Cubs 2, Dodgers 2: Tying one on

The thing I want to know most about this game: What happened to Frank Schwindel?

The Cubs first baseman took one at-bat, in the first inning, and singled to left. He played the first two innings in the field and then, suddenly, Jared Young was batting for him in the top of the third. This is unusual for a regular in a spring game — the others in this game took three at-bats. The Dodgers broadcast crew was puzzled, wondering why a guy would go all the way to Glendale from Mesa (about a 30-mile, 35-minute ride) to take just one at-bat, and the SportsNet LA graphics folks didn’t get the memo:

So, I’m hoping nothing major is wrong with Schwindel.
