Stott and Turner looking good to start this one.

Hit, stolen base, rbi single.

Get em on, get em over, get em in.

Harper hits right side, moves the runner.

Stott and Bohm are gonna be stars.

To be young and so composed going opposite field? That's good stuff.

Curious, why no Schwarber? His last two games were last Monday and Wednesday. Just wondering if they could be trying to trade him, even though I think that is a remote possibility.

Schwarber has been dealing with groin tightness this spring, so they're probably taking a precautionary approach.

Given that Harper is also a little stiff and should be treated carefully, I think that Kody Clemens is going north and we'll see Harper getting a couple DH days and Schwarber getting a couple off days in the early weeks. Clemens will be at 1B and they don't have to mess with moving Bohm around.

Looks like Walker will miss first 3-4 weeks of the season. His injury isn't significant, but he's behind on building up his arm for regular-season workload. Will turn into an April audition for Turnbull.

Thanks for the update

Nice job by the pitchers who are going north today.
