Sorry folks. A friend of mine who I haven't seen for almost 15 years called and told me he was in town on business and was only free this morning I met up with him and caught up on old times instead of my usual ballpark routine. I did take him by Scottsdale Stadium, but we were only there for long enough for me to show him the park and watch just a little bit of batting practice.
The batters faced live batting practice against the pitchers again today. I saw Matt Morris, Armando Benitez and Tim Worrell pitch. If anything, the hitters did even worse against these three pitchers than they had done yesterday. Benitez was throwing smoke and it looked like he was throwing nothing but strikes. The hitters were totally overmatched. Barry Bonds did take Matt Morris to the warning track, but I didn't see many other hard hit balls.
I didn't take any photos. If I have time I will post a few photos that I took earlier but that haven't been posted here yet. Sorry......back to the normal routine tomorrow.

Nothing like old friends showing up. We left a lot of friends when we moved down here, but of course they like to come visit at this time of year.
Nice to hear that the pitchers seem to be on target. The bats will come around. See you soon, guy.
Hank...is the media guide out yet? Or is there a list somewhere with the uniform numbers for all the minor leaguers/NRIs??
Thanks, buddy! See you in three weeks!!! Can't wait!!
Hey, even on a day where you are "not working" you still managed to give us some good inside info. Nice! And BB taking Matty Mo to the warning track...love it!! Bet MM is glad to not have to face THAT anymore!
Hey GRMG....the Giants website has all of the NRI with uniform numbers listed. The only one not listed is Todd Greene. He is wearing #78.
