"For now, the games are still fake and still shielded from us by a lack of comprehensive broadcasts. That's why we've really only seen highlights of Edward Cabrera and Ben Brown, with Cade Horton's starts also receiving limited coverage. You can watch him on Guardians.TV tonight, though, so that's a plus."
"Horton had a bumpy start the last time out, but he came away feeling good about his mechanics. Everyone has a bad game every now and then, and I expect him to settle right back in and get back to looking like an ace soon enough. That might not be tonight, especially if he's focused on working on something in particular, but Horton will be fine by the end of the month when it matters."
"While that's the case with any Cactus League campaign, having stars out due to their participation in the WBC creates additional continuity issues. At the same time, it affords even more opportunities for non-roster players to show what they can do."
The Cubs face rising temperatures in Phoenix during spring training, with today's high around 92 degrees before hotter days ahead. Spring training games receive limited comprehensive broadcast coverage, with highlights of pitchers Edward Cabrera, Ben Brown, and Cade Horton available primarily through Guardians.TV. Horton had a bumpy previous start but feels positive about his mechanics and is expected to return to form by month's end. The Cubs lineup operates below full strength due to WBC participation, creating continuity issues but providing opportunities for non-roster players. Matt Shaw, not an NRI, leads off at first base tonight with expanded opportunities across the diamond.
