Before you go and say something to the effect of, “but Maniac, spring training games don’t count,” I want to assure you that yes, they do count. Especially when you’re one of the 65 guys in camp and extra especially one of the 25 non-roster invitees.
Is there cause for concern?
Now, I don’t want to alarm anyone at this early stage of the preseason, but for the second day in a row, the Miami Marlins had to stage a late-comeback, after the starters had ceded way to the young guys trying to make an impact. In fact, in today’s game, a combination of Washington pitchers held the Marlins scoreless until the seventh innings, when the Marlins managed to score five runs and take the lead.
