I bought Direct TV Sport pack that includes Comcast Chicago Sports. Why doesn't this channel broadcast the Chicago games? This sucks big time.

 

You have to order MLB Extra Innings

Sox have tied it in the 9th. Eider Torres with a 2 run triple and Restovich sac fly . 6-6

Anderson now 2/4 on the day, up to hitting .263. Getting slowly better.

Broadway gives up a run in the 10th on a wild pitch.

Not bad at all when you consider his outfield assists and defense. Getz or maybe Beckham to lead off and Anderson can bat 9th is sounding like a good plan to me. Screw speed. I dig the stolen base growing up watching Rock Raines, Ricky Henderson, and Vince Coleman, but this team just doesn't have it and can not seem to be able to acquire it for a reasonable price. I have Betemit, Nix, Wise, and Miller going north as well. Nix has shown some talent and I want to keep him despite the quad issues. DL him if needed.

 

Sorry about that ...... done.

 

Now it is the size of an avatar, you can definitely make it bigger than it is currently, it is just orginally it was the size of the entire screen. Now it is almost too small, though do what you do.

Accdg to the box score it was Braun that gave up the 4 run inning, not DJ.

And all of a sudden, BA's numbers look decent.

Make it a 3/5 day for Anderson, now up to .283. 3/5 on the day for Betemit also. Alexei 0/5. AJ 2/4, guess he decided he needed to keep pushing that .467 BA higher.

OK, the FO has conditioned me and now i'm pumped: bring on Wise/BA platoon.

 

I mean its not like i have any other choice.

 

Maybe Wise can sustain something decent in the way of a batting average. I would like Getz to come up and take leadoff however, coming out of the box strong and impressing Ozzie

Gameday at the time had it as Carrasco .Braun probably wasn't recognized since it was his 1st appearance of the spring. Thanks for the heads up.

Please turn it around BA, we NEED you to win this job.

Anderson could have hit .600 this spring and it still would have started as a platoon.

Anderson actually has better spring numbers than Wise, he has 10 more AB but still . . .

 

.282/.370/.513/.883 in 39 AB, 5/10 BB/K, 0 SB - Brian

 

.310/.300/.517/.816 in 29 AB, 0/5 BB/K, 1 SB - Dweezy

I love how his OBP is lower than his BA.

It's pretty funny, if the season started today our leadoff hitter would be a 31 year old career minor leaguer with a .300 spring OBP.

I love how his OBP is lower than his BA.

Yes, how did you figure that?

 

Edit: Sacrifices, got it. That's very grindy.

Jim Thome, who has experienced tightness in his lower back, played in a simulated game.

 

"I probably got six or seven at-bats and worked on some things, did our work, and everything was great," he said.

 

Thome expects to start Wednesday against the Angels.

He has a sacrifice fly. OBP is calculated using plate appearances while batting average is calculated using AB. A SF doesn't count as an AB but it does count as a PA. So it hurts your OBP because you tallied a PA without reaching base but leaves your AVG unaffected since it doesn't count as an AB.
