Haven't been around too much the last few days, sorry about that folks. Lineups:
- Mike Cameron CF
- Dustin Pedroia 2B
- Víctor Matrínez 1B
- David Ortiz DH
- Jason Varitek C
- Jeremy Hermida LF
- Bill Hall SS
- Tug Hulett 3B
- Josh Reddick RF
Pitching: Josh Beckett, Scott Atchinson, Brian Shouse, Junichi Tazawa
- Andrew McCutchen CF
- Ronny Cedeño SS
- Akinori Iwamura 2B
- Garrett Jones DH
- Ryan Doumit C
- Lastings Milledge LF
- Jeff Clement 1B
- Andy LaRoche 3B
- Delwyn Young RF
Pitching: Paul Maholm, Vinnie Chulk, Brendan Donnelly, Evan Meek, Brian Burress
This is a real interesting lineup. All the projected starters, plus Delwyn because we have a DH. I think if anything I might just rather switch Cutch and Iwamura in this lineup. I'm OK like this too though. Who are all these Red Sox? I had to look if they've got a split squad today (they do not). You've got to imagine they are evaluating the bottom half of this lineup still? I know their lineup is weaker this year, but this one doesn't even make me blink. Pedroia should probably be in the cleanup spot. Anyways, lets wake up the bats, guys!

Clement walks
first and second for LaRoch….who homers to left field. At least the home plate ump called it fair, but the 2nd base ump called it foul. Now they are calling it foul. Russell out to talk.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Now he lines it to left
RBI single on the “redo” for LaRoche. 2-1 Red Sox.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
hey thanks for doin this poorboy
really helps those of us who cant listen to the audio or watch on tv. How has Maholm looked, aside from the ortiz homer?
well
he’s sounded good. Especially the second inning he made some quick work and was real effecient. Even the first inning, if Cedeño would have made that play he wouldn’t have even seen Ortiz that inning.
This third inning has started a bit rocky, some balls hit hard in the air.

glad people enjoy it…for a while today I was pretty sure I was talking to myself :)

Thanks as well
I have MLB and could watch at work but listening is a bit too distracting. This is the only place to grab a quick update that I’ve found.
Martínez
lines to right, Scrappy was frozen on the play and Pedroia scores. 3-1 Red Sox.

Scrappy
increases his home run lead, two run shot to right field. 4-3 Pirates!
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Bob Walk
was making the point (as he has before) that there is no sense fretting over the money. Once you sign a guy to a guaranteed contract, that money is spent. If he’s not the best option, just cut him. It’s a good point, especially when it isn’t heaps of money (Matt Morris anyone?).

Could you please...
type with a Howard Cosell accent?!? I want to be flashing back to 1979. I’ll put on the Sister Sledge!
I have a hard enough time
conveying sarcasm on the tubes, I think Cosell will be really tough.

Jason

Jason
The Hanging Curve
if its possible to make out from the audio broadcast, could you let us know if the HRs are wind-aided or not! With so many HRs to all parts, it d be useful to make the distinction!
Again, thanks for the PBP!
Bob Walk
wants to go one day without talking about wind, so they aren’t helping things. But they said he put a real nice swing on it, and judging by how quickly it went from crack of the bat to home run, I don’t think that was wind-aided at all.

the Jones home run
was absolutely crushed by all accounts, so no wind there. Young HR I don’t know, it sounded iffy.

yeah
young has so many recently, that there’s considerable room for doubt. He can put them out, no doubt, but I m not sure that the power surge is real, even if its a phase.
Carlin flies out to right
Moss “rips” a ball into right field, a single, his first hit of the spring, now 1-23. The dugout is calling for the ball to save.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Myrow must have gotten out
Jeremy Farrell base hit, first and second two outs.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Walker goes full
called out on strikes. End of the 7th, 8-6 Pirates, and I must be off. See you all later.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
If anybody knows...
How is it that Negrych, Farrell, etc. are playing for us, given that they are neither 40-man guys nor NRI’s?
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89
Why can't Mendy bust a long TD run? We could use it.
Call ups from minor league camp....
Gives them a chance to play in a big league game as late inning subs. Happens quite often in early spring games.

The Pirates have been making a point...
…of bringing a different couple of those guys over every day and giving them a few innings of late-game time, as a reward.
I've noticed that...
Even Gift got in one game this week
by Hitman Easler on Mar 19, 2010 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions
And also.
Meek gives up three straight hits to begin the inning, including an RBI double by Jason Place. 8-7 Pirates after 7 and a half.

Raynor homers off Tazawa to lead off the bottom of the eighth.
9-7 Bucs.

Vazquez, Negrych, and Pearce go 1-2-3 behind him, though.
Heading to the 9th.

What can I say?
One heck of a start by poorboywilly.
I had to leave right before the end, though, so I had to settle for the hold. Eh.

Great commentary
the evil webmeister blocks streaming audio at work and I have an interior office, so no radio even. The best I can get is the live box scores. This helps get a feel f/the game, more so than reading the box score.
Somebody go throw eggs at plze shopp.com
