QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) Nope...the runner was picked off leaving early from first (on a steal attempt), Harrell noticed it, they had the runner caught between first and 2nd, then the runner from 3rd broke for home and they caught him in a rundown after the throw from Gordo. Ah. I misread the description.

Looks like Beckham threw a runner out at home on a 1st and 3rd steal situation. Nix 2-3, 2 BB. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he's in Arlington on Friday night.

Carlos Torres is the anti-Marquez. 6 innings, 1 run. ERA at 1.17.

Another 3-run homer for Phillips. 9-1 Charlotte, 5th inning.

3 run homer for Andy Phillips.

Here is his opening day interview. Nothing great. http://www.cbs42.com/content/wakeup/story/...CEpOR8g96w.cspx

Charlotte- 0-0, 2nd inning. Carlos Torres on the mound. His ERA is still under 1.00. Kannapolis- Up 2-0, 6th inning. Dexter Carter putting up 0's. 6 K's. Birmingham starts at 11:35CT. Lucas Harrell starts. Winston-Salem starts soon. Johnnie Lowe starts. Facing pitcher J. Mariotti.

Santeliz faced 4 batters. Struck out 4. Barons lose 2-0. They ran into some good pitching tonight.

Kannapolis won. Leesman 3-0, 1.78. Birmingham down 2-0 top 8. Santeliz making his 2009 debut. Replaced Poreda with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Struck out two batters to get out of it. Final line for Poreda- 6.1 inn, 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, 3 k's ERA at 2.01 Beckham 0-1, 2 BB

7:11 Anderson leading off. PK DH, Betemit at 1B.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) Eh, I miss the conference call. I get why they're doing it but I prefer the old school approach where you can knock out the first few rounds in no time at all and move on with your day. The made for TV bulls*** does nothing for me, you don't need 5+ minutes to pick a player when you can't trade picks. I agree 100%. Especially now that it's over 3 days...GMAFB. I'll care less this year than ever.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) I hope that Selig, players and fans can be there. Kind of like NFL or NBA. Or like last year, when it was on ESPN.

I'm sure Betemit will start in Game 2.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) Anyone know when the last time we swept a double header was? Last September vs Detroit. Vazquez last win with the Sox. Wise grand slam in Game 2. How quickly we forget.

Owens, LF Fields, 3B Quentin, DH Dye, RF Konerko, 1B Anderson, CF Ramirez, SS Miller, C Lillibridge, 2B

Winston-Salem lost 6-4 Danks 0-3, SF, BB Poreda on the mound tonight.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) Yeah this is interesting. cant remember the last time they threw the games back to back with half-hour break. Last September against Detroit.

Nunez with a 1-2-3 inning to finish it. Shelby made a nice running catch in the 9th. Barons win 4-2, and move into first place with a 12-5 record.

Shelby on third, one out....Beckham pops out to the 1B on the first pitch. Ouch.

Jhonny Nunez gave up a couple 2-out hits, but got out of it. 4-2 Barons going to the 9th.

McCulloch...sounds like he's a real competitor on the mound, much like Broadway. Are they the same? ...and now McCulloch took one off the hand. They're checking him out. He's ok. He's done... 7 innings, 7 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, 2 k's

RBI double for Beckham. 4-2 Barons. Flowers just missed a tape measure shot. Went foul....being disputed. Went too high and far to determine if it was fair. Man, is that guy strong.

I think once Beckham breaks through, he's never going to look back. It might be good for him in the long run if he slumps a little bit now. Viciedo is 3-3. .238 never looked so good. Winston-Salem won 9-2. Shirek (3-0, 3.18 ERA) Homers for Sanchez and Gallagher.

Tonight's tickets are no good for tomorrow. You have to exchange them for a different seat for a different game. If you have tickets for tomorrow, you have two games for the price of one.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 06:18 PM) Jordanks up to .325 Make that .333.
