Ozuna, who was among the last arrivals, said he spent the winter trying to strengthen his shoulder and get better at throwing. He said he hopes to play more LF this year instead of DH. 

Snit's response when asked

“I hope,” Snitker said. “I know he’s got gold on his glove … You hurt your shoulder, that’s huge in this (sport). It’s not for lack of work, because the guy’s throwing all the time, doing all the work. We’ll see. When he gets going, we’ll see where it is.”

Ozuna said he felt like his mind has been out of control the last two years and was just uncomfortable. He spent much of the offseason in his native Dominican Republic and said he feels happy now. 

I gave the thinking emoji for what he's says about his mental state.  Sports is about emotions at times and they go hand in hand.  If you're not having fun,  you're not playing good and it can be vice versa as well.

Your only streaming option is DirecTV then. Bally literally dropped all other streamers. Shocking that they're in bankruptcy. Bally is in like the $100 a month package from DirecTV. MLB TV is currently only for out of market games. Manfred has said that will change if Bally dies but until then, the in market crowd is limited to cable or DirecTV.

Yep, Bally controls all right now through their regional rights. If they die, Manfred has pretty much said blackouts and streaming restrictions will end. The radio broadcast is free though. You can download the 680 The Fan app or just listen on your computer/phone through the website.

I honestly had no idea...and I do a media podcast that covers this.

Yeah, just another issue with Bally. Their own streaming service can't offer baseball. They only have streaming rights to five MLB teams.

Snitker said the coaches have been impressed by Shewmake. Snit said Terry Pendelton of a big fan of his, said he makes all the plays at SS and has a good bat. Snitker pointed out Shewmake's injury last as essentially slowing him down a bit development wise. Shewmake was asked about the SS job being open this Spring but not being included in the competition coming in.

“I like to think that I would’ve been able to get a shot at it,” if not for the injury, Shewmake said. “But it is what it is. You can’t really sit back and look on all that stuff. They do a great job in this organization of developing guys to be ready to play on the big stage. I would like to think I would’ve had a chance at it, but you can’t play the what-if game. It happened, and we move on from there.”

Snit said the majority of the regulars will play today. Acuna and Rosario will see more ABs than normal early because they're both headed to the WBC in March.
