Spring Training Game #2: Jason Hirsh vs. Gavin Floyd

Email
PrintThe Rockies have had so much success against the White Sox in Cactus League play that they don't even bother trotting out a major league lineup anymore. With Ian Stewart being scratched with a strained right biceps, what was already a questionable starting nine got a little more cloudy:
2B Eric Young Jr.
LF Scott Podsednik
3B Christian Colonel
DH Jeff Baker
CF Carlos Gonzalez
C Yorvit Torrealba
1B Joe Koshansky
RF Daniel Ortmeier
SS Omar Quintanilla
Although it's not like the White Sox are making much more of an attempt to impress their home fans:
CF Dewayne Wise
RF Brian Anderson
1B Paul Knoerko
SS Wilson Betemit
LF Josh Kroeger
3B Dayan Viciedo
DH Brandon Allen
C Corky Miller
2B Brent Lillibridge
At least prospect watchers might get some kick out of this. In addition to the "teenager" Viciedo, 2008 White Sox first round pick Gordon Beckham is also supposed to play today.
According to Patrick Saunders, Hirsh will be followed by Franklin Morales, Huston Street and Taylor Buchholz. That still probably leaves us an arm or two short, so I guess we'll have to wait and see who comes in after that.

Gameday link?
In case those of us with no lives really want to keep tabs on Bake, Yorvit, JoKo, and Co., even if only on an application that updates approximately once every half hour? (AKA you know you have a problem when…)
Blast and botheration.
Also
Who’s this Paul Knoerko character?

So I expect the first pitch sometime around 1:30. It kind of seems to have a mind of its own…

Eh, 2 rough innings
Apparently Hirsh is locating great, though! Putting everything in the same spot!

Hoping for a good showing from Morales
I have a feeling we are going to need him to take control of that fifth spot. i think especially long term it would be best for the team.
Again
First Cactus league game.
We seem them making mechanical errors, missing spots, giving up hits, and assume this will be them on April 10.
This is not the way it is.

I think for his confidence it would a very good thing to have a good start.
Ahh, ST is going terrible. Tank, Tank for the 1st over all pick.
Sorry, still stuck in Avalanche mode.

It's fundamentals...
That was a near perfect Hurdle inning. Torrealba’s bunt shows Iannetta why he better watch his back while he’s at the WBC, you know.
The bunt takes away the chance for a DP...

that's what it's showing on Gameday
for every batter. I’m thinking it might not be entirely accurate…
Groundballs
On the plus side as far as street goes it looks in text like he threw three ground balls. Two for outs and one that JoKo knocked down. I’m not sure on his splits on GB% but it’s good to work on getting that sinking action on the two seemer going when you get into Coors.
I'm assuming Quintanilla is doing something massive.

Krieger
I hope his first official act will be to waylay Kiszla and Paige with lead pipes and say, “From now on, none of you dopes gets to say a word about the Rockies unless you can treat them with the fairness that I treat them.”

They really should split up
I find Kiszla to be spot-on when he writes about the Nuggets, and Paige usually gets the Broncos right. Give Krieger everything else and you’d have some good column-ing.

Oh, the usual
Stuff about Spilly being a “women-ogling tool” (that’s pretty much verbatim) to Holliday being a greedy schlub who was clearly playing us the entire time and to whom we don’t miss at all, to Tulo being a headcase flash-in-the-pan, etc etc…. Seriously, it’s pretty vile.
Blast and botheration.
Well it depends
Calling Spills a womanizer is one thing, and unacceptable. Calling Holliday greedy is another, and mostly based out of frustration. But things like “headcase” and “flash-in-the-pan” are just vernacular for baseball analysis.

Basically
The “bowler” throws the ball to the batsman, who hits it in God knows what direction (thanks crazy bat) and him and another guy run back and forth between the wickets, scoring as many wickets as possible. It ends when the fielders knock over the wickets with the ball. Balls hit outside of the playing surface are worth a specified number of wickets.
IT’s absurd but awesome.

cricket is really a neat game
I watched a bunch of it during the World Cup a couple years ago. It’s a little tough to follow at first, but it’s actually pretty simple. The wacky thing is the stats. If you think baseball has a lot of goofy stats, it’s got nothing on Cricket. Those guys have figured out a stat for EVERYTHING!!

I like that it's taking so long when we are at bat
It usually means a long half inning with lots of hits/runs, which in this case would be a good thing.
Well, I always think this
and then it turns out that they were probably just fouling off a lot before they went 4-3.

in elementary school whose last name was Wood. She used to joke that I should marry her brother so I could be Holly Wood.
With a name like that
people would always refer to you by first and last name. Never just your first name.
According to Wiki
he went to Dallas Baptist and Texas Christian. I wonder how that worked out with a name like that.

Still
That would be one hellacious throw, to not only travel all the way to Tennessee but go through a window and two doors to knock me in the head while I’m in class.
The obvious question being
a) why are you on PR, and b) why do you think Lindsay can’t do it?
Blast and botheration.
The obvious answer being
a) Because this is my last class before spring break and I’m not paying attention.
b) Because… well, actually, I think he probably could.
Spring break already?
Lucky. My brain’s fried and I’ve still got two more weeks.
Blast and botheration.
One week here, but a test tonight

Actually
I’m not too jazzed. It’s way too early to be having spring break (still cold half the time), and it’s like my last spring break ever.
Well, I'm psyched for my spring break
for various reasons. You up to anything fun, at least?

Can't go wrong with that.

Blast and botheration.
Yeah
Would be kind of cool to go to Tucson right now. But all my money will be going towards bar exam prep for the next few months, so that’s out.
Is this your last semester?
I don’t know what I’ll do once I don’t have any more school to delay real life.

Imagine not having a Spring break.
BYU doesn’t. Although I actually kind of liked it, because our winter semester ended mid-April, giving us a leg-up on everyone else for summer jobs, and making for a pretty long summer.
Ouch
My winter semester in college usually ended around late April/early May, and that was with a spring break.
Spring in England?
Silver you were lied to, the Brits don’t participate in Spring. They call it summer because they bring out their brightly colored umbrellas. The Normans celebrate spring, and sometimes the Welsh, at least they sing about it.
Keepin' warm by the hot stove season.

simple, and obscure spellings however. How can one not spell one’s own degree anyway, it is almost as if they don’t deserve it.
