Let’s go ahead and take another page off the calendar – we are now just five days from Opening Day, and the league is starting to get busy making roster decisions. Yu Darvish won’t start for the Rangers on Opening Day. Neftali Feliz is starting the year in AAA. It’s getting a little wild out there.
Also yesterday, Jason Heyward homered over a scoreboard, the Marlins duo of Giancarlo Stanton and Jose Fernandez got hyped for Opening Day, the Twins pranked the hell out of Mike Pelfrey, I broke down ten players that could be disappointments in 2014, and Scott looked at four players that will be overshadowed in 2014 by their higher profile teammates.
Here’s today’s schedule of televised games and probable pitching matchups.
-Tigers vs Phillies (1:05 PM, Verlander vs Lee)
-Yankees vs Blue Jays (1:05 PM, Leroux vs Dickey)
-Pirates vs Twins (1:05 PM, Cumpton vs Nolasco)
-Nationals vs Cardinals (1:05 PM, Gonzalez vs Wainwright)
-Reds vs White Sox (4:05 PM, Marshall vs Danks)
-Orioles vs Rays (7:05 PM, Tillman vs Price)
Enjoy your Spring Training, everyone.
