So, my yahoo account locked me out. Says my username is wrong, and i can't for the life of me think of why. God help me if the computer runs a bad draft

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 05:56 PM) how long before Mitchell starts being talked about this years beckham?? After he obliterates AA, and gets moved to 3b in Charlotte.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) Wow. Nice play by Nix. Thats really was a great play by him. At short, no less.

I felt pretty confident in writing off Cabrera when he went from the Oriole's future ace to the 12th man in the D-Backs bullpen within three years. He has done nothing to prove that he's anything but a thrower with no control. Optimism is fine, but it's not too early to write off Cabrera. It's been pretty clear that this was the direction he was going towards for a few years.

Nix gets punked by an ump on a curve that broke outside the zone.

I believe Melton just referred to Matt Wieters as "Widger." Yikes.

Fearing the power of Mark Kotsay, Olsen wisely walks him.

Mitchell is quick. Hit a hotshot to 1b, and made it a close play.

Mitchell reads a ball perfectly off the bat, and makes a play just off the wall.

We're not going to be getting anything out of D-Cab. That's a damn shame.

The entire bench is in the game. D-Cab pitching. first pitch? You guessed it ball.

Geez, great play by Alexei and Paulie couldn't dig it out.

Jared Mitchell in for Rios. Busy day for him.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! ...and our opening day DH Mark Kotsay flies out to right.

Rios just DESTROYED a pitch to deep center.

Nice sinker by Putz to induce a double play. Solid turn by Beckham, a little loose with his footwork, but if it works it works.

Putz is in. Eager to get a look at him.

I can't tell if that's a curve Santos is throwing, but it has some nice snap on it.

Santos k's a guy with a chaser. Decent movement away from the batter, and towards the lower end of the plate.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Jared Mitchell sounded like he had another solid day in the morning B game. Another 2 hit game, 2 SB. We're starting to see why the organization refused to shoot down the Mitchell to AA rumors that came out last month. It seems like he's a lot further on then anybody expected him to be.

Santos gives a meatball high in the zone.

Santos coming in to pitch.

Ah, the bunt. A failure, but grindy.

Kotsay GIDP.

Paulie crushes one! 1-0 Sox.
