Remy and Orsillo just mapped out the Sox rotation for early April but it can't be right. There is no way Arroyo will start the 8th, and then again on the 11th.

I think Joe and Jerry said that he had left his uniform behind accidentally or something.

In the 2nd, Hall led off with a single, then Durbin doubled, making it 2nd and 3rd 0 outs. Bellhorn grounded out 4-3 scoring the runner and moving Durbin to 3rd with 1 down. Next up was Mueller, and he also grounded 4-3 to score Durbin. Halama started, not Arroyo.

Why is Hall wearing 33?

Doesn't our captain wear that number?

Thanks I just saw it is John Halama's start. Reminds me alot of John Burkett. I saw him pitch in Tampa and was slightly impressed. Can't believe that he is a Sox starter. I know it is only temporary but..... Looks like he is holding his own. John Burkett used to have funky 1st innings then settle in and paint thoes corners. I think I might just like this guy?

Kim is on.

3 lefties to see.

Jeez, that scared me. BK, don't throw sidearm to Millar, he has enough trouble defensively as it is.

nomopedro

Mar 29 2005, 02:25 PM

So with the resigning of Myers, Kim is gonzo unless he hits 98-99 (on the Rdr) today. So long Byung Yung.

czar

Mar 29 2005, 02:27 PM

I'm having trouble with Gameday right now.

I heard Trup said something favorable about Kim's velocity on one of the pitches to Matsui

Just as I post this, he gives up a blooper to Sierra after getting ahead 0-2

czar

Mar 29 2005, 02:29 PM

Tino pops up. 2 outs. Kim has seemed OK against the 3 lefties so far.

FWIW, Trup mentioned that there are/were rumors that Kim MIGHT be involved in the Myers deal should it go through.

nomopedro

Mar 29 2005, 02:29 PM

So what was Halama's line like, decent? 3 innings 50 pitches 3K, 0 BB, 1 ER,1 HR.
This is all a guess I am just wondering if he got into trouble and got out, or if it was pretty smooth sailing?

czar

Mar 29 2005, 02:31 PM

Halama was not too impressive, but did work his way out of jams when they arose...

Kim allows a bloop hit, retires Matsui, Tino, and Sanchez.

3-1 Sox still...

Mar 29 2005, 02:45 PM

Free huh?

I click on the link and get shuffled to the EEI coverage. Oh well, maybe it's because I actually pay for the audio. The fact that the TV is on a 30-60 second delay bothers me when it comes to perusing the boards...

Kim is done after 1

Neal is on.

Mittens

Mar 29 2005, 03:07 PM

Yeah, I don't get the free option either. They just give me the opportunity to pay.

Yeah well I paid cause it was only $15. It was spring training(wich there were only 3 or 4 games actually on there) with the 1st month of baseball but I have a Firewall issue at work and all the games were day games arghhhh!!

You're getting it because Red Sox Nation members get to see select spring training games. Or so I think.

But you also have to listen to Michael Kay.

Mar 29 2005, 03:41 PM

Thanks for the updates. For some of us it is all we have! I'll take some more of 7-1. That sounds like a decent day offense/defense/pitching wise!

Boxscores? I listened to some of the game, but with my boss in one ear: "Blah, blah report, blah blah deadline" I could barely follow...Some people have no manners. What does he think this is? I should have a "baseball clause" in my work contract.

That's good news. It looks like his command is there just fine. Though it's his velocity and endurance that I wonder about.

nomopedro

Mar 29 2005, 04:34 PM

I know. 5 IP 70 pitches. He's getting stretched out!! I keep getting mixed reports on W. Miller some say he will be back in May? Any thoughts?

Schilling is "just" a 90 - 91 - 92 mph guy now isn't he? He didn't light up any speed guns in game 6 ALCS or in the WS, but got it done just fine. I think it's his splitter and other stuff he relies on now. Of course, if he isn't hitting even 90, that's another story.

Where do you get that idea? He was hitting in the low 90's last postseason because he was hobbled by an ankle injury. He was severely limited in pushing off, which is where he gets a lot of his power and velocity from, being a power pitcher. When healthy last year, Schilling was consistently in the mid-to upper 90's.

I could be wrong- but I'm almost positive Bellhorn didn't see time at 1B, although Michael Kay mistook Logan Sorenson at 1B for Bellhorn cos of the #12...

There seems to have been at least one error in each box score so far this spring. I think the scorers need spring training as much as the players!

I didn't think Schilling was that fast (consistent mid-to upper 90's), even at his best last year. That's territory reserved for RJ, Beckett, Sheets, Wagner and a few others. Schilling is fine with a fastball in the low 90s combined with his overall stuff and great control. I may be wrong here.
