Talk about your hot prospects and absurd spring training stats that will surely translate to the regular season.

They've been pretty quiet that I've noticed. I guess beating the Astros gets you on the other side of the smugness. Zimmerman said something along the lines of "they have should have cheated better to beat us." Dave Martinez says he expects today's game to be nothing out of the ordinary.

But I did find this.

It has reached that point of a spring training game where I've never heard of a single guy playing on my team.

That's not true. Erik Kratz is still the DH.

Javy's first AB of spring training is a... walk? Where he took a 3-2 pitch? :psyduck:

e. And then Almora's first AB is an oppo double. It's the first game of spring training so none of it matters, but this is still bizzarro land

Gee, I wonder where there's competition in camp for a starting spot among the Cardinals' position players. What's that, the outfield? Good thing literally every RBI so far for the Cardinals has been from outfielders.

Also the Astros continue to not play any of their 2017 players. Cowards.

i hope the astros don't play any of their 2017 roster all year long, that'd be cool and noble and i'd accept that as an apology

the angels might play today, but it won't be as fun as them playing yesterday against the white sox would have been

Baez draws another walk...

On a 3-2 count after hitting a ball just barely foul. Usually he swings out of his shoes in that situation.

Hell half the fun of spring training is watching the endless swarm of bullpen guys getting looks be absolutely shelled. Even if they're your guys.

Speak of, this Tepera guy kinda sucks. But then again he signed a one year, $900K contract with us so I'm not sure what I was expecting.

Spring Training is where you see a pitcher for the first time and say "I've never heard of you before" and then 6 batters later you say goodbye to him forever.
