With one day to go before the start of Grapefruit League action, Davey Martinez and his club put in work on Friday, preparing for the first game of the spring, which takes place today in West Palm Beach, FL (6:05 PM ET; Radio: nats.com; with a replay on the MLB Network at 10:00 PM).
“We really wanted to work on some — like the simple things I always talk about,” Martinez told reporters on Friday afternoon, simple things like some situational hitting, running the bases, and going over the new approach with tags (with MLB asking umpires to enforce the obstruction rules around the bases).
