Another night game, this time against the Dodgers at Holman Stadium in Vero Beach. With Oliver Perez drawing the evening start, Tom Glavine pitched a simulated game this afternoon at Tradition Field. He made it through without incident, throwing 90 pitches over seven innings to stay on track for Opening Night. Glavine did get his work in, but the lack of intensity during the simulation is definitely a drawback. When Glavine headed toward the dugout between innings, his kids, their gloves extended, called out for a baseball so they could play catch in the box seats.
In other news, Duaner Sanchez finally will throw from a mound tomorrow morning. The session is supposed to last for 30 pitches.
