Pods with the swinging strike. At least they made it mildly interesting. 4-2 final.

The Sox do seem to concentrate in the 9th and get a run or two so maybe this season will be real interesting in close games when the Sox have that last at bat and need that run.

yeah Garland pitched really well... Carlos Lee's HR was more of a good hit by him than a bad pitch by Garland and Podsenick almost stole it too.

 

 

That's good to hear. Atleast he finished up strong.

For anyone interested, you can watch Jeremy Reed on espn2.  Mariners vs. Cubs.

I just saw Wilson Valdez's first at bat with the Mariners. He lined out to RF. They mentioned how Valdez has played for 3 different teams this spring -- Sox, Mets, and Mariners. He just got off a plane and he doesn't even have a logo on his helmet.

 

Ozuna is hitting .527 (29 for 55).

I was going to say that he has hit a ton this spring, but that's like 2000.00 so 650 average sounds more like it.

 

I think it comes out to .527. And Farmio said he has a .535 OBP, so it follows he is up there hacking.

Solid day by Garland.. too bad we couldnt get him some runs..

 

Oh well, lets just get this season started

Yes, Garland actually pitched well but I could see that 3-run homer by Lee coming from a mile away.

I like that.

If he's going to be used in the late innings, chances are he'll hit in run-scoring situations, or at least a situation where he'll be asked to move a runner over.

The fact that he's making a lot of contact, and hitting to the right side quite a bit, is going to be helpful.

I'm happy for him, he earned his roster spot 100%. Took his opportunity and ran with it.

Thats just because Carlos Lee is a badass, he prolly woulda hit that HR no matter who was on the mound..

What if I were on the mound?

 

I bet I woulda struck him out, cuz I have awesome stuff

Or because he would have just started laughing his ass off looking at your goofy mug.

If you were on the mound youd prolly throw a 65 mph fastball down the middle that Lee put 500+ feet into the LF seats

That's what I'm thinking would happen.

 

Or maybe I'd throw it underhand and he'd miss. Actually, f*** that, that movie sucked ass.

I'm thinking 600 feet atleast, actually. He would hit it really far...

 

...if he wasn't laughing, cuz if he was, then I would strike him out.
