I like this lineup better than the dumb one the Dbacks put out with Twitter handles.

Why are they using the DH when at NL Home?

Agreed.

Zack Greinke went six up, six down in his Cactus League debut. He threw 16 pitches, 14 for strikes, and topped at 88.3 mph, per Gameday.

Ketel Marte catches a fly ball to end the 3rd inning. Looked pretty natural there in CF on that one.

Can't be better than that. It would be wonderful if he can be a true ace for another year. Keep the long hair, Zack.

Silvino Bracho pitched the 3rd inning after Greinke. He gave up a run on two hits and a walk.

Last season, I cringed every time I saw him on the mound, as they kept sending him down and back up from the Minors all season long.

He is not a Major League pitcher! I think it sends a bad signal to slot him right behind Greinke within Game 2.

I hope we can have a solid relief corps this season to not be desperate enough for Bracho.

The way he hunches over on the mound, making him even smaller, while swinging his pitching elbow back and forth before he pitches.
It is just like a batter. The less moving parts, the better. I don't understand why Torey rates him so highly.
