March 18, 200323 yr Author Bottom 7, Sox trailing it 6-4 - Graffanino (1st AB) leads off by striking out - Miles (1-3; single, run, RBI) lines one to LF for a basehit - Olivo (1st AB) chops one to SS, throw to 2nd for one, on to first...SAFE...Olivo at 1st with 2 out - Daubach (1st AB) hits shot down the RF line. Olivo coming home...SAFE...RBI double for Daubach!!! Clutch for the 2nd day in a row for BD. 6-5 Royals, tying run at 2nd - Rios (1st AB) hits chopper up the middle, it's fielded, Rios retired 2 hits, 1 run, 1 left End 7, Sox cut the defecit to just 1. Royals lead it 6-5
March 18, 200323 yr If that new curve he's been trying was working good earlier in this game, can you imagine what it will look like outside of Tucson?
March 18, 200323 yr Author Top 8 Jon Rauch in for his 3rd inning of work. So far he's given up just 1 hit and he's walked a batter - Johnson grounds to deep short. Graffy one-hops Daubach, he digs it...OUT. Nice play all around. 1 down - Murphy pops out to Miles I just thought of the Rockies 3B that got a ridiculous contract after having a good season. It was Vinny Castilla when he hit like 40 HR with 110 RBI in the final year of his contract with the Rockies, then the Devil Rays (I think it was them) gave him a huge contract. I couldn't remember that in a thread the other day. - Some guy hits a blooper for a 2-out hit - Relaford walks - Patterson grounds it past Daubach. 2 runs score on a triple. f***. 8-5 Royals. All the damage done with 2 outs Adkins, Almonte, Hummell, Munoz were all sent to AAA today. Nunez, Sanders, Valenzuela were reassigned to the minors - Next guy flies out to end the inning 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, 1 left Through 7 1/2, Royals lead it 8-5
March 18, 200323 yr Clujer....just curious....who are the commentators today? The usual Sox guys on ESPN -- Ed Farmer and John Rooney Well....either they've been using soxfan420's bong or Borchard is really fast. I guess that's what happens though when you are a star QB at Stanford....you gotta be fast.
March 18, 200323 yr Good work Clujer, will you be doing regular season games too? HAHA Does anybody knows Frank's stats this ST? Very interested.
March 18, 200323 yr Author Bottom 8 - Konerko (1-3; single, groundout, k) rolls one down to 3b for the first out - Borchard (0-2; ROE, GIDP, walk) goes down on strikes - Burke (1st AB) fists one to 3rd for the 3rd out 1-2-3 go the Sox We're down 8-5 going to the 9th
March 18, 200323 yr Author Good work Clujer, will you be doing regular season games too? HAHA Does anybody knows Frank's stats this ST? Very interested. I might do regular season games. Don't know how often, but I'll do it as much as I can. I work nights, and since the Sox normally play at around 5 PM PST during the season, I can probably do most games. Frank came into today at just under .300 with 3 HR and like 8 RBI. Since he's 2-3 today, he's up over .300 (probably around .310), and he's still got 3 HR, but 9 RBI now. Not too shabby, since Frank is usually a slow starter.

March 18, 200323 yr Author Top 9 Rauch still in for his 4th inning of work - Lead-off guy flies out to Rowand. 1 down - Next guy flies out to Rowand. 2 away - Curve ball killed over the bullpen in RF. 9-5 Royals - Walk - Walk - Grounder to Miles to finally retire the side 1 run, 1 hit, 2 walks, 2 left We're in trouble, down by 4 with 3 outs left

March 18, 200323 yr Author Bottom 9 - Rowand (1-3; double) grounds out. 1 out - Graffanino (0-1; k) stares at a curve for strike 3. 2 away Sox down to their final bullet - Miles (2-4; 2 singles, run, RBI) bounces out to 1st to end the game Sox lose 9-5 Pitching wasn't very good today. Too many hits given up by Garland, and too many walks by Rauch. Our offense was OK, but nothing spectacular. Stats forth-coming
March 18, 200323 yr Author Hitting stats Miles (2-5; 2 singles, run, RBI) Valentin (1-3; single, run) Thomas (2-3; 2 singles, RBI) Magglio (1-3; double, run) Konerko (1-4; single) Borchard (0-3; bb) Crede (1-3; single, RBI) Rowand (1-4; double) Alomar (0-2) Graffanino (0-2) Olivo (0-1; run) Daubach (1-1; double, RBI) Rios (0-1) Burke (0-1) Pitching stats Garland 5 IP, 9 hits, 6 runs (5 earned), 6 strikeouts, 0 walks Rauch 4 IP, 4 hits, 3 ER, 0 strikeouts, 4 walks Like I said, pitching wasn't very good overall. Garland looked good at times, but got away from pitching inside and got rocked from the 3rd inning on. Rauch did well early in innings, but struggled to get the 3rd out in seemingly every inning. Sox are now 12-8-1 so far this Spring. Still not too bad. Better luck tomorrow.
March 18, 200323 yr I'm sure Garland was working on some new pitches this game, and he will have an AMAZING season..i wouldnt be surprised if he turned out 19-11, 3.20 ERA. I just love watching this kid pitch.
March 18, 200323 yr aaron miles still making it tough on jerry... I believe Miles had an error or 2 today. With such a longshot of making the team Miles has to do everything right and especially play solid D.
March 18, 200323 yr Author aaron miles still making it tough on jerry... I believe Miles had an error or 2 today. With such a longshot of making the team Miles has to do everything right and especially play solid D. He made 1 error, yes. It did lead to an unearned run.

But also 2 hits Heres a not so pretty pic of Miles
March 19, 200323 yr aaron miles still making it tough on jerry... I believe Miles had an error or 2 today. With such a longshot of making the team Miles has to do everything right and especially play solid D. He's played solid D all spring....and he's fighting for the 5th bench spot. He's basically battling against, IMO, just 2 guys, being Burke and Paul....and Paul has basically killed himself.
March 19, 200323 yr In the top of the third, Miles was backing up the play where Alomar slipped and threw the ball past Thomas. How many times do you hear of a second baseman actually being where he is supposed to be on that play. I like this kid.

My thoughts exactly... when i read that i was thinking... damn had K-ray been here that would have been magglios ball...

How many times do you hear of a second baseman actually being where he is supposed to be on that play. I like this kid. I didn't hear the game but if Miles did that as you say, then gotta love him - you are right about how seldom that play is backed up and that means Miles knows how the game is played, and acts accordingly. That makes me a lot more pro Miles.
