Looks like Freddy pitched well despite giving up a couple runs in the third. Cotts pitched a scoreless inning. Fields and Sweeney had good games. That's about it for this game.

Farmer and Singleton are talking about whether or not Bajenaru's horrible outing will hurt his chances at a roster spot. They are just hoping it doesn't hurt his confidence.

Holy s*** we are getting murdered out there haha. THIS TEAM SUCKS!

 

Let's forget about repeat!

I don't believe one performance, no matter how bad, can hurt your chances overall. But he's definitely off to a bad start. He needs to have about 2 or 3 good performances in a row to get people to forget about this one.

Agreed, but he had better pitch a lot better next time for his own sake. Farmer and Singleton described all 4 hits he gave up as "rockets." The balk with a runner at 3rd base doesn't help either.

So the Score won't be doing tomorrow's game, correct?

Correct, no radio tomorrow. Just box scores and recaps.

I don't care if it's Spring Training or not. Baj hasn't shown the ability to get MLB hitters out. I hope he improves the rest of Spring Training. I don't want him making the MLB roster unless he proves he can get these hitters out.

Has Jenks pitched yet? I know he had the shoulder soreness, and I was wondering if there was any news regarding that?

The Score update guy just said that he pitched one inning today. I think they said he walked one but gave up no runs. Jenks said he felt good in a recording.

Bases loaded for Casey Rogowski with 2 outs and he K's.

 

Game ova.  9-2 Diamondbacks.

 

In the other split squad game against the Rockies, Tim Redding gave up a 5-spot in the 5th inning.  Nice.  Sox lose that game 8-1.

 

How did Vazquez do?

Tim Redding fared even worse. I think he gave up 5 ER in the 5th inning of the Rockies game. He served up a 3-run jack to someone.

I've probably seen Redding pitch as much as anyone else on this board, and I'm going to be very disappointed if he makes this team. He's a terrible pitcher, as his stuff and location is mediocre. Jim Parque has a better chance of getting guys out now than Redding does.

I really think Ozzie is going with a 12-man pitching staff and that a second lefty and an extra righty are going to make the team. So far, Arnie Munoz, Javier Lopez, and Rusty Tucker looked good among the lefties. The realistic righty options are pretty much just Redding, Bajenaru, and Sean Tracey so hopefully they will pitch better. Otherwise, maybe KW will swing a trade.

Well, I hope Tracey does well this ST.

Redding wasn't the one who got rocked. IT was Almanza. He could only get one out.

 

Redding only gave up the bomb.

Certainly not the start he needed in ST. But at least his main competition hardly put their names forward today either.

Yeah, I just noticed that in the box score. Almanza put em on, Redding served up the jack. Almanza got the loss.

Rotoworld's take...

Jeff Bajenaru was tagged for four runs by the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning today.

With Luis Vizcaino and Damaso Marte gone, the opportunity is there for Bajenaru to claim a bullpen spot this spring. However, he probably won't be able to afford another outing like this. Bajenaru, who turns 28 this month, had a 1.41 ERA in 61 relief appearances for Triple-A Charlotte last season.

What an absolutely pitiful performance from our bullpen hopefuls. I believed before ST began we were going to witness a battle of mediocrity for the last remaining bullpen spot, and judging from today, it looks to be true. And yes, I realize you can't draw conclusions off a small sample size, etc. etc. etc. But realize these pitchers weren't even facing major league talent. It was major league talent mixed among minor leaguers and ST invitees.

 

Atleast we can scratch Almanza, Bajenaru, Tracy, Malone from the lone spot.

It's too early for that. I do think that Malone and Reynoso have no chance at the second lefty spot though. They don't seem to have any control at all.
