Baseball Media day Presser on Now...Lasorda speaking now

PM should tell Lasorda to shove it for taking Zach Lee from us.

some notes for those not watching(tough to follow since my feed keeps going out):

outfield left to right: watkins, mahtook, katz with Rhymes as primary replacement and starting DH

Mason Katz banged into wall other day and has missed a few days of practice

Ware is a wonderful young man, tough, hit by pitch other day and didn't flinch. certainly feels like he will be able to play in the future

LF Trey Watkins
CF Mikie Mahtook
RF Mason Katz
3B Tyler Hanover
SS Austin Nola
2B Jacoby Jones
1B Alex Edward
C Tyler Ross
DH Raph Rhymes

Jimmy Dykstra and Ryan Berry will be needed out of the pen, so will not be used often as DH (or util)

Mainieri's most successful teams have had more dominant left handed hitting (addressed issue in signing class but lost to draft)

Ben Alsup friday night starter
Kevin Gausman saturday night starter
sunday starter not determined (expected to be Ryan Eades or Kurt McCune)

no pithcer expected to go more than 6 innings (about 75 pitches)

Ty Jones suspended for first weekend and will not be dressed out (candidate to pitch on tuesday)


my feed is out cold... that's all I have

Also says Tyler Jones suspended for the week...disciplinary problems...so Eades or McCune pitching on Sunday.

Oh...and PMs hat is higher than any of Miles...

If Lee would've stayed our rotation would be sick

Good chance it will be anyway. Let's hope.

Got hit by a pitch during Saturday scrimmage as well.

I really like Eades. I think he will be a solid weekend starter.
