    Don't trust preseason box scores, many are not totally correct and the pitch tracker is almost always wrong. Pretty much the only time they put up a ball in a count is when someone walks.

    Man, I am feelin good about LF this season.....

    In the ongoing competition for left field, Matt Kemp started in left Tuesday and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Joc Pederson started in center and was 0-for-2 with a walk, caught-stealing and strikeout, and he threw out former Dodger Willie Calhoun at the plate; and Alex Verdugo started in right and was 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Off the bench, Andrew Toles was 0-for-1 with a sacrifice fly and a strikeout.

    Most of the team is down sick so we get basically an MiLB roster today. Font replacing Ryu, with Bellinger, Puig, Kikè, Forsythe, Segedin and Thompson scratched as well.

    Roberts saying about 24-25 guys are affected by this virus going around. May actually explain some of the lethargic play yesterday.

    What's the nation's death toll @ now in regards to the flu?
    May be our best chance of ditching Kemp and Baez.

    Nevermind. With our luck LAD would find Dr. Frankenstein's great great great great great grandson and he'd bring Kemp and Baez back to life.

    Dodgers hitting the ball hard already. Taylor double to right, Pederson smoked a line drive up the middle(caught,shifted) and then Toles drives a HR to right.

    Grandal has looked really bad this spring in the AB's I have seen. Pitchers are beating him to death with breaking balls down in the zone and he continues to swing over them or hit dribblers

    Font strikes out the side in the first. Still looking pretty good and mixing pitches up and down in the zone.

    Ump is squeezing Font. Got over it against Hosmer to eventually K him swinging, but paid for it against Hedges who takes him deep 2 pitches after he shoulda been K'd

    Out of options, so would believe he has a good shot especially after the season he put up. If he could make it work out of the pen that would be perfect.

    Big, lanky Henry Owens now pitching. Was one of the top prospects in all of baseball a couple years ago before his wildness got the better of him. His stuff is filthy, so I am hoping this coaching staff can get him figured out. He's still only 25.

    Yeah, he still can't find the zone. This is not a lot of fun to watch. Still worth stashing in the minors and seeing what they can get out of him this season.
