Last day at Maryvale. I’m taking in the Gallardo/Lincecum matchup as a fan today. Sunny, 70 degrees and the sights and sounds (and smells) of the crowd. 

I have the greatest seat in the house from the TV booth, but it’s nice to watch a game from a different perspective sometimes. It’s a beautiful game from any angle.

There is not much left to accomplish in the Cactus League other than the final bench spot. After watching Corey Hart play well, 2 hits, in a minor league game Sunday morning, my guess is that Hart will open the season in Milwaukee, which leaves two players (Brooks Conrad, Travis Ishikawa) for one job. You feel for the anxiety those two must be experiencing.

Still three more days in Phoenix. Join Rock and me on the webcast Monday from Glendale, and on FS Wisconsin Wednesday afternoon from Chase Field for the final game of the exhibition season.

Opening Day is Friday at Miller Park. Until then, stay healthy!
