A couple of bloggy notes

So much for the projected rotation starting all of the spring games. Kris Benson will start the spring opener.

And Ron Washington also has some comments on today's intrasquad game.

Yep, it doesn't say much when Metcalf did it too.

Check the stats, absolutely, but look at the face.

Mendoza is in mid-season form.

Advisory for those with Gameday Audio

Tomorrow’s (Wednesday’s) charity game will apparently be broadcast live over the internet via KCSP…I would suspect that the actual station website would be planning to black it out, but not all radio stations are identically rigid when it comes to blacking out games over the Internet, so that’s something to keep in mind.

Read that again, Zebra-cakes.

Benson is more stretched out than original starter Matt Harrison

I don’t give a rip if Benson starts, moreso that something is holding Harrison back…tightness, injury, lack of physical preparedness? Dunno, all of those options are much worse for the team than Benson getting 2 innings.

Why do I need to read it again?

They didn't start Benson as a preference.

They did it because of some issue with Harrison, that is all.
