does anyone know what's happening in ther game?

Each time through the rotation, ideally starters will go deeper and we won't have a parade of guys that aren't likely to see a major league game any time soon. Two innings for Matusz and then 7 straight one-inning pitchers...one of them is bound to fail. See Bierbrodt yesterday, Spoone today.

Strange stat line for Adrian Rosario today.

1IP, 1H, 0ER, 3 pitches. How often does someone retire the side on 3 pitches and still give up a hit?

Methinks you did not read the beginning of this very game thread.

2-0 Twins, bottom of the 8th. O's have a runner on first with 2 outs.

Jim Hoey pitching for the Twins.

Nick Green whiffs to end the 8th. On to the 9th.

[NCRaven]

Nick Green is not helping his cause. 0 for spring and a couple of errors so far. Izturis is far better defensively at any infield position and Fox is better offensively. There really isn't an area that he has looked particularly good.

[PaulFolk]

Clay Rapada is on to pitch the 9th.

Rapada rings up Ray Chang on a called third strike.

As described by the MLB scoreboard...

"Justin Huber doubles (1) on a fly ball to right fielder Tyler Henson, deflected by center fielder Matt Angle."

OK then. I guess it was a fly ball that went off Angle's glove.

[PaulFolk]

Anyway, a pop-out ends the inning (not sure how the O's got the second out). Down to the bottom of the ninth, O's trail 2-0.

[LarryHarlow]

I imagine that pitch count isn't accurate, especially if you're going by GameDay. Any time a ball is put into play, they count it as a 1-pitch at-bat.

Ahh, you're right, my fault. That must be a shortcoming of their Spring Training coverage.

Thanks for updating the game. Work is important.:laughlol:

[nbrger]

thanks to all who reported PBP of the game. We who without broadcasts salute you.

[Going Underground]

Swarzak on to pitch for the Twins.

[PaulFolk]

Jim Hoey is out after 2 scoreless innings. He stands to get the win. (For whatever a spring training "win" is worth.)

Anthony Swarzak now pitching for the Twins. Leadoff walk by Matt Angle. Rally time!
