Crazy as it sounds... I like the the look better than empty seats.

Seve has notes on a velcro packet on his forearm.

Gameday seems to have gone haywire 

The software probably can't comprehend ending an inning with one out and two men on.

It's like asking WOPR to play an unwinnable game.

Eshelman is the Cy Young Award  Winner of Summer Camp.

What is the reasoning? Who makes that call?

At this point Eshelman could be the Opening Day starter. 

Depends on Means but yes. You can't reallly move up Cobb or LeBlanc unless you skip them Monday or Tuesday.

I would think Phils manager asks Hyde and he agrres.

I mean why push Means? Don’t get me wrong. The kid deserves it but it’s not worth any hint of risk.

Esh 67 pitches thru 4 shutout innings.

Now Wheeler is back out... 

The Orioles should see if this is legal in the regular season.

Wait what? I assumed there was something screwy with gameday. What the hell is that about?

And yet Wheeler is still pitching in the 5th!!!   I thought they ended the top of the 4th early because Wheeler had reached his pitch count and Girardi didn't have someone up.   But Wheeler is out for the 5th.

So he could have faced the Orioles with 2 on and 1 out in the 4th.   Bizarre.

Still, that's good. He's done.

Yeah, push Means back and let him start the home opener in front of the orange and black cardboard cutouts and not the pink hat cardboard cutouts in Boston.

I would crank up the crowd noise a notch or two myself. 

No fake noise! Use the opportunity to mic up the managers and a couple players on each team. There was a viral one they did with Mookie in spring training a while back that was fantastic.

They already named Milone Most Outstanding Pitcher of the Intrasquad games.   Iglesias was MVP.

I wonder if they won a car or something.
