I know Olt worked a 3-2 count in one AB...let me scroll back and
see what he did...

'GN missed Olt's first AB (when he popped up while they were
doing a bit on the new stadium) and in his second he worked a
full count, then looked at a fastball for strike 3. He's not as
big as I thought he might be.
Castro and Grimm have been the highlights. Well, and Len and JD
-- I really like them as announcers. Smart, insightful, no
clichés, and funny.

Yeah, struck out looking at a 3-2 fastball that just caught a
bit of the outside black...

Len and JD state that Blake Parker isn't guaranteed a job in the
pen this spring.
I find that hard to believe, looking at the numbers he put up
last season.

Does Rickie know that this game is on TV back in Chicago, that
the crowd in Mesa is huge, and no one really wants to see Aaron
Cunningham, Jeudy Valadez and Casper Wells? At least 2 of
Baez/Bryant/Soler/Almora, please.

Parker may get squeezed out by numbers. Right now, Veras,
Strop, Wright, Russell, and Villanueva are guaranteed spots.
Cabrera is out of options, so that may help him. That leaves at
least 3-4 guys who they'd like to carry for 1 spot (maybe 2 if
they don't carry Cabrera): Parker, Grimm, Rusin, and Rondon at
least; maybe McDonald, Rosscup, and another non-roster guy or
two. So I could see how he'd get pushed out.
I agree that he should be a lock, though. I expect he'll make
it--right now, it looks likely that Arrieta won't be ready for
the season, so that will put Villanueva or Rusin in the 5th
starter's spot. I think we'll probably see at least one or two
of the Villanueva/Russell/Cabrera group traded by the beginning
of the season too.

Rusin is getting pounded today. 1 2/3 IP, 4 runs so far. 31
pitches in the second inning.
