So the Nike logos... At least it's not the NBA with the random brands, and I got used to it with college football jerseys pretty quickly, but they are surprisingly eye catching to me on the cubs home unis. I'm sure I'll stop noticing them eventually?

Posted this in the wrong thread yesterday. Same old story.

Brandon Morrow is made out of spun sugar.

Eyebrow?

Yes, this has been played to death on Twitter but I don’t care. How great is this?

That was the coolest thing I've seen in a looong time.

Have they been doing the new in game talking all spring training?  Finally seeing it and I love it.

[Kid]

I think ESPN has done it for a few spring games over the last few years.

[funkster]

Yeah, but I thought Marquee had announced they were going to do it more often?  Or did I imagine that?

[Kid]

I don't recall hearing about talking to players while they were playing.  I think they've brought in people with some regularity.  For example, I think I saw something the other day about the plan being that Heyward would Len and JD once he was out of the game.  (I am currently without MLB.TV access until late in the month and probably wouldn't be watching spring training anyway.)

Thought it was one of their new gimmicks, which I would love.  But I may have been making that up in my head.

I saw it during a special Marquee segment they aired a few times, but it wasn't during a game, just ST workouts.

Any reason why Kimbrel still hasn't pitched this spring?
