The Cleveland Indians and their “neighbors” at Goodyear, the Cincinnati Reds, will open up Spring Training tomorrow to officially welcome back baseball as the official “season”. The weather might not be perfect where you’re at but it’s beautiful in Arizona and that’s what matters.
Josh Tomlin will take the ball first for the Tribe pitchers as he’ll throw just an inning against the Reds as he’ll be followed by a cavalcade of other arms in search of roster spots. I think that he’s the first Tribe pitcher this season is fitting, as I think he needs to be the first outside of the “Big three” to get a rotation spot.
