Hey, Will Ferrell: Vance Worley wants his nickname back.

Ferrell, as you may have heard, earned a page on BaseballReference.com with his one-day barnstorming tour of the Cactus League. On it, his nickname is given as Manimal.

Pace of play? Forget that. How about pace of everything-around-the-play? The Pirates and Orioles today played a seven-inning “B” game — no broadcast commercial breaks, no in-stadium entertainment follies — in under two hours …

“B” game performances don’t show up in official stat lines, but Bleich and Leesman also have a pair of scoreless appearances each in Grapefruit League play. … 

Cool thing about Francisco Cervelli: Only throwback among Pirates batters; he doesn’t wear batting gloves. … 

In case you were wondering, yes, Worley downed his usual two donuts before going out and dunking the Orioles for four innings today: Raspberry and Boston Cream. ..
