Quinlin vs Wuertz

 

Gorneaux stole 2B (Koyie Hill Catching)

 

pitch 1 foul

pitch 2 ground out 5-3

 

runner to 3B, 2 down

[Rob]

Was it just bad luck on Wood's part, or was this the kind of outing that puts him on the DL to start the year?

the former

 

Good to hear it.

 

Nice play by DeRosa.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Geez. DeRosa again.

[98navigator]

Curtis Pride vs Wuertz

 

pitch 1 check swing and a miss

pitch 2 called strike

pitch 3 ball outside

pitch 4 swing and a miss

 

mid 8, 3-1 Angels

[Rob]

Has DeRosa seen any time at short this spring? I've been nothing but impressed with his defense at 2nd, and from what it sounds like he's been real good at third.

3B is his best position. Don't remember him at SS this ST.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Well. Forget ARam winning the GG. He's not even the best defensive 3B on the team.

He can play it though. His range might be a little suspect in fulltime SS duty, IMO.

Bottom 8

 

 

Izturis vs Speier

 

pitch 1 called strike

pitch 2 ball inside

pitch 3 called strike

pitch 4 ball; 2-2 count

pitch 5 base hit to CF

[98navigator]

I wish Murphy had caught that one and missed Barrett's ball. :cry:

[RichHillIsABeast]

Hey, whatever works, Izzy. 8-)

[98navigator]

Pie vs Speier

 

pitch 1 singles to LCF

 

2 on

[CubinNY]

Woody didn't look too bad, he just got the ball up and Socia got a little lucky with the hit and runs.

 

I thought Lilly got pretty lucky today, too many pitches and too many fly balls. At least he didn't walk too many.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Pie!

[98navigator]

Cedeno vs Speier

 

pitch 1 sac bunt

 

1 down

[KingCubsFan]

Another good bunt. Is it just me or have the Cubs been much better this spring at laying down bunts and running the bases? Just further proof that Dusty is/was incompetent

[Rob]

I don't know how I feel about bunting when behind. It's certainly not the smart percentage play.

[98navigator]

Izturis @ 3B, Pie @ 2B

 

Pagan (LH) vs Speier

 

pitch 1 called strike

pitch 2 ball

pitch 3 swing and a miss; change up

pitch 4 foul

pitch 5 ball low; 2-2 count

pitch 6 ball inside

pitch 7 WALK

 

Bases loaded

 

come on Cliffy

[CubinNY]

I don't know how I feel about bunting when behind. It's certainly not the smart percentage play.

I know how I feel about it and it is not good. Especially late in the game and down by more than one. And a guy like Pie on.

 

But it is only ST, so I don't really care.

NO DP!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Bases clogged for Cliff Floyd!

[sethuel1]

I'm impressed with Angel's walk rate this spring.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good job, Pagan. =D>

I know I don't like it, but the only reason I was torn was that Lou might have just been trying to see how Cedeno handles it. I guess that's the stuff spring training is for.

 

I think Floyd might have gotten away with that one.
