Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET, Astros right-hander Brandon Bielak is scheduled to take the mound at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and throw his first pitch to the Marlins lineup, marking the start of their 2021 spring training exhibition season. Daniel Castano gets the start for the Fish, to be followed by Nick Neidert after two innings of work. Houston hitters they’ll be facing include Myles Straw, José Altuve, Kyle Tucker, Aledmys Díaz, Jason Castro and Abraham Toro. I can’t wait.
