Lets all be glad that this is just the beginning of spring training. Even though this game wasn't broadcast anywhere, i'm sure we can all picture the carnage.

The pitching wasn't exactly stellar either, though all the runs were uneraned. Still though two dingers, is two dingers. But we can take solace in that the first outing in Spring Training for pitchers is completely meaningless. I'd be very surprised if they were allowed to throw much more than fastball and offspeed stuff to start.

Now if Rolando goes out and keeps doing the same thing in his next 3-4 appearances, then there may be cause to worry.
