Wow, talk about your anemic offensive line-ups...this is one of the most anemic possible that Ozzie must have drawn out of a a hat.

 

No Quentin, no Alexei, no Dye, Thome still out with the iffy back, no Viciedo, no Beckham. And pitchers batting.

 

 

At least we see a lot of the guys who are getting tryout chances.

The other Chris Young on the mound for the Padres today.

 

1-2-3 go the Sox in the first.

Nix just lost .89 points on his BA, lol....infield pop-up.

 

It will take him some time to get his timing back. Predictable. 1-2-3 inning, AJ lazy pop to the outfield. Let's hope we never see AJ in the 3 hole anytime during the regular season.

 

Chris Burke, who used to be a pretty popular leadoff target when he was w/ the Stros, looks to be hitting fairly well in ST for the Padres.

 

I think Jody Gerut might look okay for us in CF the way things are going for the Sox at this point.

Watching Floyd hit could be entertaining.

They should just take the out and not even have him go out there.

123 go the Padres against Gavy as well.

You know you're in trouble when the hitter you're most looking forward to is the pitcher....I could see if it was Rick Rhoden, Dontrelle Willis, Tom Glavine, Rick Ankiel, Brooks Kieschnick, Jason Dellaero, Carlos Zambrano, etc.

Konerko hits it in to the BUllpen on a 1-2 pitch. 1-0 Sox.

Fields hits it off the wall for a sliding-in double.

 

Anderson grounds weakly to short, Fields does advance.

 

Lillibridge grounds out, Fields unable to score.

Well, at least our two big offensive threats in this particular line-up came through. Fields is fouling some balls off and making better contact.

 

Anderson advances the runner to 3rd...productive out. Lillibridge doesn't get the runner in, comebacker to the mound, Fields still at 3B.

 

Owens' reputed speed doesn't come through as he fails to pick up Lillbridge on a MEHHHHHHH grounder up the middle and is thrown out at first.

Owens grounds to short, inning over.

Owens making outs is a very good thing.

All 4 of our potential CF's in this lineup doing so however...

 

Gavin K's Blanks

 

Gerut grounds to Lillibridge

PK having a good spring. I'm with the crowd that thinks he'll have a very good 2009.

HAHA. I heard that.

 

Um, yeah, that guy that won 17 games for a division winner last year.

Owens leading Anderson in the race to the Mendoza Line, .194 to .185.

 

Gavin Floyd gets a strikeout with his slider? Sure it wasn't his curve? They keep call him throwing his slider and not curve....interesting.

 

You think they'd be more familiar with Gavin Floyd from his time w/ the Phillies...it's not like he wasn't one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball.

 

Owens blasted by announcers for diving for a "marginal" flyball that allowed the typing run to score and letting and ball get past him all the way to the wall. UGH.

 

Well, this is the only time some of us can get away with rooting AGAINST the White Sox and not feel TOO guilty. I'm marking that as an unearned run in my scorebook, lol....Gavin had a ton of those last year where the defense didn't pick him up like it should have.

The Padre announcers don't necessarily know what's going on.

Owens fails to grab a ball on a dive, ball gets past him, goes to the wall, Macias (took a questionable walk with AJ trying to head to the bench) scores, game tied 1-1.

Owens misplays a ball. He's so going to get released.

Sounds like Owens gave up the run on that play. Misplayed it pretty bad. Good to hear.

Based on the 2006 standard, that play just ensured him the CF spot.

I think he does indeed have a slider. But its not a pitch he throws often, unless his curve isn't working. Its the spring though, so, maybe he is playing with it a bit.

 

BTW, that was Fields' 3rd double of the spring. Beckham has five, leading the team...I think he had at least one or two doubles against Australia in the exhibition game as well.

 

 

Gavin Floyd, auditioning for the leadoff spot, shows Anderson and Owens a thing or two by grabbing a walk on the full count. Fouled off a pitch even.
