Arrieta's debut - All hail the beard!

New Phillies ace Jake Arrieta makes his debut today, albeit in a spring training game. But I haven't looked forward to a pitcher's start this much since Cole Hamels' first big league appearance against the Reds in 2006.

FIRST INNING UPDATE: 

Three-pitch strikeout to start things off. Another K on a filthy 3-2 breaking ball. And Miguel Cabrera homers to RF. Why'd we sign this guy? What a waste of money. #majorsarcasm

Nick Castellanos flies out to CF to end the inning. Not too bad.

He's done after 2 innings, giving up 3 hits, 2 runs, and 2 Ks on 31 pitches. Some Twitter reports have him reaching 95 with his fastball. Nice.
