ScottyDo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Top 6: Have to go after this half-inning. Pinch hitting should be starting soon anyway. Wheeler in to pitch. Beckham strikes out on a high fastball. De Aza bounces out to 2b. Strike zone is weird today, especially on De Aza, but I guess it's spring training for everyone, right? De Aza looks uncomfortable for reasons other than umpiring, though, so no excuses. AJ pulls a homer to right, which bounces just above the yellow line on the fence. Woohoo! Rios immediately spanks one into the left field corner for a double. He advances to 3b on a ball in the dirt that gets away from Santana. No wait, not Santana. Whoever replaced him defensively. Carlin? Anyway, next pitch is in the dirt, too, and Rios comes home safely. Tie game! Fukudome really battles back from a quick two-strike count to draw the walk, with those pass balls in between. He's on a mission to dominate his former team! Or, it's a coincidence. The second one. Indians get their vengeance as Fukudome is caught stealing on a pitch out. Better now than April, right? Amiright? Edited March 15, 2012 by ScottyDo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Philips Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) I wonder what the odds are that Fukudome is starting over Viciedo by May 1st? My cub friend says he always starts out hot in april prelude to whats coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably hit .150 in spring, and go 3-4 on opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 My memory might be hazy, but doesn't Danks suck vs his former team. Especially IN Texas? I seem to remember him getting shelled in Arlington a few seasons ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard Darvish will be used for Game 3, so ESPN can gush over him on Sunday Night Baseball. And living outside of local viewing range (yet still blacked out, ugh), I would like to see it.

caulfield12 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Goodbye Marinez and Veal after today. Leyson Septimo's not far behind them. Viciedo 4/23, Rios 4/22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hopefully this makes the cuts to the roster easier. Great chance that every pitcher for the White Sox today will be starting the season in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one season the Raiders (my favorite football team) went 4-0 in the preseason, Art Shell's first season back as head coach. It got everyone excited, we were going to be the raiders of old, kicking ass and taking names, they went on to go 2-14 that year and played like a high school team. Since then I just can't give a damn about anything that happens before the season starts in any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 This is Ventura's first close look at his players. Maybe that is why there are so many pitchers still in camp. Ventura taking a close look and seeing what he has to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 03:36 PM) I saw that he hit a homer yesterday. Hopefully he is. He was a late scratch with a sore neck.
