3/1 Gamecrap
8-8 tie with Houston. Among the good:
- Joe Kelly with 2 scoreless innings
- Descalso 2 for 2 with a couple of RBIs
- Adron Chambers hit a 3-run HR
- Kozma 2 for 4 with an RBI
- Eduardo Sanchez pitched another scoreless inning and, more importantly, didn't walk anyone
- We scored 2 runs off Bud Norris (hey, I know it's spring, but this never happens)
The bad:
- Taveras, Freese and Adams all went 0-fer.
- Motte got tagged for a 2-run bomb (and according to the P-D, it went a L-O-N-G way)
- Scrabble sucks. He didn't give up any runs, but 1 IP, 1 H and 2 BB isn't going to cut it.
- Again I ask, why is Victor Marte in camp? Today he coughed up 2 runs in the 9th to bring about the tie.

Re: 3/1 Gamecrap
The other takeaway from Strauss yesterday is that he is handicapping the Race for the Fifth Starter as being Kelly's. Assuming Miller is healthy and performing well I think he should get the spot ahead of him, but the Cardinals apparently liked what they saw last year and Strauss thinks that gives him the edge.

Re: 3/1 Gamecrap
I heard that. If Kelly wins the spot convincingly, I don't have a problem with it. After the way he finished the season at Memphis, I'm not sure what Miller has to prove down there. In Rosenthal's case, he's never started a game above AA, so if they view him as a starter I don't have a problem if he gets some exposure at AAA.
