Akin struggling to throw strikes? Is it his weight? Is the Ump protesting the idea of robots calling strikes?

Akin has never been very good early on. Most of the time it's blamed on poor conditioning but he just typically struggles in the spring.

Is Akin just John Parrish? Feel like Akin is destined to be a middle reliever.

Vespi another scoreless inning.

Seen a lot of minor leaguers so far but interestingly, we have not seen Gunnar Henderson yet.

Chris Owings: doubles machine.

I've been saying for many years he's going to end up in the bullpen.

Gunnar got in Saturday's game.   Played some short, had an at bat.

So far to me he looks like a Markakis clone.

Command seems to be an issue today for a lot of guys. Sulser two walks so far.

Thanks, missed that.
