2007 Spring Training Game Thread

[ORS]

Jeebus is Ellsbury fast. I've read the scouting reports, but this is the first time I've seen him.

[schillingouttheks]

I just realized that the first time the Red Sox play the Devil Rays this year is July 3rd...

[example1]

ORS, in case you didn't figure it out the error was Lugo. He double clutched in his glove then made a lazy throw that went catcher-side by about 3 feet. Fortunately he made up for it with an RBI.

[ORS]

Was Piniero's R an ER?

[example1]

Nope. The inning should have ended with that groundball. The next batter lined a single to CF.

[schillingouttheks]

Heyyyy! There's the Tavarez we all remember!

[example1]

Isn't this s*** great man? I LOVE it that baseball is back and I even enjoy watching late-inning spring training games.

 

Game tied after a Mauer 3 run shot off Tavarez. Oh yeah, I forgot about THAT feeling.

[ORS]

Looks like JT is going to suck again.

[ORS]

Nicely played by Wily.

[example1]

Who is #3 in RF?

[example1]

Was that WMP?

[example1]

You can tell Schilling is relieved that his night went decently.

[schillingouttheks]

Who is #3 in RF?

 

I believe that's Alex Ochoa. Non-roster invitee, I think?

 

EDIT: Yes, it is. The Sox' website says it's Ochoa.

[ORS]

You know, Curt's interview is pissing me off a bit. Show the game.

[ORS]

Yeah, in hindsight, I guess it wasn't WMP, but I couldn't see that in the .0375" screen that they reduced it to so they could show Curt's interview.

[example1]

Yeah' date=' in hindsight, I guess it wasn't WMP, but I couldn't see that in the .0375" screen that they reduced it to so they could show Curt's interview.[/quote']

 

I can see how you would confuse the two, they are only a few pixels different.

 

I didn't like the interview either, especially since they weren't putting up bio-info about the players hitting or in the field when the sound went away (not like Remy and Orsillo know better anyway...).

 

At least have the interview in the small screen.

[ORS]

Spann's got some stone-hands.

[VA Sox Fan]

hey VA Sox fan' date=' what place is that? I've got XM radio, and I dunno where u r in richmond, but where are u talking about.[/quote']

 

 

Hey Pap. It's Bailey's at Huguenot and Robious. Any Bailey's, BW3's and Glory Days will have NESN and some of the ST games. Where are you?

 

Schilling looked fine and was typical Schil IMO, no heavier than usual (fk'n media).

 

Donnelly was very impressive.

 

THANK GOD SPRING TRAINING IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[example1]

Ochoa has a god-like arm apparently.

 

Who knew? :dunno:

[RedSoxRooter]

ahhhh yeah. EXTRA INNINGS BABY!

[NateGrey]

.. Chris Smith has a filthy chg ..

[Anuj09]

why wasnt he brought up last year in September?

[riverside sluggers]

Not basing on just what ive seen in ST... Donnelly should be one of the 2 main set up men along with Timlin, he might even should be the favorite for 8th inning duties with opportunities for saves

[hoefdj18]

yea donnelly was pretty solid. but it's too early still to judge anything. but hopefully what we saw tonite, is what we get for the rest of spring training and the season too.

[Mr Crunchy]

donnelly always impressed me but stat wise hes fallen since 02

he spent 10 years in the minors??

 

i like him better than the other guys we have out there

[VA Sox Fan]

I don't get the Spring Training box scores, any assistance would be appreciated.

[MANNYHOF24]

Beckett K'd five today in two shutout innings vs. NE today.

[Ray10]

Is there anywhere that we can get the boxscore from the game vs NE.?

[MANNYHOF24]

boston.com I think.

[riverside sluggers]

Spann made 2 errors again, this time facing the Blue Jays. That gives him 4 errors in the past 24 hours.

 

White he had a very productive season in Portland, .297 avg, 10 HRs, 50 RBIs.. defense has always been a stichler for him. If he wants to get even a sniff of consideration for 3rd base auditions (if Mike Lowell leaves) he needs to turn a complete 180
