It's a split squad game and it looks like we'll see every non-roster invitee we have. At least I recognize Francoeur and Chacin.

Olivera with another two-hit game, one of those being a double. He's killing it.

Anyone know why Olivera came out of the game?

Ozzie showing the gold glove!

Just looked like regular spring substitution.

I've actually been able to watch the cardinals game today. Olivera's infield single was actually hit harder than his double. He was out in front of a change up and hit a grounder right down the line. The single was a scorched liner up the middle and just about took off the head of the Cardinals pitcher who got a glove on it in self defense, ricocheting the ball to the second baseman.

Swanson and Olivera both have shown flashes of why they are top prospects.

Chacin looked good and should probably make the rotation, unless Fredi Stultses it.

Just looked like regular spring substitution.

Just seemed a little early, especially with the goal of trying to get him as much PT as possible.

Toscano alert

Thought he was a cryptid. Did he play?

Great to see Olivera hitting. Maybe the best news of the Spring.

Toscano played in the Phillies game.
