What a sweet opening weekend to the Cactus League. Live baseball with lots of up and a few downs, with special appearances by Shohei Ohtani and Garrett Richards. More names will start appearing this week. It feel great. if I had a lawn, I’d go out and mow it just to imagine I was in Tempe and lie would be perfect.

A Little Bit of Angels News
It was Shohei Ohtani Weekend, and his first turn on the mound was a tad more than I expected for a guy who was coming off an injury, hadn’t pitched in a while, was working with a new battery-mate - one who uses a foreign language - for the first time, facing brand-new batters (with little scouting history), he’s younger than all but 2 guys we saw in uniform LAST year (who are all a year older), and him being in camp less than 2 weeks.
