Blue Jays officially playing a split-squad game (other game in Tampa vs. Yankees), but they obviously kept most of the big club at home to face the Phils. (I see that Brett Oberholtzer is starting their other game vs. the Yanks!)

[Squire]

Well the Blue Jays split squad has about 4 times the amount of their regular lineup than our non-split squad. At least the Phillies were smart enough to get their A lineup out there yesterday against the Yankees on TV.

Extra week of spring training this year. We can take our time with the big-leaguers.

Wish I could see this one with so many of the prospects/borderline guys playing.

The Phils aren't televising today, but apparently the Blue Jays are; it's listed on mlb.tv. I clicked the link a minute ago, but so far, it hasn't loaded...

We're through two innings, and it's 3-2 Phils. That's all I know at this point.

Oy.

Gameday went completely south - evidently the various changes by the Jays overwhelmed whoever was doing the data entry; Franzke and LA were a bit lost themselves, and they're experienced (I doubt the mlbam person in Dunedin is, judging from today's struggles).

That said...

PTOITWCFTPP!
