Split-Squad Lineups vs. Cubs and Brewers (3/20) - Both at 3:05 CT

After that rollicking good time yesterday against the Dbacks, the boys in blue split up to take on two NL Central teams in Maryvale and Mesa. Good starting pitchers from both Chicago and Milwaukee, so it should be a good batting test for both squads.

To pitch against the Cubbies: Osuna, Tejeda, Parish, and Bullington (Zambrano starts for Chicago)

Against the Brew Crew: Davies, Lerew, Colon, Thompson, and Rupe (Gallardo starts for Milly)

We must want Davies to fail

Look at that outfield we gave him. Who the hell is Ed Lucas? Not to mention Yuni.

As far as offense, I don’t even know where to begin.

No one knows who Ed Lucas is.

It’s a mystery. What I’ve found on his baseball-reference.com page is that he’s been with the Royals farm system since 2004 and has had a triple slash of .283/.356/.386 in that time (though he’s only hit .127 in 21 games at Omaha). He doesn’t seem to be anything special, so I’m not sure why he’s at camp.

That’s how we got where we are today.

I'll Be Watching

The KU game when it comes on, but I’ll still follow the baseball game. UNI should put up a good fight, but I think KU’s depth should prevail. St. Mary’s, meanwhile, has nuked my bracket.

I don't understand either

they have an extra chance to start him today since there’s a split squad but Osuna gets the start instead?

sure, davies pitched great today – but who gives a shit? he has shown zero consistency over his career, and i’m tired of seeing him given more chances.. just pull the plug
