clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Is it going to be Danny? I think it's been about 4 days since they said they were going to give him a few days off, so it could be him. But more than likely it'll be Mark or Bartolo. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Thank god. It sounds like these announcers know what they're doing. And Frank's playing. BTW, coming into today's game, D'Angelo is 6-20 this spring with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts. That's pretty decent. 10 times on base in 24 opportunities -- not too shabby.

clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 you are courting trouble from the Miles fan club - be careful! I fear not. A .417 OBP is perfect for this team. If he can do that in the regular season, 2003 will be a high-scoring affair. Let Miles pay his dues -- Jimenez has come back from a near-death accident, so IMO he deserves a chance at the major league level. If he fails, so be it. But if we don't give him a chance, how will we ever know what he's capable of? Also, after hearing that Miles had 40 walks in 500 AB's, there is NO WAY he should be our lead-off hitter. That is simply an unacceptable statistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 f*** these announcers. I don't care if they're Chicago announcers or not. They just said something extremely unacceptable. They were ragging on the fact that Frank is 2-14 this Spring. They go "He's gonna have to do better than 2 for 14 if he's gonna make this squad. He'll make it anyway, but he just won't play much." They, of course, didn't mention the fact that he's hardly playing. Just then, he cracked a HR to left. :fyou Frank doubters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm part of the Aaron Miles fan club, but there is no way Miles should start over Jimenez. Its Jimenez's job at the start of the season and it will be his unless he absolutely bombs. I do rate Miles as the backup plan if Jimenez fails cause he is a better option leading off then Willie Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Another fine outing by Mark. 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB Maybe he'll come out for the 5th -- I don't think he's thrown that many pitches. 1-0 Sox, Frank's 1st HR of the Spring accounting for the only run. We've basically got our starting team out there today... Lee, Harris, Mags, Crede, Valentin, D'Angelo, Frank, Olivo (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Thanks for the update. Mark, Jon and Bartolo have all been looking great thus far in spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 5 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1K for Mark. Nice. Still 1-0 (Frank's 1st HR). On a side note, tomorrow we'll have Bartolo on the mound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 David Sanders in... - Serves up a lead-off HR, 7-1 Sox - Basehit FYI, Crede is the only starter still in the game - Flyout, 1 out, 1 on - Wild pitch, runner to 2nd - Strikeout, 2 outs, runner on 2nd - Looper to left falls in, runner scores, 7-2 Sox, runner on 1st - Double, runners on 2nd and 3rd - Groundout, runners stranded End 7, 7-2 good guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Damn, I wish Sanders did better. I thought he looked pretty solid, but I don't see him beating out Wunsch. I don't think anyone will, but Munoz is damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 - Crede lead-off double to start the 8th (2nd hit of the day for him ) - Morales (one of our young catchers) lined out, Crede safely back to 2nd - Graffanino strikes out, 2 out, Crede still standing at 2nd - Konerko HBP (and he's upset), 1st and 2nd with 2 out - Miles groundout to 1st (0-2 on the day), 3 outs, 2 stranded They're talking about how Frank talked before the game about his approach to hitting and how he's going to focus on hitting the ball to center field. Through 7 1/2, 7-2 Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Interesting. I wasn't able to see Frank when I was there this weekend, but hopefully he's ripping the ball. I can't wait till the Sox get one of their games televised. Can anyone tell me when the Sox are broadcasting a spring training game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Bottom 8, Porzio in. - Walks the lead-off guy They're talking about how Porzio's on the bubble. They seem to think he is in trouble (and I agree, he is). - Triple to left (:angry), run scores, 7-3 Sox - 1 hopper to Rios in left, run scores, 7-4 Sox (WTF is going on with Porzio?) - Popout in the shallow OF, 1 out, runner on 1st Felix Diaz warming up in the pen along with Damaso - Strikeout, 2 outs - Basehit, runner goes to 3rd, runner advances to 2nd on throw (ugh) Porzio replaced with Diaz 2/3 IP, 3 hits, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 SO, responsible for runners on 2nd & 3rd -- another poor outing for Mike - Flyout, runners stranded End 8, 7-4 Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Diaz sure has been pitching sharply. Porzio blows....he'll never beat out someone like Munoz or even Sanders. I think he'll be cut as the Sox add Brian Daubach to the 40 man roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxplosion Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Sorry but Porzio sucks. Im glad hes the one who stunk it up and not someone whos really important to the team. He aint ever gonna play on the Southside. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 - Rios lines a basehit to CF (2nd hit of the day ) - Valenzuela chopper to 3rd, throw scooped at 1st, out, Rios to 2nd - Nunez grounds out, Rios to 3rd, 2 out - Sanders HBP, runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs Announcers are wondering if someone on the Rockies will be hit by a pitch in the 9th, hehehehe. - Crede ball off pitchers' glove, throw to 1st gets him Going to the bottom of the 9th, Sox up 7-4 Marte might be coming in (he was warming up with Diaz earlier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
