Watkins will be followed by Travis Lakins Sr., Tanner Scott, Nick Vespi, Diogenes Almengo, Buddy Baumann, and Cole Uvila.

Colton Cowser, Jordan Westberg, and Joey Ortiz are over from minor league camp and are expected to see action today.

Had to look up Baumann and Uvila. Baumann hasn't pitched anywhere since 2018. Uvila was a minor league signing wo mostly played in AA last year at 27-years of age. It's always interesting when guys are scheduled to pitch who are not even officially invited to major league spring camp.

Honestly with the group they have, I'm hoping he is. I can live with the lack of offense for now but I want that glove over there. 

Yeah it’s not like there’s a good bat who can play 3B, so let’s go with someone who has an above average skill in some area.

I wonder how many ST games Means and Lyons will pitch in seeing that they're the two locks on the rotation. I've always heard pitchers need more time in the spring but getting in games should be helpful to them one would think.

Might see Urias at 3B some.

I’m fine with that. Between the four IF we should have on the roster, there’s plenty of ABs to go around for 3 positions.

My clock AM/FM radio that I got at Walgreen's for a wildly overpriced $21 this morning is ready to go. 

The audio quality is, uh, somewhat lacking.

But hey, you got AM and FM both.  That's value.

It's got alarm 1 AND alarm 2 with both buzzer and radio. That's 8 possible combinations!!!

Watkins strikes out the first batter of the game. He looks like a guy!!

 

[interloper]

First hit of the 2022 baseball season: DJ Stewart. 

First walk: Kelvin Gutierrez.

First K: Kyle Stowers.

Nevin 2 run double! After an extended AB. Berrios out of the game after 0.2 IP.
