First and foremost, Slade Cecconi looked solid despite giving up two runs in 2.2 IP. He recorded four strikeouts to just one walk. It\u2019s worth noting that he threw a ton of cutters today, and that was a pitch we didn\u2019t see all that much from him last season. That will be something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Angel Martinez continues to prove that he is a very viable hitter against left handed pitching, as he went 2-2 with a HR and 108 mph double against LHP Austin Gomber. I really wish he would just scrap switch hitting and try to hit as a right handed hitter full time to see it went. He is up to a .385 average and a 1.500 OPS this spring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Outside of that there wasn\u2019t much offense today for the Guardians, as most of the regulars had a day off. The Guardians play the Dodgers tomorrow at 3:05 pm ET and it will be televised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Guardians lost 1-3 to the Rangers today, but there were some positive takeaways.
