Late start this morning as physicals were given. After a while all the players were on the stadium field and a lot of formal instruction given. They did everything from outfielders fielding the ball at the fence and the relays home to charging singles and throwing home, with the pitchers being a cutoff man. Balls to right, the left fielder backing up 3rd. Run downs were practiced, hot boxes, etc. finally they broke off and used 3 fields for bp and live bp. Vargas hit 2 out of the park off Perkins I was told. The pitchers throw live bp every two days now, about 40 pitches the first time out and then up to 60 the second. Only one more day of practice before the first game. I don't know why they start so late.
