would be called up to the Orioles at some point because of how good he was in Spring Training, and that never happened. (Although it did for Jon Lester and Ryan O'Hearn). So it's 50/50. I've stopped trying to make predictions. I like being right more than being wrong and I'll admit when I don't have a clue about something.
