30 Clubs in 30 Days

[Just Regular]

Our episode on MLB at 400 this afternoon (assuming the 100 telecast finishes on time), before they also show this afternoon's Rays game at 600.

As is the norm when mainstream media does a "deep dive" for them, there still isn't much new that we don't discuss every day here.  In terms of nuggets from the segments, or new stuff to me:

MEANS - hasn't been announced, but his answer sounded like it came from a place of expecting to face Cole on OD.

GIVENS - talking about catching, mentioned Severino but not Sisco

MANCINI - learned he grew up a tennis player (Pedroia's the other prominent MLB'er I know of who did a lot of that as a kid) - I think maybe that translates a bit to quick hands from the faster ball/lighter equipment.  He also reviewed the higher aim goal, saying it originated from Hyde in September, and put flesh on the bones by sharing his targets moved up from 2nd baseman's head to CF batter's eye.

HYDE - on question about rotation behind Means/Cobb, he launched into vets and young guys and I thought he was going to expire the whole 30 seconds without specifying a human, but near the end he did say "LeBlanc".  In handicapping the field, I guess that means Wojciechowski is perhaps not above the fray.

I picked a good day to work at home this week.
