Jahmai Jones catches a wind blown pop in shallow RF, falling down, for the 3rd out.

11-7 going to the bottom of the 8th.

I thought Westburg was supposed to have a good glove at short?

Not an auspicious start.

One really good plus play, and two bad ones.  He has had 5 previous plate appearances this spring, no idea how many chances he's gotten in the field.

Ciuffo struck out.

Wynns hit by a pitch.

Nevin flies out, sounds pretty hard hit

Jahmai Jones flies out.  Going to the 9th.

And here I was worried about the swing and miss in his bat.

Evan Phillips on to pitch the 9th.

And his second pitch lands beyond the left field fence on that little plaza with palm trees and tables.

Yeah. Don’t think I have heard he was sent out. Also thought with him being a catcher that is why. 

I was wrong. Went back and skimmed thru Roch's columns. From Friday's:

Rutschman is 3-for-15 with two doubles, three walks and six strikeouts while waiting for his reassignment to Twin Lakes Park.

Phillips gets 3 relatively painless outs after the HR.  12-7 to the bottom of the 9th.

Shaw strikes out.

Handley (who?) strikes out.

Westburg grounds out.

Three game winning streak over.

See y'all.

Maverick Handley. Low level catcher, but could work his way up to be the backup in a few seasons. Good “catch and throw” guy with a rifle arm.

Oh yeah, I remember him now.  If I had heard his first name it would have clicked with me

Doesn't three blasted HRs tell you a little bit about how he was???

Yes, but at the same time I thought that ship sailed on Felix along time ago and it seems that he still being considered
