Balta1701 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Podsednik leads off the bottom of the 5th, works a decently long at bat, then grounds out to teh shortstop. The Ranger is in the booth. Erstad flies out to left. Thome takes a walk, and stays in the game. Thome to 2nd on a WP. When is the last time we actually hit a home run in an A game? Credepopsitup. Inningova. Edited March 21, 2007 by Balta1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Mar 21, 2007 -> 04:31 PM) it's a valid point. Mark Grant, the color guy for the Padres, says pitching in Tucson is like "pitching on the moon." Similar terrain and vegetation, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 QUOTE(Beltin @ Mar 21, 2007 -> 02:36 PM) Similar terrain and vegetation, too. You even get the impact craters. Big bad Bobby jenks on to Blow them away. Jenks gives Roberts the leadoff walk on 5 pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Roberts steals 2nd without a throw on a curveball. Winn hits a ball off Jenks's glove, Iguchi fields and retires winn. Roberts to 3rd, 1 out. Roberts scores on a passed ball. De La Rosa takes a quick walk. Cooper out to talk to Jenks. Coop not feeling well anyway.

Balta1701 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Jenks gets ahead of Durham 0-2, then hits a ball over a diving Erstad in CF. De La Rosa scores. 7-3 Giants.

Anyone know how Bobby threw in spring last year? He was in the low 90s, not impressive at all. He did pick it up a bit once the season began, but they blamed most of it on his being out of shape. No one really says anything about it, but Jenks post ASB ERA was a DFA's Shingoesque number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have tightness and not have an injury. Farmer is pointing to his mechanics. If he isnt driving towards the plate and flying open, he will leave the ball high, lose some velocity and get rocked. Its what Marte did a bunch of times.
