CLEARWATER, Fla. - There will be no quick hook for Aaron Nola this opening day. As long as he's effective and getting the job done, he's staying in the game longer than 68 pitches. There are no restrictions.
"Absolutely none," pitching coach Chris Young said.
With Young looking on and Andrew Knapp doing the catching, Nola made his final start of the spring in a minor-league game at Carpenter Complex on Friday.
