B squad game. Only Crawford and Manaea (and probably Sabol) are locks to the make the roster. Of course, a lot of the other guys have something to prove.
Interesting to see Auerbach in left field. They really are trying to make him a jack of all trades.

two walks to lead off the game, wild pitch -- second and third no outs.
Stamos -- pop out
Sabol -- K

only negatives: hitting with runners on third, less than 2 outs & mittfuckery by Schmitt and Aldrete.

This team can pitch.

Manaea induced 8 groundouts as well, which is interesting given that he is more of a fly ball pitcher. His sinker has shown a noticeable bump in velocity this spring, which could be a factor.

Wow, just saw that Yajure pitched the last two innings! I'm surprised that he is still in big league camp. Does he really have a shot at making the team? Or is his appearance one of those "called up for the day from minor league camp"?

FWIW, we are now 12-12.

On the downside, Crawford went 0-5, ST avg is now .118.

I've not read anywhere that he's a candidate to break camp with the big club. This staff is loaded; can't see him breaking in.
