Mateo still worthless.

12-10.

Looks like it's Dolis over Mateo for the MR RHP role so far.

Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't sound like defensively, the Cubs will lose anything by replacing Pena with Rizzo.

12-10 final.

Settle down, it's spring training game. W/L means absolutely nothing.

They won't. Rizzo is considered a very very good fielding first basemen

All in all, a good effort today. Granted some of those hits are chalked up to Arizona playing conditions, but it looked like some of our players were working on specific drills for game situations.

I'm aware of that.

Yes, which is almost less than you are worth.

Hi Jack, was out so missed any news on the game. Seems like the guys did pretty well, most of the A's runs were scored off pitchers that will still be honing their skills in the Minors this season. Good to see the Cardenas kid have a good game. From the box score i get that we were very aggressive on the bases, a few steals and a couple picked off, i like the fact that we aren't going to be a 'one-dimensional' team this season.

The pick offs were dumb plays, ball in the dirt, catcher blocked it, runner got caught thinking he could advance when he couldn't.

I do think we will see a lot more aggressiveness this year, Sveum use to be known for being very aggressive when he was a 3rd base coach

OK, my bad. Thought you were being serious.
