Montell Cozart was the first QB out there with the first team. That could mean something, but it also might not. Likens said the other day that he makes a conscious effort to ensure that both Cozart and Michael Cummings work equal reps with the first-team offensive line and the second-team offensive line so he can see how each guy reacts to the adversity and advantages that come with both. It might have just been how the rotation fell today so I wouldn't read too much into Cozart being out there first just yet.

WATCH: Ichiro wins video replay challenge after wild play at plate - CBSSports.com
Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud could not make a tag on the initial slide, and Ichiro's hand touched the plate — if not the first time, on the second lunge for sure, before d'Arnaud was able to stop him. Umpire Eric Cooper didn't see it that way as it happened, and the video evidence wasn't overwhelmingly favorable to Ichiro, but he got the call on appeal.
WATCH: No outfield fence can stop Evansville's Josh Jyawook - CBSSports.com
On Wednesday, Evansville prevailed over in-state rival Indiana by a tally of 2-1 in 14 innings. Given the tight nature of things, the catch you're about to see stands as a vitally important one. Given the acrobatics involved, the catch you're about to see stands as an absurd one.
