The regular season is just three days away, but in the meantime, there is more fake baseball. Fake baseball that looks an awful lot like real baseball! After a humdrum loss yesterday, the A’s look to “tie the series,” a series that will take on a little bit of extra meaning when the team’s meet in the summer.
Lineups are below.
(The Giants lineup would be Joe Panik, Brandon Belt, Andrew McCutchen, Buster Posey, Evan Longoria, Brandon Crawford, Hunter Pence, Austin Jackson, and Derek Holland)
Thanks to the sanctity of spring training, the A’s will employ a DH in Khris Davis while the Giants’ starter Derek Holland, whom I have just now learned is no longer a Texas Ranger, will be batting.
