I'll be at the Disch today & am supposed to get time with Coach Garrido after the game.

He likes to talk about his version of Diners/Drive-Ins/Dives.  Engage the man in some food talk.

Game 1:

McGuire showed a bunch of fastballs to Gurwitz & Marlow, so CJH was ready & waiting. He was a tad early, but that was a smooth, easy stroke. 

That's inexperience on the mound vs experience at the plate. That's the kind of at bat that will help McGuire this Spring.

Matt, FR RHP Mayes on the bump for White.

Strange. On the press box roster, Mayes is on the Orange squad. It lists McGuire as #5 for White.

Is drinking a Shiner Bock in the press box really working "hard?"  Working "smart," perhaps, but not "hard."
