Spring training games start today

Spring Training 2009

I was planning on rolling out some college baseball related info today, but its taking longer than I expected, and I want to devote the next few days to working on my Top 30. So instead, I’m going to push the college baseball stuff back. I’m sure some prospects will see game action today, so we’ll have something to talk about. You can talk about it here until my Top 30 hits the site.

  10. NEPP,
    I listened to Hewitt’s first AB. He started 3-0. Took a strike, fouled a couple off, then K’d. I don’t know about the second one.

  15. Hewitt’s second AB he fouled off a pitch, and maybe took a couple pitches before grounding it back up the middle.

  16. Well I didn’t get to the first game today in Bradenton, but I will be there on Thursday in Clearwater…my wife is so excited she can’t even wait for me to get off of work at noon. She is going with one of our neighbors to get there at 10:00. Gates don’t even open until 10:30. I’m telling you, a woman this good is hard to find.

  17. I know one spring training game is about the smallest sample size you can get, but I’m glad to hear that Hewitt was working the count.

  18. And..they’re..off! Almost 200 games to the playoffs. Raise your glasses and repeat after me, May the baseball gods look down on us and bless us with a repeat and may every team with the Phillies written across their chests be at the top of the standings from start to finish. Amen

    Play ball!!!!
