Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 05:17 PM) Ew. You want them to rub their junk on the ball? 1) As long as I do not have to watch 2) Some of our craptacular pitchers make it through an inning once in a while without allowing a conga line around the bases 3) Walls around the playing field prevent the balls for being soveigners for children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 03:18 PM) How did Gavin do? The line for him says 3 IP, 2 runs, 3 hits, 1 walk, 1 k. Gave up a double to Emilio Bonifacio in both the 1st and the 3rd innings, both of which were described as "Speed" doubles meaning he got the 2nd base on the OF. One run scored on a sac fly by Drew, another run scored on a double by Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 05:18 PM) How did Gavin do? The Arizona radio announcers made very positive comments about his pitches - location, movement, etc. He only walked one guy in three innings. And he wasn't falling behind batters. So, not too bad. Not well enough to get people over being nervous about him, but that will take a stellar year to overcome. I was impressed at how he got out of 2 on (BB, HBP) - no out jam in the second without damage. That was the type of situation where he would have pressed and gone belly up in the past.

Spring games tend to be like AAA games though. A lot of at bats by guys who won't be on the 25 man til August or Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tough time believing that Bonifacio, Burke, Salazar, Hammock and Ojeda are guys who will start or be on the 25 for the DBacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Balta its the opposite. Early on with the split squads and the large contingent you see a lot of scrubs after the first time through the order. Later on when they thin out the rosters a bit is when you see the starters going deeper into the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We at least had guys like Drew, Snyder, and Upton in the starting lineup today. And Floyd was the starting pitcher.

The thing about the DBacks is that most of their roster have only been in the majors for three seasons or less. So, they tend to make more mistakes than a veteran team would.

Gene Honda Civic Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) Spring games tend to be like AAA games though. A lot of at bats by guys who won't be on the 25 man til August or Sept. Yeah that was a terrible lineup Floyd was facing today. The two best players (Drew, Upton) had limited ML experience. Bonifacio is a decent MIF prospect, i suppose. He drew lots of praise in the DWL this year, but hasn't even hit AAA yet. Then all you had was a platoon player (Nixon) and a utility player (Ojeda). I guess the D'backs gave their guys the weekend off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
