Oritz debuts allowing a 3 run first inning homer to that baseball superstar Jake Bauers.

Guardians reply with 2 runs on a Tyler Freeman single after Ramirez Thomas and Naylor all walked

Oritz with another awful inning, 3 singles and a double for 3 more runs. And he's out of there. Yuck

As we all know, when a pitcher is effective in Spring training, it's a great sign. But if he's lousy it doesn't mean anything.

Travis Bazzana with a good day: 2 walks and a 9th inning 3 run homer [off a pitcher who has spent the past 2 summers in High A with ERAs in the mid 4s]. The 2 walks are good signs too.

Not really much else to report for the G's offense. They totaled 5 hits and did little between the 1st and 9th innings.
Brito is worth noting: 0-3 with 2 strikeouts

Pitching:
Velazquex 2 innings 1 hit 1 run 3 walks 1 strikeout.
Kent who has some major league experience, 2 2 1 1 0 2
The rest are minor leaguers not rated among top few dozen prosepcts

Williams pitches today. Bibee is, I imagine, just getting some extra rest. But he does not need to build up starting the opener in a month.

Suspended all activities for the day to watch the game.

Should have known what was in store after that first inning. Cantillo was awful. He escaped the first inning with 2 runs allowed. Started the 2nd without recording an out. His line 1iNN, 3H, 4W, 4R, 4ER, 2K. What a stinker!

The offensive this spring hasn't been anything to write home about.

Noel 0-3 on the day, 2-12 this spring looked lost at the plate. The last out he recorded was a strikeout hacking at pitches that were not close to being strikes.

Schneemann 0-3 on the day 0-9 this spring still looking for his first hit. Didn't have very good plate appearance today.

Hedges 0-2 on the day 0-7 this spring. Nothing new here.

Brennan 0-2 on the day 0-9 this spring.

Martinez 0-1 today 0-9 this spring.

Santana 1-11 this spring

Ramirez 2-10 this spring

Brito 1-2 today 1-9 this spring. Brito did pick up his first hit today. Well struck ball that left the park. If Brito is going to win that battle for second, gotta start being more effective at the plate.

I think you get the picture.

They don't record strikeouts on the stat sheets, so things would look a lot worse than it is.

I'm starting to get a bit concerned. The big boys should be better that this.

If it weren't for the minor leaguers, our record would be worse. We could be 0-8 which would tie us with the sox for last place. Fortunately we are 2-6 .

The only positive I can take away from this spring so far is the fact that the minor leaguers have been playing better baseball than the guys on the big club.

What new! That's been the story of spring training so far.

From what I've learned so far this spring, the farm system is very alive and well.

This is going to be a fun season for the farm system. I'm very optimistic. Is 4 championship out of the realm of possibility?

How bad has the offense been this spring for players that are supposed to be on the opening day lineup???

4-67

.059 BA

That's below the Mendoza line

Didn't bother with the other stats like ops , slug, .... Waste of time.

Can't say its too early in spring training when minor leaguers are out performing and producing.

The sky is falling !!!!!!!!!!

The sky is falling !!!!!!!!!!

I don't think so. I just took a look outside. It's still there.

Just stating some early spring training facts.
