No, hit into a DP and struck out.

he does this every ST
hits a couple of dingers, whoops up the fans, then doesnt replicate during the season.
29 and still not ready for everyday play. :(
so lets check his ST stat line so far
3 AB 4 RBIs (?) 1 K and a .333 AVG SLG 1.333 OBP: .333 OPS =1.666
not too shabby :-)

Precisely.
Also, when the Cubs won the NL East in 1984 and 1989, they had terrible springs both years, including a 13-game losing streak in 1984.
Last year’s World Champions were 12-18 in spring training.

Really?
I didn’t know the feed was good enough on MLB.tv to get HD.

The HD feed last year looked awfully nice
But it was more delayed than the Lo-def feed. Taking the comment system here as “live-action”, the HD feed was about 20 seconds behind vs. ~8 for the Lo-def feed

Yeah
its always about 1 pitch behind. but, its better than not knowing whats going on.

I don't know
but I must say I missed game threads on this site. I haven’t laughed this much in a long time.

Arizona's in rough shape

she didn't say
she’s on forced 12 day furlough. Rough.

at least she still has a job
for now.

He hasn't really done anything yet...at least not enough for me to "love" him.
Win at least 10 games and keep the ERA under 4.2 the WHIP under 1.3 and we’ll revisit this conversation next year.

CHONE, Marcel and Bill James projections have him as a pretty average pitcher
this year. I for one really like him, and hope his production last year wasn’t a fluke.
Drunk guys yelling "happy birthday" to Ron....
I love spring training games…

Makes me think of Portillo’s. I wish I still lived in the Chicago area.

Their ribs and dogs are tasty....
but when I’m in town I usually go for the Italian Beef. It amazes me that no one in Ohio (or really outside of the Chicagoland area) has any idea what an Italian Beef is.

You'll be able to find it on mlb.com.
There’s a live box score there now. Someone posted it on the other thread.
Happy ST Opening Day, everyone!

Sweet, thanks
I saw the front page of MLB.com and it didn’t have a box icon, so I thought they weren’t giving one out until the game was over
almost a double play....
2 down, Ivan DeJesus, Jr on first
