Spring Training games don’t matter all that much, at least in terms of the results. The process, or establishing a routine, holds greater significance than the final score. Well, that is how I view games this time of year, especially on the heels of two losses in one day.
Fresh off a win against the Nationals in their Spring Training opener Saturday, the Astros had a split-squad day, with one group remaining in West Palm Beach to play the Cardinals and the other traveling to Port St. Lucie to take on the Mets. If you prefer to watch multiple players within the organization — regulars, prospects, or somewhere in between — then Sunday’s games were the event for you.
