Man, the ball tumbled into the meat of the bat on that one. Room service!
I like the "relationship" angle with Navarro, that explains much, if true.
He hasn't hit in the bigs...and the only place he's hit in theminors (3 years running, albeit) is Salt Lake. However, Leonydas Martin, Steve Martin and Rowan & Martin all hit pretty well in Salt Lake.
Pizzano as the late scratch DH was interesting. He got a double off the bench in the earlier game, so I think there was some reward thing happening along with some interest thing. Good! He pretty much got completely fooled on each pitch of his 1st AB K, however.
Seth Smith had 2 hits in the 1st game. .545 for the spring. "Trade schmade," it seems as if he's saying.
Walker went 5 innings, 4 hits, 4 K's, 1 ER in that game. Then Weiland blew it.
RP anyone?
