Baseball briefs
- What’s a game without a nosh? Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers because the latest athlete to open a restaurant.
- Ike Davis continues to impress at Mets spring training camp. He’s among the team leaders in games, hits, doubles, RBI and averages so far. More on Davis here and here.
- Meanwhile, Washington Nationals pitcher Jason Marquis had a rude welcome in his first ST game yesterday. Teammate Josh Whitesell, seeking a return to the Majors, has appeared in two games, with two hits and a walk in three at-bats.
Thanks again to KK reader Ari for his efforts.



Very encouraging news on Davis. Unfortunately, I have a sneaking suspicion the Mets will send him down regardless of what he does this spring, but I hope I’m wrong.
