Theriot hot with bat but cold with glove

Padres plated were of the un-earned variety. Jake Fox and Ryan Theriot each commited a error, then Theriot commited another for his 3rd error of the Spring.

The two runs the Cubs did plate came from unlikely sources, Doug Deeds and Ritchie Robnett who was recently acquired. Ryan Theriot fared better with the bat than he did with the glove, Theriot had 2 hits in 3 AB’s to send his Spring BA to .600. Mike Fontenot also collected 2 hits in 3 AB’s to send his Spring BA to .417.

Ryan Dempster was presented with poor defense, he pitched 2 innings of 2 hit, 3 run ball, all runs un-earned. Mike Stanton and Kevin Hart each pitched a scorless inning, both players are hopefull of making the major league club come opening day.
