 He was kind of handcuffed by that pitch. Throws a new ball to the mound, and the old one out. Contreras is behind the plate, catching Miles Michaelis, 35-year-old right-hander from Jupiter, Florida. The pitch goes high for a ball, 1-2. Did we see Derek Thomas in spring training at all? I don't recall. I don't recall seeing him either. Maybe he was either on the other side or maybe working Arizona.
