Dodgers VS Texas

I never realized that everyone uses the DH in Spring Training Camp, but it makes sense. Pitchers aren't ready to hit even in September, so why waste the up?
Camelback Park is certainly not Vero Beach, and that's just great. Vero Beach was a lovely little field, not much bigger than a College field, very homey and very close for the fans, but not many of them. Camelback is a HUGH complex for the Dodgers and the White Sox, a side for each on either side of the main field, which they share. For the large size of the field, it still seems close and 'homey' for the fans.
It was a beautiful day at the Park today with the Dodgers playing the Texans with what they announced as the Season's Dodgers. Time will tell. Hanley popped a 2 run homer in the first and it just sort of stayed that way for the rest of the game. Checking out pitchers and bringing in the 'higher numbered uniforms' in the sixth.
Puig got swarmed for autographs on the way to the stadium, causing pandemonium by tossing his cap in the air to beat a hasty retreat that almost caused three people to be trampled. He didn't play!
I'll go see the Sox play the Diamondbacks and then the Dodgers again tomorrow evening.
