Miguel Batista is starting for the Mariners. From the Mariners mlb.com site: Right-hander Brandon Morrow -- the fifth overall pick last June and the only member of last year's draft class in the Major League camp -- makes his first Cactus League appearance on Monday against the Cubs. He is slated to pitch the eighth inning.

 

ETA: Thanks, Bruce!

Ooo, Prior and Wood.

 

And ooo, Morrow.

[Yeti]

Len and Bob mentioned that Prior will be pitching too.

[PrimeTime]

[Laura]

How many pitches is Prior going to throw before his arm falls off? I say 22.

[Sammy Sofa]

I say the Cubs bounce back and only lose by 2!

[A New Era]

Too many good pitchers there today. If Prior, Wood, And Lilly all get 2 innings. Then the Cubs will likely win. That is unless Lou puts out a forfiet line-up. But I think he wants the team to win it's first ST game.

[badger1679666666]

Man is it nice to know Prior and Wood will both be pitching tomorrow.

[VanceJergins]

Dang it. The game I've been most looking forward to is the first game I'm going to have to miss. School is stupid, I should just give blood and collect welfare my whole life.

[Butterscup1679666578]

damn i was hoping this game would be on WGN. oh well.

Wood will only get 1 inning.

Yeah good point. Soon as you said it, I thought. DAMN he's prob. right.

[C.C.]

Here's hoping that Prior and Wood pitch well, pain-free, and can pitch again after today....

[98navigator]

I get the feeling Woody is really ready but Mark's confidence is shaken... Regardless, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they will both pitch well.

[Mephistopheles]

Can someone pinch me, I must be dreaming that Prior is in this threads subject line.

[Bull]

Are game threads officially the foul language threads this year?

[moorecg]

Did you guys hear Prior and Wood are pitching today? :D

Interesting, thanks Bruce! How's that Kincade guy look so far?

[Bruce Miles]

Interesting, thanks Bruce! How's that Kincade guy look so far?

 

Haven't seen a lot of Kinkade because he was slowed at the beginning of camp after recovering from some knee surgery.

[RichHillIsABeast]

I don't think our offense is going to win this one. :lol:

[Laura]

Thanks, Bruce! Seems like Lou is definitely giving opportunities to the borderline guys, which may help down the road even though the roster heading into the season seems close to set.

 

And Raisin has a snazzy new sig!
