Looks like the weather will be much better today. This one is televised on NESN for the New Englanders (and mlb.tvers) and is on the radio in Pittsburgh. Most of the guys that were going to pitch yesterday are set to pitch today, with Brad Lincoln and Vinnie Chulk pushed from today to the recently scheduled "B" game vs. the Orioles at 10 AM EDT tomorrow. LIneups:
- Delwyn Young 2B
- Andy LaRoche 3B
- Garrett Jones DH
- Jeff Clement 1B
- Lastings Milledge LF
- Brandon Moss RF
- José Tábata CF
- Jason Jaramillo C
- Argenis Díaz SS
Pitching: Paul Maholm, D.J. Carrasco, Jack Taschner, Chris Jakubauskas, Javier Lopez, Jeremy Powell
- Jacoby Ellsbury LF
- Dustin Pedroia 2B
- Víctor Martínez C
- Kevin Youkilis 1B
- David Ortiz DH
- J.D. Drew RF
- Adrián Béltre 3B
- Mike Cameron CF
- Marco Scutaro SS
Pitching: Clay Buchholz, Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Delcarmen, Boof Bonser, Brian Shouse, Michael Bowden
The Red Sox have a new look lineup, but it sure isn't as formidable as last year. Basically they trade Bay's bat for Cameron's (downgrade) and I really don't see how Béltre is supposed to be better than Lowell, even at this injury-riddled stage of his career. Unless Béltre somehow recaptures the magic of that one year. Surely Ortiz isn't going to come back? He's pretty old at this point. He's useful but a shell of what he used to be. At any rate their rotation should keep them in the running for the AL East yet again.

yesterday MLB wouldn’t let me listen to the radio, today NESN is experiencing technical difficulties, so no video (yet).
Jason

It said ‘tape delay’ on the mlb.com scoreboard. Not sure if that means replayed at the end of the game or after a couple of innings.
Clement base hit top of the second no outs …picked off on a botched bunt by Lastings. Oh dear.

nah
sounds like I’m listening on time…I think they mean “really quiet audio feed and really loud commercials are playing” instead of “tape delay”

I would like to appologize to anyone listening to Don and Remy right now.
They don’t know how to do play by play when there’s no video.
USG
right into the mitt of Jaramino
who’s that? :)

Trust me
Not much better with video. Orsillo is OK, but Remy . . . ugh.

Did you see how he’s selling “season passes” for his bar? For $500, you’re guaranteed a table during Red Sox games. You can buy a season ticket for Bucs games for less than that — inside the stadium and everything!
Apparently it's a corporate thing.
At least it comes with $2000 dollars in overpriced food credits. Not that bad if you’re in the neighborhood.

Papelbon in
LaRoche lines out to RF
Jason
The Hanging Curve
great play by Béltre apparently
to backhand a possible double and get Jones out
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Clement
pops out to 3B
How about this lineup? Clement cleaning up? DY leading off? I think I’d rather have Tábata or Milledge leading off.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
López in to pitch
Gets Martínez. Youkilis grounds out to LaRoche.
Our offense is MIA but at least the pitching looks good today. Would have been happier if Maholm didn’t walk anyone but one isn’t bad.
Jason

Ortiz takes him full
but a foul tip strikeout, end of the fourth 0-0, Milledge, Moss, Tábata due up

Gorkys in center

Myrow
looks overmatched. Lazy fly ball to center. 3-2 Pirates, bottom of the eighth upcoming.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Navarro
crushes double to left center off Powell, they get the ball in well to stop the triple.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Gorkys makes running catch in right center
runner advances to third.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Alvarez
catches soft line drive from Iglesias. Two down.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
flyout
end of the eighth, Pirates’ last chance here: Van Every, Jones, Hernández due up.
Van Every beaned.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
(shakes head)
three outs in one play (I don’t think it qualifies as a triple play)
Gorkys lines out to short, Van Every doubled up at second, Jones almost tripled at first, but throw is wide. Jones slowly attempts to get to second but ball arrives at second to tag him out there.
It’s just spring training but that is a terrible way to end a game.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Yeah--that's a triple play
Gorkys hit it on the nose, at least. A couple of steps to the left and it’s a game-tying base hit.
