No Gorman at third? You’d think that if it were a gift wrapped position, he’d play it ever day.

No experiment.

I think it'll be a good amount of Fermin and Urias at 3rd. Prieto an interesting choise today.

I can see that. Urias is a GG at third. That don’t age.

Well thus far , no projected starter is playing every day . More like every other day . Guess they want to see how Prieto looks. Appears to be uphill battle for an IF spot as Fermin and Urias would seem to be front runners .

And, I'm sure its the same with every team. These guys are getting more work in at practice than they are getting 2 ABs and 4 innings on defense.

It is the same w/all teams.

You'd think people would understand this by now.

Yes, a lot of live batting practice on days they don’t play in actual game for the 2 at bats usually and 4 innings defense. On off day from gsmes thr also are on backfield doing defense drills.

It also cracks me up on how some are befuddled by lineup order.
The regulars are usually going to bat in top of lineup so they get their 2 plate appearances no later than 4th inning .
It’s not goth at complicated yet some question why is Oli batting player X here or there.
Some fans need a course. Spring Training 101

And no TV. Sucks.

leadoff single for Winn

thought IH was supposed to start at catcher today?

Scott strikes out swinging.
Burleson singles.
JJ walks.
Eury Perez hit 98 and 99 during JJ's AB

the good news: bases loaded one out
the bad news: Walker is up

yup, GIDP

Special note on JJ walk ... he challenged a 'strike call' by home plate ump.. call reversed so JJ gets 'free pass' to 1st base ..
Believe that is 5 walks now this spring vs. just 1 strikeout

Unfortunately , after JJ's walk to load the bases with 1 out. Walker ground into inning ending double play .. Ouch !

PS Winn started out the 1st inning with a single
