Well at least Woody looked sharp. :?

BTW, the radio feed is still open and these guys are still praising Rock Cherry. I wonder if he has a legit shot?

I was most worried about Lilly since is "suppose" to be a starter for us, and we payed him a freak load of money.

I have no worries about Lilly. I think he'll do fine in the NL.

His only hit given up in 2 innings was a bunt single, so he had to have looked pretty good.

Well, I guess I have to think how decent Arroyo did in the N.L. last year and hopefully Lilly can do the same.

Danesoz - I love the contrast between your sig and Zambrano pic. :lol:

 

So far it looks like the the starters for the most part have pitched reasonably well. While I am concerned a bit about Prior's velocity, we did hear some reports last week that prior looked great in his live-hitter sessions. Wasnt there some blurb about DLee being impressed with the pitches he threw him? Clearly Prior didnt have good stuff today, but if he showed good stuff earlier in the spring, so its not like he has shown absolutely nothing so far. In any case, I think that news got everyone expecting more from him in this outing. I guess we never learn. I am not writing him off. I still am hopefull he'll have a good year, but not every outing when coming back from arm problems will be great. Lets wait and see.
