2/28 Marlins/Os

[PaulFolk]

Brian Bass now pitching, and retires Ramirez on a first-pitch groundout.

A guy named Bass pitching against the Marlins. How fitting.

[El Gordo]

No need to be worried Matusz and Trembley were all smiles coming off the mound. It was a pitch count issue. He did pitch almost two innings he probably had a 30 pitch limit.

How did you know they were all smiles? Are you watching the game?

[L.D.Blair]

Manfred said earlier that Reimold position was bat. Is he really that bad a fielder?

MLB.com box score has Reimold in center. When Christian came out, Cabrera took left field and Reimold moved to center.

It says...

[BillySmith]

So Chiasson gets one batter? That does sound like a matchup. Maybe DT just wanted Matusz out of there with his ERA intact. No biggie.

And I guess we know now why Chiasson is here.

[El Gordo]

The third baseman drops a foul popup to give Brazell new life, but he only uses it to strike out. On to the 8th inning. O's still lead, 4-1.

I don't remember a team more defensively inept than these Marlins.:laughlol:

Yeah, and a guy named Calero pitching against the Orioles.

You can anagram that into Oreal. C.

Wow!

They mentioned that Trembley patted Matusz on the shoulder and the back as he took the ball. Didn't mention whether they were smiling.

Emilio Bonifacio, a fun name to say, draws a one-out walk. Michael Ryan singles.

11 errors so far in their four games of ST.

[PaulFolk]

Ooh, Reimold makes an impressive running basket catch on a Carroll fly ball. Who says his only position is bat?

[BillySmith]

Reimold with a lunging one hand grab and almost gets the runner getting back to second. Kudos from the radio guys on his d.

[PaulFolk]

Groundout ends the inning, and Bass strands two runners. On to the bottom of the 8th. It's still 4-1 Birds.

Sounds to me like Matusz was having an attack of acute indigestion and DT was trying to help him.:laughlol:

Who says? Manfred. Responding to that play Manfred said Reimold is showing this spring that he is better then advertised. I'd like to know what advertisements he has been reading.

Robby Hammock, pinch-hitting for Mora, strikes out against Taylor Tankersley to start the 8th.

Heh..."Manfred." I like it! A portmanteau of Fred and Manfra.

Somebody strikes out. Turner, maybe?
