Micah/Anderson the DP combo of the future?

Looks like we get to see Anderson hit a couple times

Sanchez and Johnson both starting off similar

I now don't want Soto to make the team just so I don't have to see that damn stretch and touch the dirt every time he throws the ball back to the pitcher.

3 pitch strikeout by Johnson. I don't think the 1st pitch was actually a strike though.

Danks lets up a double to Darwin Barney

Does Soto do that every time he throws the ball back to the pitcher?

Lead off single for Pederson

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 5, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) His second at bat will be against somebody else. I know but it will be interesting to see what he does off Kershaw.

Johnson leading off against Kershaw? Interesting

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 11:04 PM) The more I think about this team the more I like it. They also replaced Dunn and Viciedo with Melky and La Roche, that's good for 5-8 runs saved right there (including La Roche taking 30 starts away from Jose as well, which is a good thing all around) and then you add in the possibility of Sanchez at 2B and they could easily be 1-2 wins better defensively. One thing Hahn did, he didn't just add to the team, he added almost perfectly at the margins. Bullpen, Defense, Base Running were this team's bugaboos last year. For once it wasn't getting on base. Fix a couple of those areas, improve a little more on offense, and there's your 88 wins and a division title or wild card. Not saying they are going to win 88 but they certainly have a chance. I think the over under is 82-84 but once in awhile this team could peak out at 88-90. And bottom to 78-80 of course. Let's hope for health and the new additions to contribute. So what happens when Micah wins the job?

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 04:51 PM) Couldn't watch, working, but looked at Gameday just now (not sure I can trust it's info today, seemed buggy). Kid's likely nervous with the walks and falling behind. And the high A ball to big league camp thing. His MO has been strike 1. But most interested in how CH's swing looks. Does it look viable with refinement, or is more of a hopeful hack? Yeah, he struggled with control but nobody hit the ball hard off him. The single was your typical single to the outfield.

Micah Johnson just looks like he belongs

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) Things I'm not surprised by: Danish getting lit up in Arizona. He didn't get lit up.

Limits the damage with a DP and Foul pop out to 1B

Gets a DP after loading the bases

Danish not looking good. Walk-single-walk

Danish alert

Sanchez ground out. 0-3

Nice backhand play by Saladnio at SS Davidson in at 3B

Brantly strikes out

QUOTE (glangon @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Ramirez with a 2 run double. Saladino pinch running for him. LOL you guys are too slow for me

Saladino PR

Ramirez with a 2 run double!

Shuck PR for Garcia after walking
