Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The other Chris Young on the mound for the Padres today. 1-2-3 go the Sox in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Nix just lost .89 points on his BA, lol....infield pop-up. It will take him some time to get his timing back. Predictable. 1-2-3 inning, AJ lazy pop to the outfield. Let's hope we never see AJ in the 3 hole anytime during the regular season. Chris Burke, who used to be a pretty popular leadoff target when he was w/ the Stros, looks to be hitting fairly well in ST for the Padres. I think Jody Gerut might look okay for us in CF the way things are going for the Sox at this point. Edited March 13, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 You know you're in trouble when the hitter you're most looking forward to is the pitcher....I could see if it was Rick Rhoden, Dontrelle Willis, Tom Glavine, Rick Ankiel, Brooks Kieschnick, Jason Dellaero, Carlos Zambrano, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Fields hits it off the wall for a sliding-in double. Anderson grounds weakly to short, Fields does advance. Lillibridge grounds out, Fields unable to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Well, at least our two big offensive threats in this particular line-up came through. Fields is fouling some balls off and making better contact. Anderson advances the runner to 3rd...productive out. Lillibridge doesn't get the runner in, comebacker to the mound, Fields still at 3B. Owens' reputed speed doesn't come through as he fails to pick up Lillbridge on a MEHHHHHHH grounder up the middle and is thrown out at first.

caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Owens leading Anderson in the race to the Mendoza Line, .194 to .185. Gavin Floyd gets a strikeout with his slider? Sure it wasn't his curve? They keep call him throwing his slider and not curve....interesting. You think they'd be more familiar with Gavin Floyd from his time w/ the Phillies...it's not like he wasn't one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball. Owens blasted by announcers for diving for a "marginal" flyball that allowed the typing run to score and letting and ball get past him all the way to the wall. UGH. Well, this is the only time some of us can get away with rooting AGAINST the White Sox and not feel TOO guilty. I'm marking that as an unearned run in my scorebook, lol....Gavin had a ton of those last year where the defense didn't pick him up like it should have.

But its not a pitch he throws often, unless his curve isn't working. Its the spring though, so, maybe he is playing with it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) BTW, that was Fields' 3rd double of the spring. Beckham has five, leading the team...I think he had at least one or two doubles against Australia in the exhibition game as well. Gavin Floyd, auditioning for the leadoff spot, shows Anderson and Owens a thing or two by grabbing a walk on the full count. Fouled off a pitch even.
