Freeman grounds out to Mabry at 1st. Easy out. 2 down.

Keep up the good work there.

 

What's the score as of now if I may ask?

[Laura]

Huh, so the Rockies decided not to use the DH.

 

Score is 1-0 Rox in the bottom of the 2nd

 

Double for Murton!

All Murton does is hit, hit, hit! I love it.

Cedeno strikes out swinging on a breaking ball well off the plate (count was 1-2). inning over.

 

Cedeno has struggled a bit this spring. Still waiting to hit his spring stride.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

groundout to SS. 2 down.

[RyCubsFan]

Murton now 9 for 18! .500 BA baby!

 

Oh, two doubles, one home run, two walks, and a stolen base! Only one K.

 

I think he's going to succeed all expectations this year (like he did last year).

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Cedeno strikes out swinging on a breaking ball well off the plate (count was 1-2). inning over.

 

Cedeno has struggled a bit this spring. Still waiting to hit his spring stride.

 

Len and BB were talking about how he only needs to consentrate on D, which Dusty and Hairston seem to have been telling him as well. It sounds (prays) like if he struggles offensively he can keep his spot with good D.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

flyout to Murton to end the inning. good job Rusch.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Soto flies out to CF (i think on the first pitch).

[jam1975]

Pierre with a triple!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Pierre takes first 2 pitches for strikes, then triples along the RF line. Great wheels! 8)

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Solid relay and it still wasn't even close, as BB put it.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

man on third, 1 down. get him in!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Hairston gets ahead 3-1 and then singles up the middle. Pierre scores.

 

1-1

 

Nice job.
