Folks in the Giants organization say that at the end of spring training, Pablo Sandoval was swinging the bat very well. It'll be interesting to see if he gets some playing time in the days ahead, if the SF lineup continues to struggle.

Source: Cole Hamels can block trades to all teams except Mariners, Cardinals, Nationals, Astros, Cubs, Phillies, Braves, Royals, and Rays. He earns $22.5M this season in final year of contract, followed by $20M club option ($6M buyout) for 2019. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Third shoutout is the charm... The Yankees defeat the Rays 11-4 thanks to Didi Gregorius having himself a day. Gregorius is the 3rd SS in MLB history with 4 hits and 8 RBI in a single game, joining Miguel Tejada and Hall-of-Famer Travis Jackson.

Giancarlo Stanton's riveting stat line so far: 3 HR, 2 doubles, 4 walks, 12 strikeouts, no singles. It all computes to a 1.029 OPS for a guy who is 2 for 20, with 12 K's, when he doesn't hit the ball over the fence.
Fun with numbers!

I don’t know the bird’s background, so I’m hoping he was rescued and can’t be released into the wild - and not kept as an entertainment animal. That said, it’s pretty funny he went after a Canadian. Lol.

That is a rescue bird that can't be released to the wild - usually happens when someone finds either a baby, or an injured bird, gets taken to rehab, and either the injuries don't allow for release, or the bird has imprinted on humans.

Pitching gifs are my new favorite thing.
