4/4 & 4/5 Minor League Exhibition Games

[Chris]

Moore retired, 0-0 to the second

[Jon]

Holliman gives up a questionable 2-run HR, but a HR nonetheless.

[UBlink]

The Daytona broadcast is really coming in poorly, and I can't get the DJaxx because I can't put any plugins on the work computer. If anyone has a workaround for that let me know.

 

I think you have to download their server.

 

I guess I'll have to wait til I get home to hear Ron's dulcet tones.

[Chris]

Good to hear that Golden Circle Exterminators renewed their contract. I know I don't want bugs running rampant in my home.

[Chris]

Mateo on a 60 PC

[Chris]

"No truth that Cerrano can't hit the curveball"

 

:lol:

[Chris]

Jaxx retired in order. To the third...

[UBlink]

Harvey goes full, fouls off 4, then bloops a single.

[Jon]

Nic Jackson is DHing for Daytona and he's up with Fuld on third (walk, I think) and Harvey on first (bloop single).

 

He hits a sac fly to left, Daytona down 2-1.

[UBlink]

Nic Jackson sighting!!!!!!!!!! hitting cleanup, flies out to left, SF scores Fuld.

[Chris]

Rojas with the first hit of the game (2B)

[Chris]

Walker with a single, Jaxx at the corners

[Jon]

Woo, EPatt! 2-run triple down the right field line.

[Chris]

Patterson clears the bases with a 2 run triple!

[rawaction]

Eric can hit AA pitching. Getting him time there last year was very wise.

 

Is it safe to assume Nic Jackson is basically re-habbing in Daytona, after not playing much baseball in 2 years? I hope he stays healthy and returns to Iowa in the near future.

[Jon]

One of the Daytona announcers mentioned Craig's transition to catcher, but didn't say what exactly the plan was.

 

I guess Salas is in there and not Spears.

[UBlink]

The local paper had an article that says the plan is to play first while working on learning catcher.

[Jon]

Montanez doubles and Greenberg follows with an RBI double.

[Jon]

EPatt with a 3-run HR off the top of the wall! 8-0 Jaxx.

 

Grant Johnson in to pitch for Daytona.

[Jon]

Long sac fly for Richard Lewis (PHing), 10-0 Jaxx. Dope scored on a passed ball, I believe.

 

Micah scores on a WP, 11-0.

 

Greenberg follows with a long 2-out triple off the base of the wall in right-center. Richie then hits a PH RBI double. 12-0. Cates PHs and grounds out to end the inning. 9 runs scored, though.

[Jon]

Mateo loses the shutout on an RBI single in the 5th. 12-1, bottom 5.

 

Daytona still trails 2-1.

[Jon]

RBI double Moore, 13-1.

[Jon]

The DJaxx rotation: Mathes, Marmol, Wells, Cash, Mateo.

 

Piggy will be used out of the 'pen.

 

For Daytona, Wick strikes out to end the 5th and then leads off the 6th with a walk (that makes up for it). D-Cubs need 1 to tie, 2 to win.

 

Culpepper with a bloop single, 2 on. Craig loads 'em up on an infield single. Cubs tie it up on a WP.

 

Culpepper thrown out at the plate on a ball deflected off the glove of the pitcher and to the second baseman.

 

And the Cubs can't win it. Game ends in a 2-2 tie.

[Jon]

Holdzkom pitches a scoreless 7th inning (Mateo went 5 to get to 60 pitches instead of his scheduled 4) and the Jaxx win!

[Chris]
