JUPITER Pete Rose Jersey , Fla. (AP) —where Don Mattingly has arrived for the first day of spring training without any mystery regarding who would be on the 25-man roster coming out of camp.This is not one of those years.And that’s just fine with the manager of the Miami Marlins, who is entering his fourth season — and the last under his current contract — with the club that is entering 2019 in a rebuilding mode that has no end in sight. Most pitchers and catchers took part in their first official workout of the spring on Wednesday, an unseasonably cool and drizzly day in South Florida.“I like the thought of our competition and the way we’re going,” Mattingly said. “It’s a competitive camp. I think guys react better when they have to compete, fight for things. We find out more about them and hopefully as time continues we just keep stacking up talent where everybody’s always fighting to have to show what they can do or there’s another guy wanting that spot.”The jerseys were new, a shade of blue that’s part of the team’s rebranded scheme. Many of the faces were new, most notably catcher Jorge Alfaro — the presumptive starter behind the plate after the Marlins got him in the trade that sent J.T. Realmuto to Philadelphia. But the approach, Mattingly said, won’t be that different than was the case in past spring trainings.“And if you probably looked at all 30 clubs, they’re doing similar things,” Mattingly said. “You just ask your guys to go do it better.”Mattingly averaged 89 wins in his five seasons managing the Los Angeles Dodgers. His three seasons in Miami have resulted in 79, 77 and 63 wins respectively http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-dave-hollins-jersey , a downward trend that likely can’t continue if he’s going to be back with the Marlins in 2020.Mattingly has repeatedly said he’s not worried about it, and reiterated Wednesday that not much really makes him anxious anymore. He understands where the Marlins are, and how this total rebuild of the organization — from Single-A ball to the majors and anything and everything in between — was necessary when the regime led by Derek Jeter took over.“It’s like everyone in this organization, on the baseball side or the business side: Everyone’s up for evaluation at the end of the year and we’ll see how we’re going to move forward,” said Jeter, the Marlins’ CEO. “Donnie’s under contract. I’ve known Donnie a long time. Played with Donnie … I’ve learned a lot from him throughout the years. But like everyone else in the organization, he’s under contract and he’ll be evaluated at the end of the year.”The first full-squad workout is set for Monday, but these five days to concentrate on pitchers and catchers is vital in Mattingly’s eyes.Miami had 13 pitchers start a game last year, and as many as seven of them figure to have a real shot at making the rotation coming out of spring. There are also some arms in the minors that Miami will take a long look at this spring.So decisions will need to be made, and Mattingly will have about six weeks to make the right ones before the games start to count.“There’s hopefully a number of guys that are showing that they’re capable,” Mattingly said. “Every year you see pitching staffs come out of the blue, a bullpen or something that turns from being something people wouldn’t expect (to be good) to one of the best in baseball. I think we’ve got a number of good arms. We’ve got a number of guys who we feel have really good stuff.” WASHINGTON (AP) — Nationals slugger Bryce Harper got hit by a pitch and soon left the field. Then Reds star Joey Votto got hit and immediately went off — on the Nats.The second game of a doubleheader turned testy Saturday night after a pair of former NL MVPs got plunked during Washington’s 6-2 win for a split.In the sixth inning John Kruk Jersey , Harper was hit in the right kneecap by Austin Brice. Harper initially struggled to put any weight on his leg, but ultimately made his way to first base.But Harper labored defensively chasing after a double by Mason Williams in the seventh and was immediately replaced in right field by Adam Eaton.“It hurts,” Harper said. “I’ll see where I’m at (Sunday) and go from there.”In the eighth, Votto was hit for the second time in the game, nailed in the leg by Ryan Madson’s first pitch.Votto gestured at Madson as he took first base. After being retired on a forceout at second to end the inning, Votto waved at Washington’s dugout, prompting plate umpire Andy Fletcher to warn both teams.Cincinnati interim manager Jim Riggleman said the Madson pitch “certainly appeared (intentional). The only person who knows is the person who threw the pitch.”That person says the Reds had the wrong read.“No. I didn’t mean to hit him,” Madson said. “Definitely didn’t mean to hurt him. Nothing like that. Hopefully, he’s OK.”Votto, who also was hit in the first inning, remained in the game. He was not available to reporters after it was over.“I was just in pain,” Harper said. “There was no point in being out there.”Washington’s Spencer Kieboom was hit in the seventh.The Reds won a tame opener 7-1 before tempers flared.Anthony Rendon had a pair of RBI doubles and Matt Adams homered in the second game for Washington.Jose Peraza led off the game with a homer for Cincinnati and Eugenio Suarez hit his 26th home run.The Nationals scored single runs in each of the opening five innings against Matt Harvey (5-7).“It was kind of a battle from beginning http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-greg-luzinski-jersey ,” Harvey said. “It’s never good when you give up a run every inning. It’s obviously not ideal.”Jeremy Hellickson (5-2) pitched into the sixth. The Nationals have won four of five.In the opener, Cincinnati starter Anthony DeSclafani (5-3) allowed one run in seven innings, stopping Washington’s three-game winning streak.The Reds had six runs and 10 hits against Gio Gonzalez (6-, who lasted only 3 2/3 innings. He has lost seven straight decisions.“If I knew the answer to that, it’d be a different outcome,” Gonzalez said of his struggles. “Right now, I’m just trying to battle through whatever I’m going through. Hopefully start catching my breaks. Tide will change.”Phillip Ervin hit a three-run homer and Brandon Dixon had a solo shot as the Reds snapped a three-game losing streak.WELCOMEReds pitcher Jesus Reyes made his major league debut in the bottom of the seventh. He hit Kieboom, the first batter faced, with a pitch before settling down for two innings of scoreless relief.TRAINER’S ROOMReds: Brice was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to serve as the 26th man for the second game. He replaced Harvey in the fifth, hit Harper with a pitch and allowed one run in two innings.Nationals: Pitcher Stephen Strasburg, put on the 10-day DL retroactive to July 22, is eligible to return Mike Schmidt Jersey , but when he will remains unclear. “Every day, he’s progressing. There’s no real timeline right now,” manager Davey Martinez said. “Hopefully, he’s feeling good enough in the next week or so he can get off the mound, throw a bullpen. We’ll see. He’s definitely progressing in that direction.”UP NEXTReds: RHP Luis Castillo (6-8, 4.9 allowed six earned runs over five innings in Cincinnati’s 13-7 home loss to Washington on March 31.Nationals: RHP Tanner Roark (5-12, 4.37) is 2-0 in last two starts with 18 strikeouts and one earned run over 15 innings.
