No that is what i want to know. I do not wannas bet on a bunch of batters who I have no clue about.. Wish I knew if frickin players were playing or not.. Guess its just better to wait for reg season. Too much time and effort going into this and I do not even know whoo is gonna bat!! Pitchers I agree are important but if teams have a bunch of nobodies batting I do not want anything to do with it.. Hell doesnt even seem like baseball to me.. Seems like it is just a bunch of tryouts.. I know dick about spring training baseball though.. so ....
Lefthander Wandy Rodriguez, who could begin the season as the Astros' No. 2 starter, is scheduled to pitch two innings today in the Grapefruit League opener against the Cleveland Indians. Righthander Jeff Harris will start for the Indians.
"Location is what I want to work on," said Rodriguez, who will be limited to two innings or 40 pitches. "That's the biggest thing with all my pitches. My biggest responsibility this year is to do my job on the mound, and that's what I'll do."
Rodriguez will be followed by lefthander Mark McLemore, who is competing for the final spot in the rotation. McLemore is also penciled in for two innings or 40 pitches.
Righthanders Chad Paronto, Geoff Geary, Ryan Houston and lefthanders Wesley Wright and Stephen Randolph are expected to pitch in relief.
