It’s hard to sugarcoat it: the Braves were shelled in Tampa on Saturday afternoon before the skies opened up and mercifully closed the book on their contest with the Yankees. They lost by a final tally of 10-0, and Spencer Strider didn’t fare well at all.
It’s always hard, if not impossible, to say that a player didn’t “do well” in a Spring Training game, since the contests are more live-action opportunities to train than they are exhibition games in a conventional sense. So, while Strider’s line is ghastly (2 1⁄3 innings, seven hits, five runs (four earned), two walks, five strikeouts, two homers allowed), it’s hard to say whether this was because he was trying to get outs and failing, or whether getting outs was secondary to whatever else he was working on during the afternoon.
