The second full-squad workout at the Carpenter Complex was a little sleepy (maybe it was the disappearance of the sun?).

Pitchers participated in PFP (pitcher's fielding practice), position players pretended to take throws to their respective bases (a pitching machine fired strikes at the bags) and many also got their work in on the base paths and in the batting cage.


Tomorrow should deliver more baseball eye candy to Clearwater -- it's the first day of live BPs. Personally, it's my favorite time at camp because it's the only time all year you can see Ryan Howard take hacks against Cole Hamels, Jimmy Rollins step in against Jamie Moyer, etc.

Actually, here are three matchups you are guaranteed to see at the Carpenter Complex if you go tomorrow: Roy Halladay will face Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez and Domonic Brown.


Which reminds me of my favorite thing to watch today.

Domomic Brown looked darn good in the cage.... on the base paths, he was getting tutelage from stolen base guru Davey Lopes. That's like getting throwing-a-slider advice from Lefty.

Time to write. Be on the lookout for another video blog up on delcotimes.com later today.

(my favorite thing about this blog post: the Halladay pic is my professional Delco Times photographer Eric Hartline and his serious camera. The Brown photo is by yours truly, via camera phone. Slight quality difference, eh?)

Oh, and here's Eric's shot of J-Beard.
