Predictions on how many K's Preston will have today. I'll take 2.

Only because he's only getting three at bats...

BTW, he's 2 for 16 coming in today, with 8 strikeouts. Oh, and one of his hits was a broken bat bloop single. I can see Skipper now: "When, Lord, when will your servant be free?"

Great first inning for Reyes:

K's Hanley Ramirez swinging, K's Dan Uggla looking, and makes Joe Borchard(who's hitting a cool .462 this spring) ground out to Albert.

Bottom 1, 0-0.

Sounds like this game is blacked out except for box scores, but if anyone hears anything about Reyes' velocity, could you post it here?
