Spring Training Game 8 - Friday Afternoon, February 28th in Clearwater
Record - 6-1-1

One Sentence Summary:  The Phils won on a quirky walk-off error set in motion on a ground ball to second off the bat of top prospect Bryson Stott.

What It Means:  The late February strep throat virus has struck our household and I followed along with this game as I fell in and out of naps.

What Happened:  Bryce Harper just missed a grand slam in the fifth and instead had to settle for a bases-clearing double.  Aaron Nola allowed a pair of runs in his two innings of work.

Featured Card:  At some point on Friday, the Phillies admitted that their presumed starting left fielder, Andrew McCutchen, wouldn't be ready by opening day as he's still recovering from his gruesome knee injury from last season.

Camp Head Count:  70
