Thanks for the info. I was wondering why the pregame wasn't on yet.

Roll call:

Here, I'm at work, might as well ease the pain!  Got my terrestrial radio system operating successfully.

Working on a Saturday? Yikes.

Kearns misjudges a ball that leads to a double but JP gets out of trouble with a K.

[sportsfan882]

Scott Moore (who?) drives a deep HR off of JP.  Sounds like he is giving up a lot of hard hit balls. 

[tomterp]

I haven't heard any radar gun stats on Patterson.

Oh oh, make room for AZ to do a little Dukes worshiping. The crack of the bat on that single was nice and loud though 

[Obed_Marsh]

I hope Slowes is right about the white shirts and different field throwing off Kearns. I'd like to see him maintain his D and improve his hitting.

He seems to be really killing the ball though.

That happens a lot more in ST than it does during the season because of the way the stadiums in the grapefruit league are built.

Yeah if he keeps it up we'll have to activate the adblock

[sportsfan882]

Lannan in to pitch. He should go kick Wendelstelt's ass.

Flores with a base hit.  Jesus > Lo Duca + Estrada.  Jesus can play every day up here.

He's going to, Estrada is nowhere close to being ready. 

[sportsfan882]

Lopez grounds into a double play on a 2-0 count. 

[tomterp]

Sounds like they are going to shut Hill down for a while.

[sportsfan882]

Lannan with 2 scoreless innings and 4 Ks.  Not bad.   

[spidernat]

Honestly I felt last year that he wouldn't be in the rotation until May at the earliest so anything before that is a bonus. His injury history is as bad as JPWH.

LF Mo Pena
CF Milledge
RF Dukes

that's how the opening day outfield should look. 

And Patterson/Lannan decent today.  I'll take it.  Get the bats moving.

Listening to the game while watching NC State-Duke; I'm in sports heaven.

I just watched Syracuse have a complete meltdown at the end of their game. Duke is losing, correct?

[KnorrForYourMoney]

Duke was losing.  It's now 85-all.

I also want to commend Lannan on a great outing today.  4 K's and 1 BB in two innings is great! (without a run allowed no less)
