This is a Sunday Special of a Spring Training lineup if ever I've seen one.

Brutal.

That said, how nice is it to see EDLC and Marte back-to-back in the lineup?

Split squad this weekend. Most of the starters went to Vegas, with Myers drawing the short straw having to stay in AZ with the second team.

Heartbreaking news: Rays radio broadcaster Dave Wills died early this morning.

He was 58, had been with team since 2005, and immensely popular and well-liked.

Team canceled today’s schedule broadcast, will have a moment of silence before game.

Benson is fast!

He's certainly showing out so far.

[757690]

Decent two, if unspectacular innings from Cessa. It’s early, but he seems to be the front runner for one of the final two rotation spots.

Daniel Norris is showing why he's not all that great an option as a relief arm, southpaw or no.

EDLC has a two-hit game going and will likely get at least one more PA, perhaps more. (He's the DH today.)

Edwin Arroyo, 19-year-old SS likely ticketed for Dayton, had a hit in two PAs.

That is, IIRC, two games and two hits in three PAs.

He does not look overmatched. That augers well for his development, IMO.

Scary scene in Tempe where a fan was struck by a foul ball in the 9th inning.

After the game was done, Chuckie Robinson, who hit the ball, went to check on the fan, who was alert and talking.

Robinson returned with a pair of bats to give to the fan.
