Luebke must have a helluva move...2 pickoffs thus far (Cozart @ 1B and Bruce @ 2B).

Just seeing the current date on a game thread makes me giddy.

A glimpse into the future (Dusty & the DH)? Reserve C DH's and bats 9th.

How did Arroyo do after this? He's the one I'm watching most closely this spring.

Didn't see, but according to the box: 3 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk, 0 Ks 1 ER. So he did alright following the homer, very Bronsonesque.

Thanks. I did read on Fays blog that he was clocked at 89. Which is about what he should be at, maybe 90 at best. Arroyo said he felt the best he has in a few years and last season he felt like he had to really bust it to get his pitches to 86. Maybe a good sign for him. We'll see.
