Houston pitcher Lance McCullers felt strong following Saturday's simulated game. Astros manager A.J. Hinch wanted to wait until he learned how McCullers felt on Sunday before committing to a date for the righty's first spring start. Walking to the mound under sunny skies and a blustery 20 mph wind, McCullers joked in the direction of Jake Marisnick, Alex Bregman and Juan Centeno - the three batters he'd face in the first inning - that they shouldn't dig in.
