Spring Training v the Rockies

  • Ah, yes… spring training games are here! Why is there still snow outside my door?

    Anyway, the Dbacks squared off with the Rockies today and won 5-3.

    EPIC!

    I didn’t actually get to watch the game (or listen to it for long, for that matter), but by looking at the stats it seems like it was a decent game all around.

    Billy Buckner had a decent outing, only giving up one run. Chris Young (a stud) had a 2-run jack. Mark Reynolds stuck out once (in two AB’s… so right now he’ll strike out once every two at-bats! Ha!) but had 1 RBI. The Dbacks tried to get Ryan Roberts to steal (I heard this in the 2 minutes I

    was able to listen to the game) and was gunned down like a cannon ball shot toward a kitten at close range. Sad Day! The only stolen base on the DBacks side came from a guy named Chris Roberson… a guy who received an invitation to workout with the team (I think. I honestly haven’t heard of him before). And finally, the newbie, Felipe Lopez, capitalized on drawing a walk by scoring a run. Good! I think this guy will have a BIG year.

    I could go on all day and bore you with stats, but I’ll just give you the linky ;)

    What is important from this game then? Well, it is the first one of the year and Arizona won (always a morale booster… even though 25 people played in the game for each side). Games like these also show us players we’ve never heard of and also gives us a glipse for what’s to come.
    All right, all. That’s it for today. I’ll hopefully have a little more insight (and time) tomorrow.
    Reminder: Dbacks and Cleveland TOMORROW at 3PM CST on MLB.TV. I’ll hopefully be watching (perhaps while I’m in class ;) ).
    You're a MLB Pro..Thanks For Coming Back!
