Gload hits a warning track fly out to LF. 1 down.

He just gave up a deep fly out to Anderson in CF on the first pitch.

 

Farmer and Singleton are talking about how comfortable Anderson looks in CF. They say that KW expects Anderson to be better defensively than Rowand in time.

KW expects anderson to be better then rowand defensivly... wow.... thats pretty tall orders... i hope he's right, that would kick major ass.

Almanza with a deep fly out to CF, a strikeout, and a looper to Iguchi.

 

1-2-3, inning over. Still a 1-1 tie.

Not a bad inning for Mr. Almanza.

Anderson bunts to the pitcher on the first pitch. 1 out.

Rowand was thought of as a corner outfielder when he was coming up with the Sox. They didn't feel that he had the chops to cut it in CF.

 

Jeremy Reed's ceiling was supposed to be Mark Kotsay in CF, which is pretty good, but he's not a rangy guy. He's a guy, like Rowand, who gets good reads on balls, but has a world class arm. The Sox liked Anderson's D better than that of Reed.

 

Anderson is better than Rowand, defensively, at the same stage of development. Whether he continues to grow like Rowand did remains to be seen, but he has the tools to be a better defeder.

Uribe with a single.

 

Robert Valido pinch running for Uribe.

Ugly day for Dye -- 3 K's.

Dye with his 3rd k in as many at bats. On to the bottom of the 6th.

Luis Gonzalez with a leadoff double to CF.

 

Pitching change. Sean Tracey in. Jerry Owens in CF, Ryan Sweeney in RF, Casey Rogowski at 1B, and Robert Valido at SS.

 

Sean Tracey walks the first batter he faces.

Edited March 5, 200620 yr by SSH2005

Tracey with a walk. Here we go again. Is this around the time we give up about 7 or 8 runs?

Yes.

 

2-run single for DaVanon. 3-1 Diamondbacks.

Edited March 5, 200620 yr by SSH2005

3-1 Diamondbacks.

Farmer and Singleton were just talking earlier about how Ozzie is sick of losing every game and wants to win one. Whoops!

I still want to know what happened to Rowand's arm last season. That was the main reason why I didn't feel he should have won a Gold Glove.
