Games Thread: March 9, 2008

Split Squad Action with the Nationals this afternoon. In the away game, Jeremy Sowers struggled in the first inning, giving up four hits, three runs and a walk. In the home game, Jake Westbrook has been amazing and Barfield and Marte went back-to-back with shots that sounded like no-doubters for a 2-0 Tribe lead.

Sowers now at 1.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R (all earned). On the plus side, Hammy had it wrong and Sowers has not given up a walk... yet.

Also mildly concerning was a Hammy report about two pitchers yesterday where Laffey and Jensen were each topping out, according to the scout he talked to, in the 85-86 range.

Hafner with an RBI double, scoring Michaels. 3-0 Tribe at home, 6-0 Nats on the road.

I watched both the Mets and the Phillies games and I thought they were using the slow gun. Everybody was off about 4 mph. They had Fausto at 90-91 during his three innings. I wouldn't worry about it. The scout in question must've been using the slow gun as well.

Sowers and Lee have not made a positive impression in their attempts to reclaim the 5th spot in the rotation from Laffey.

It looks like no one really "wants" it. I know that's not the case, but no one is proving that they would be better than the others.

Re: Games Thread: March 9, 2008

So what happens if Carroll goes the entire spring without a hit?

Then he'll really be due for the rest of the season! Right?

Just noticed that Garko is not in either game. I asumme he's with the away team since Dellucci and Jhonny are the only regulars on that team.

Ok, I forget Guitz and Shoppach. My bad. It does seem like our "A" team is playing their "b" team and vice versa.

4-0 at home as Michaels goes yard. 7-0 on the road. Bauer gives up a run and the Indians have only two hits, one each from Gutz and Jhonny.

Hafner's RBI earlier gave him 4 in the past two days, after having 5 all last spring, if that means anything.

Pitching lines at home:
Westbrook- 3 IP, 1 H (should have been an error on Marte), 1 BB, 5 K
Kobayashi- 1 IP, 0 H, 1 K
Fultz- 1 IP, 1 BB, 1 K (back on for a second inning)
