Werth (.255) vs Tebow (.227) Spring OBP Challenge

[imref]

A hit, a hit, a hit! Zim surges into the lead, beating out a grounder to third.

Scored a run too!

HE'S ON FIRE!!!!

[PowerBoater69]

Holy crap, that didn't last long, TT beat out a grounder to short and took the lead right back.

Tebow goin' Deebo  ...

[PowerBoater69]

Worst thread ever.

Suddenly spring training stats do matter, neither of these guys wants to lose.

[aspenbubba]

Sign Nate Freiman!  And Jason Marquis!  And Ryan Lavarnway! (they aren't going to be playing next weekend).

Too esoteric for most. Marquis was the give away.

Zim unable to build on his momentum, grounds out to the pitcher.

What are you going to do when Tebow is sent to the minor League camp?  Have to just stick with the Mendoza line.

Only MLB spring plate appearances count, when the contestants get sent down their final number is frozen.

[PowerBoater69]

TT banging out hits like its his job.

It'll take a hell of a run for him to challenge the Mendoza line

[PowerBoater69]

A double for the Z man!!!

[imref]

hottest hitter in spring training right now, 2-3 with a run and a double!

I miss esoteric.

[mitlen]

I miss esoteric.

I guess it would be ExxonMobilteric now.

[PowerBoater69]

TT with a productive out, advanced two runners, but doesn't help his OBP.

Zim is done, Tebow is probably done. What a day, two hits each!

A double for the Z man!!!

The right fielder dropped the ball...Zimm had already stopped between first and second thinking it had been caught.

Don't ask me to explain him beating out an infield ground ball in the second inning...I would have asked for a replay challenge on that one...

We have an eyewitness account PB.    We need an investigation.

I'll check tomorrow and then go with the decision of the official box score. Disappointing to hear that his only two hits this spring were lucky at best. 

[NatsAllThe Way]

Well I was all excited when I saw that he went 2 for 3.  Then I read on here he beat out a grounder and then the outfielder dropped the ball on his double.  If he has to rely on beat out grounders for all his hits we're in deep dumpster fire.

Zim's slash line: .100   .217   .150
TT's slash line: .214   .267   .214

Zimmerman is in the lineup today, Tebow isn't.

[nfotiu]

Zimmerman is in the lineup today, Tebow isn't.

So advantage Tebow?

[imref]

Zimmerman is on fire, let's hope he can keep it going.   

Is it just me, or is Zimmerman playing far more than normal so far this spring?
