Takeaways:
1. Jose "The Gay" Cabalero off for his homeland, went 0-2 with a walk, stole no bases, played errorless SS and turned a DP. He's ours. From now on, we should call him "The Isthmus."
2. The Martian went 1-3 with a run. Thus far this spring, he is hitless (0-6) from the right side, against LH pitchers. Batting lefty, he is 5-9 with two doubles. Unless he starts bashing lefties, he's ticketed for Scranton.
3. Potato Chips Stanton: 1-2 with a walk. His first game all spring. He could celebrate with a can of Pringles.
4. No sign of Spencer Jones. Again. Is he playing for Team Madagascar?
5. Yanquiel Fernandez, the 23-year-old former prospect from Colorado, went 0-2. Why do I care?
6. Max Fried pitched 3 innings, no runs, one hit, three uncharacteristic walks.
7. Yanks ended the game with Osvaldo Bido on the mound. Gave up a run - the only run for Panama. He's 30, on his 3rd team in the last three years. (Pittsburgh, Oakland, Yankees.) An international man of mystery, no minor league stats on mlb.com. Did he just arrive, fully formed? Osvaldo Bido.
8. There was a time when Team Panama would have meant facing Mariano...

Stanton drew a walk?
Did he make it all the way to first base?
Another variation of "Oswald" on the Yankees roster. Ingenious. Cashman's innovations never cease to amaze.
The world is making me saaaad…..misery..,,
I thought Spring Training games were meaningless, but these exhibition prelims for the WBC are more meaningless than that.
Don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
