Orioles: Today in a nutshell
The Orioles have their first day off in this expanded exhibition schedule and they will spend it playing amongst themselves. Today's seven-inning intrasquad game starts at 11 a.m. and will feature Hayden Penn and Danys Baez as the starting pitchers.
Dennis Sarfate, George Sherrill and Jamie Walker are scheduled to make their first competitive appearances of the spring. They have not pitched yet, according to manager Dave Trembley, because relievers don't need as much time to get ready for the season and training camp is a week longer than usual.
Rich Hill said this morning that his arm feels slightly better today. Still don't know if he'll take his turn in the rotation on Saturday. I think it's doubtful.

Pete-Is the game open to the public?
............................................................................................
Pete's reply: I don't think so, because I don't see any fans around.

With injuries to Hill and Parrish, the only vets in camp with 'starter stuff' allowed to compete for the three remaining rotation spots, it's time for Trembley to man up and go to the doctor for a 'CRANIUM RELOCATION PROCEDURE' to cure his severe case of 'OPTICAL RECTOSIS'..... and give JIM JOHNSON a shot at the starting rotation. There are PLENTY of AVAILABLE arms that can't go through the lineup more than once that can compete for that '8th inning role'. As it is, we still may have to use Bergie in the rotaion if injuries keep mounting....

Hi Pete, Eaton in yet? I know he is a long shot, but it should be interesting.

Pete's reply: Haven't see him yet. He's due in town today, but I don't know if we'll see him until tomorrow.
