I have been reliably informed by AW members that it's in Albert's contract.

It is an irrefutable fact.

Ward catching.  If he can catch at all, it would be nice to have another option back there that can hit a little bit, in case of injury. 

[AngelStew43]

Maybe another look at Detmers and Rodriguez as well.  Cool. 

[tdawg87]

Suarez is available so that's 5 runs already for Seattle. Hopefully we can battle back.

[bloodbrother]

Rodriguez/Detmers again today. Sweet

I hope we get to see them, but with only 6 innings, their turns might not come.  I really don't like these shortened games.

Maddon will find a way.

I hope so, but Barria is starting and presumably will go 2 innings and there are 4 other pitchers listed before them. I have no idea why someone like Jake Reed is getting appearances this spring, so hopefully he won't take away opportunities from people like Detmers and Rodriguez in these shortened games...

Barria for 2, Buttrey for 1, Pena for 1, CRod and Detmers 1 each. Also a lot of those guys won't go a full inning.

I think they'll at least see a couple batters each.

[BTH]

This is Alex Cobb's turn in the rotation and he's not starting tomorrow either, as Heaney is.

So I'm guessing he's pitching in a sim game/B game today?

Lineup - 3-7 vs. SEA.PDF Roster - March 7 vs. SEA.PDF

Hopefully, Maddon is just feeding Albert's ego in the Spring so he doesn't have to do so in the regular season.

Game notes say Pena, Suarez, and Buttrey are all scheduled.  Booo.

Gubi has a different mask on today, so maybe he saw the posts and tweets about it.  It sounds better than yesterday, but is still slightly muffled, unfortunately.

What's funny is, you know Gubi and Mota are making out when the cameras are off anyway.

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

[Docwaukee]

Jose Mota seems like a really good dude.  If he's our pbp guy for the season, that's gonna be rough.  

[Inside Pitch]

What you don't like calls like "and there he throws, real hard, and he throws and it misses".

Ohtani has impressed with the glove.  

[eligrba4ever]

Uh oh. Possible spring phenom rising in the Northwest. 

[Docwaukee]

Logan Gilbert for the M's has good stuff.  Was kinda bummed he got taken before the Halos had a chance to get him.
