When there is a short turnaround, such as Wednesday's 1:10 p.m. ET game against the Brewers after a night game on Tuesday, teams often pass on taking batting practice. But with Milwaukee starting Zack Greinke, Dusty Baker had his players take their cuts.

"If you go out there half sleeping against him, you'll be in the fifth inning before you wake up," Baker said. "We want to get the blood flowing with a condensed batting practice and run around. That's a nasty man right there."
