Os vs the Rays, March 3rd

[isestrex]

Hmmm

Hit and Run on... Wieters grounds it to 1B and it was fielded too close in the infield so Markakis was caught in a run-down between 3rd and Home.

I think Kakes got a good jump, Wieters just hit it to the wrong person....

[Hooded Viper]

Markakis thrown out at plate on a chopper to 1st. Apparently he was running on contact, which I don't understand when nobody is out. Wieters on 1st and Tejada on 2nd.

in which Bell forces himself on the MLB team just like Murray did in his rookie year with an awesome display of hitting talent and muscle in Spring Training.

Scott picks up Wieters/Markakis with an up the middle single to plate Miggy.

Spring training game, they were probably just seeing what they can do and it backfired. No big deal.

Hits for Atkins to load the bases.

Luke with an RBI single up the middle.

That's 2 great at bats from Scott so far today. Took a walk in his first at bat, then took the count to 3-2 before singling here in the 4th.

And now Atkins hits a single. Bases loaded for Bell!!!

Sorry dude, this aint happening because what would you do with Miggy?

[jerios55]

Bell homers in his first at bat.

Move over Brooks....

Of all the threads we have nobody had a "Who homers first this year"? :laughlol: Oh well, to Bell it goes.

I'll wait for a game that counts.

[Hooded Viper]

Sac fly by Bell, 3-0 O's.

True, but if Bell outplays Snyder in AAA then he could come up and play 1B if/when the Atkins experiment fails.

[isestrex]

High fly ball but shallow to LF results in a sac fly.

Sounds like Bell tried to crush it as he took a big cut on a foul ball 1 pitch earlier. Can't blame him for trying

Jones quietly 0-2 with a BB.

End of the 4th.

3-0 O's

Don't squash George's dreams! What if Bell homers in every spring training at-bat?

edit: I guess the dream is over.

Not to be a negative nancy, but these are the kinds of infuriating mistakes from last year they are supposedly correcting in spring training. Just sayin'

Well, they're getting the mistakes out of the way in spring training so it'll be out of their system by April.
