Post for a rainy Sunday

First of all, the Timber Rattlers played their first game of Spring Training on Friday down in Arizona.  That’s not entirely true.  There is no guarantee that the players on this Timber Rattlers roster will be on the roster when the regular season starts…BUT! HEY! TIMBER RATTLERS WIN!

They beat a team of Reds minor leaguers 4-1.  Check out the boxscore at the bottom of this post from the ever present battlekow on BrewerFan.net.

The main numbers:
Cody Hawn: 1-for-3, RBI
Michael Walker: 2-for-3, RUN, RBI

The starting pitcher was Austin Ross.  His line: 4IP, 3H, R, 0ER, 0BB, K

NOTE: I will be down in Arizona from March 24-29.  I will be filing reports each evening on TimberRattlers.com.  Additionally, I will be at the Timber Rattlers games on March 25 (v. Cincinnati), 26 (v. Cleveland), & 27 (@ San Diego).  There is also (probably) an intrasquad game scheduled on March 28.  The plan is to update you live on my twitter account @CMehring during the games.

Also at the link are boxscores of the other Brewers minor league teams.  Check on the progress of former Rattlers players.

A couple of photos on this rainy Sunday:

From the usual spot.
And from down the third base side there is this to show the last vestiges of the snow.

18 days!  18 DAYS!
