Did you miss the Daily? I know I missed the Daily. But after a very long winter’s nap, Minor League Baseball is back, and with it the return of daily minor league coverage on Bleacher Nation.
If you would like to watch some minor league games this season, then check out MiLB.TV. This is the minor league equivalent of MLB.TV, only with fewer games, lower quality video, not great audio, and a much lower price. The good news is that both Iowa and Tennessee have all their home games (and nearly all their road games) on video through this service. Daytona and Kane County do not. If either of those two ever do have their games broadcast this way while on the road, I will try to call it out it in advance.
Last year the radio feeds for all the minor league games were streamed for free through the team websites, and all the team websites are conveniently linked below. If you want listen to Baez and Soler in the Florida State League and wistfully long for their promotion to Double A so you can watch them as well, then just head on over to the Daytona page around game time.
That’s enough reminders for now. Let’s get to some baseball.
Scores From Yesterday
There were no games yesterday. If there had been, this is the place you would find a result, a link to the box score, and a link to each of the team websites. Since I don’t have any scores for you this morning, let’s set up the pitching assignments for the day instead.
Iowa – The Iowa Cubs have not yet announced their Opening Day starter. (UPDATE: It’s Chris Rusin.) They start the season in Albequerque at 8:35 ET.
Tennessee – Dallas Beeler takes the mound for Tennessee. The Smokies also open up on the road. Their game against Pensacola starts at 8:00 ET.
Daytona – Undersung pitching prospect Ben Wells starts things off for Daytona. The Cubs will be at home at 7:05 ET.
Kane County – Attendees of Opening Day in Kane County will get to see Pierce Johnson. Game time is 7:30 ET.
