Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.

Agree about the contenders, but IMO Oliver and Smyly should get as least two starts , and this will be only Wilk's first start as well. Some how finding a 5th starter is not being done with a good setup of using the contenders in the role of how they Will be used in the season!!!!!!
Again his is just another reason of how Leyland does not get his team ready for the season. Who ever the 5th starter is he is going to ill perpaired in his April starts. Leyland did not start Coke in 2010 after Tigers said he would be a starter in 2011, and look at what happen last season!
There times this outeit says something, and then does not follow up with a good plan to fix the problem!! Examples are a need for a leftfielder that bats lefthanded, Polanco's replacement at secondbase.

This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in Lakeland. Not a spot to be had on the berm.

[kalinecountry]

Holliday two-run homer off Wilk in the first. 2-0 Cards

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers hitters Jackson, Boesch, Cabrera first pitch swinging, three up, three down...

 

[kalinecountry]

Wilk gives up a single and a strikeout into a double play runner stealing out at second, 2 out walk and a ground out.

 

[kalinecountry]

Prince singles, wild pitch to Delmon and Fielder gets to second, Delmon walks!!!! Raburn k's swinging 3 straight pitches, Peralta walks bases loaded, Kelly lines into a double play...

 

[kalinecountry]

Wilk's four-seamer consistently touching 88 mph.

 

[kalinecountry]

Wilk allows another single, this is looking like it's coming down to either Oliver, Smyly, maybe Below? for the 5th spot, imo.
.218 career hitter greene 2 for 2,
another walk, holliday lines out, another single run scores 3 - 0,
sounds like batting practice with Wilk,
runner caught stealing third,
berkman singles, line out to Jackson.

 

[kalinecountry]

Holaday k's swinging,
Jackson lines to short,
Boesch grounds out.

Oliver takes over for Wilk in the fourth. Still 3-0 Cards.
