Moon stikes out. Then a Yofu wild pitch to someone called Bond, I think. 2 out, man on 2nd.

Sorry about this. Gutierrez double and Ibanez single. 2 more runs. Moon up.

and to think we HAD a 6-1 Lead

Tetsu sounds like he has a deceptive change. He is all over the place, though. Bond walks on a wild pitch. 1st and 3rd and a new pitcher coming in.

Matt Smith up. Maybe this will be promising.

Yes Yofu has control problems I seen him at Birmingham the last 1 1/2 seasons. He has A plus Change and good splitter but as with most split ball pitchers he struggles with comand. But when he is on he is unhitable like Nomo. Yofu threw a no-hitter last year for Charlotte.

Smith throws one by the catcher, it bounces off the backstop back to Molina and Smith tags the runner coming in from 3rd, with th essist to Molina. 8th inning coming up. 15-8.

Matt Smith up.  Maybe this will be promising.

 

 

Matt set the Barons and Southern League Record for apperences last season at 70. Just think the barons played 138 games last season and Matt was in 70

Ozuna up. Chris Budlosky pitching. Even the Mariner announcers don't know him. Ozuna lines out to right. Owens up.

Jerry Owens out on a routine bouncer to 2nd. Burke up. 2 away, top of the 8th.

Burke hit by a full count pitch. Wilson Valdez grounds out. Bottom of the 8th. 15-8.

Jeez, Our pitching has been givin it up lately...maybe we should move Contreras to the 5th spot and move Garland up..sheesh

Had to disappear for a minute. I think Smith hit the first batter. Now he is facing Ichiro. They are saying Smith has an odd throwing motion. Very wide open and he suddenly explodes on the hitter from the stretch. Ichiro flies out to left. I am assuming, perhaps incorrectly that there is a runner on 1st, 1 out.

Ground ball to short, should have been a double play, but Valdez dropped the Martinez feed. Still the ump gave the Sox an out at 2nd.

B. Gill sends a 2 hopper to Valdez at 2nd and he runs to the bag at second to force Dobbs (or is it Hobbs). End of the 8th.

Andy Gonzalez up. To open the 9th. Mariner pitcher, Jiminez, has 'wowed' the Mariners with his work this spring. He throws lots of strikes, ala McCarthy. Gonzalez grounds out.

Gustavo Molina flys out to Ichiro and Darren Blakely is our last bullet.

Blakely homers somewhere and it is 15-9. Borchard up.

Borchard ends game on a 2 hopper to short. 15-9 final. It's been fun (I think). Supper calls.

Thx again for doing the play by play.

 

4 straight losses, they are not looking good doing it either.

 

One week to go in spring training, time to give the starters more playing time and they need to figure out what Contreras and Politte's problems are.

Outstanding Play-by Play wish the result had been better but hopefully we get it together in tomorrow's game

Who started for the Sox today?

Again my pleasure JimH. Politte worries me because he is such a veteran, that I don't expect him, at this stage, to 'figure it out' or 'grow' and start offering pitches at different speeds that would enhance deception. Even at his best it seems that the oppostion can fight him off until they get something they can handle. At the opposite end, for me, is Cotts, who may still develop into a deceptive pitcher. And my patience has not worn so thin for Contreras, given his 'stuff' and his life change of late.

 

And thank's for the plug BHAMBARONS. You're very kind. I share your optimism for the near future and the upcoming season. Despite the last few games, there is lot's to be excited about.
