3/2 O's vs. Red Sox

[BillySmith]

I think we have radio today, 105.7, so this will be a lot more fun.

Here's Roch's reporting a relatively weak Red Sox lineup and Oriole pitchers who will go:

Red Sox lineup

By Roch Kubatko on March 2, 2009 10:47 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Jacoby Ellsbury - CF

Jed Lowrie - 3B

Chris Carter (all he does is score touchdowns) - LF

Brad Wilkerson - 1B

Jeff Bailey - RF

Lars Anderson - DH

George Kottaras - C

Nick Green - 2B

Ivan Ochoa (did Alex change his name?) - SS

Justin Masterson - P

A reminder that the Orioles will send Brad Bergesen to the mound. Also scheduled to pitch are Jim Johnson, Chris Ray, Chris Waters and Wilfrido Perez.

JTrea gets his Bergesen fix.

Jones back in lineup

Adam Jones will serve as the designated hitter today, so he'll get a few at-bats to stay sharp while receiving treatment for the tightness in his right elbow and forearm.

Brian Roberts - 2B

Adam Jones - DH

Nick Markakis - RF

Aubrey Huff - 1B

Ty Wigginton - 3B

Luke Scott - LF

Justin Christian - CF

Gregg Zaun - C

Chris Gomez - SS

Brad Bergesen - P

Per Roch.

JTrea gets his Bergesen fix.

Should have been opening day starter last season.

[tywright]

Bergesen goes full with Ellsbury after starting 0-2...and then strikes him out looking.

[tywright]

Bergesen goes full again...then flyball to left for the out.

[BillySmith]

BB takes 8 pitches to k Ellsbury, from 0-2 to 3-2.

BB won't be 24 'till September.

Fly out, 2 down.

[tywright]

1-2-3...Carter grounder to 2nd

[BillySmith]

Only about 13 pitches to get out of the first.

[Guest BrettMeister86]

This guy is the real deal. He would make a perfect back end starter for this year and long into the future when the young aces get here.

The cavalry is coming, and Bergesen just might be the first horseman...

[PaulFolk]

Gah! Somebody forgot to shut off the commercials, so they were still playing for about 45 seconds as Joe Angel was broadcasting.

[Scrat1]

I hope Pie gets some innings here.

[PaulFolk]

Roberts and Jones both ground out to start the 1st.

[JTrea81]

Roberts and Jones ground out, Markakis up...

[PaulFolk]

Base hit for Nick.

[Big Mac]

Markakis keeps the inning alive with a single.
