vs. BLUE JAYS, 3/16 (Spring Training)

[Can_of_corn]

I thought he was going to minor league camp to get massive ABs. He's only done that like one time.

Twice. I think the games missed by all three projected starters have changed that plan a bit.

Who's in to close for O's?

Ryan Webb had a 1,2,3 8th inning. He stayed on for the ninth and couldn't get an out. Four singles and the game was tied with the bases still loaded and no one out. DeLaCruz comes in. Gets a line out and and a 1-2-3 DP to end the inning.

We go to the 10th.

Great save by DeLaCruz!

They play 10 max right?

e: and 1-2-3 DP is a SWEET play! One of my favorites.

I think it depends on how many pitchers they have on hand that can use the work.

I wouldn't expect more then 10.

Odd that Buck went with Webb for a second inning.

Usually that's the deal. Cuban defector, Alvarez, with the HR to give the O's back the lead!!

[Can_of_corn]

That's a name I haven't heard all spring.

No one else was able to cut through that strong head win today. Except for Dariel Alvarez.

The unofficial rule is that games end after ten no matter.

[Lester Freamon]

How did they describe the Alvarez homer. Wind blown or legit?

It was described as gone off the bat, no doubter.

[weams]

Yup... Midseason form plus. What he worth now? 30 million a year...hate to lose the draft choice to Rays if he receives "qualifying Offer" (Snicker)

On a better note, Bell lets in 2, so (8-2 Rays now) 7th inning relief of Rays is "pressure point" of attack.......if Price ever lifted during season. (Ha Ha!)

I guess Balfour's arm is still too "dead' to pitch. Such a shame.

Wind is blowing in. Now it WAS Fred calling it, but it sounded massive.

Dave Johnson reiterated that it was out by quite a bit. It was a slider that he hit.

Arik Sikula was the Jays pitcher who gave up the bomb. An effective A ball relief pitcher, 25 years old. Was not hit off a major leaguer.

Is Alvarez going to Frederick this year?
