Spring Training Game 9 Preview: Padres at Rangers

San Diego vs. Texas
at Surprise, Ariz., 12:05 p.m. PT

(Note: I apologize for the lateness of this post, Blogger has been down most of the morning).

Greg Maddux makes his second spring start, scheduled to throw 3 innings. Does anyone else remember when Maddux had trouble getting past 60 pitches last year at the beginning of the season? Maybe if we start getting him his regular starts now, he can avoid those issues this season. The Padres will face A.J. Murray, who in 28 IP last year went 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA, struck out 18 and walked 15.
