What it shows: The Martian went one-for-three.
What it doesn't show: He threw out a guy trying to stretch a single into a double. This, one day after he was embarrassed on just such a play. Progress? Don't matter. He's checking apartments in Scranton.
What it shows: George Lombard Jr., now our consensus #1 prospect, went 0-2 with a walk and a K.
What it doesn't show: He got picked off. He's ticketed for Somerset.
What it shows: Spencer Jones went 1-2 with an RBI. No Ks.
What it doesn't show: He stole second, was stranded. Later, he walked with two outs, stranded. Sums it up. Stranded.
What it shows: Will Warren pitched 4 IP, 3 Ks, 2 hits, an unearned run.
What it doesn't show: The Martian saved him on that assist at 2B. Lombard's botched grounder led to the run.
What it shows: Jake Bird got pounded. Two-thirds of an inning, two runs. He's starting to look like a Cashman Cutie, a deal that never bears fruit.
What it doesn't show: How it went down: Leadoff walk. Single to center. Triple to right. Strikeout. Flyout. Hook. Ugh.

Who did the Icy/Hot Patch commercials back a bit? Was that Shaq? And why is that popping into my head now? Does anyone know? And how relevant are Los Yanquis in this life during wartime? Who's on first?
WBC: anybody catch His Majesty's Pitcher Vance Worley yesterday? The guy looks like he got his uniform from the clearance section of a 99 cents store in Da Bronx. But he pitched well, tiptoeing through the Perils of Pauline. Looks like the softer they throw, the less they hit. (Betcha the Red Sox will find a new knuckleballer to torment Yankee fans.)
I checked the boxscore for the Yankee affair. The Martian got a hit right handed, right?
EMERGENCY MEETING IN TAMPA FOR YANKEE MANAGEMENT:
Cashman: How could you let Dominguez hit in that spot? You should've taken him out. Only let him hit left handed. I told you we wanted him to go O-fer from the right side this spring. One more mistake ... one more ... and ... BANG - ZOOM!!!
Boone: Uh, sir yes sir. I forgot about that directive, Sir. Sir, it's just spring training, sir. Uh, I won't forget, sir. Uh, sir yes sir ... sir.
Was that Jazz Chisholm with 4 strikeouts? Plus a grounder that got under his glove somehow on a diving play - probably should've had it. Jazz is already in mid-season form!
Well, the Martian got his one right-handed hit for the year. Although the pitching isn't as good in AAA--given that the guy he hit it off of is headed there, too--means that he could improve with the Scrantoneers. (Also known as the backup singers on Glenn Miller records.)
Cashman may be following the WBC to find his latest unexpected signing from abroad. If the broad lets someone like Worley sign.
Bada boom.
I believe that The Yankees are trying to keep Dominguez and Jones from adding to their stats. This way they can justify sending them to Scranton.
