And now Jake Fox replaces Daryle Ward defensively at first base in the bottom of the 7th. Gameday is on crack.

 

ETA: And now Fox moves to C.

Cotts so far this spring: 6.0 IP, 5 R, 9 R, 16 H, 1 K/0 BB

 

:shock:

 

7.0 IP, 6 ER, 10 R, 17 H, 3 K/0 BB. That's a 2.42 WHIP.

 

That's disgusting!

 

What? A Whip of approx 2.5 isn't good?

 

Dude, this is 'mericuh. Bigger, More, larger is always better!!!

 

YEEEE-HAAAW!!!

Bottom 7TH B:0 S:0 O:1

And see...I just thought we were on the Modified Stapleford scoring system.

[98navigator]

AZ has scored in every inning except the 2nd & 3rd

Bottom 7TH B:0 S:0 O:1

Scott Hairston doubles (1) on a line drive to left fielder Jesus Valdez.

 

Huh, who is Jesus Valdez?

 

Minor league OF, he was at Peoria last season and will be at Daytona this coming season.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Dempster gave up 1 R on 2 hits. DBacks now up 5-3.

[CUBZ99]

Is Cotts guaranteed a spot on the team? There is no way he has earned one on merit.

God, let's hope not. He sure doesn't deserve one.

I see... Is this his first action this Spring?

Probably, he doesn't have any PAs before today.

[98navigator]

On a positive note, our mostly MiL lineup has held its own against Arizona's regulars.

[texascub]

Augie sighting!

[CUBZ99]

Didn't the Cubs draft Micah Owings in a later round a couple of years ago? Just checked out his line, looks like he was pretty impressive today.

They did but he decided to go back to school.

[98navigator]

Ronny triples to score Buck

[98navigator]

Yeah, the Cubs took him as a 19th rounder in 2004 (as a sophomore - he slipped because of his bonus demands) and he returned to college.
