Games –29 and –28: Orioles vs. Sox, Sox at Marlins

PrintLineups for today's doubleheader action.
First at home versus the Marlins (1.05 pm):
Scutaro SS; Pedroia 2B; Ortiz DH; Youkilis 3B; Saltalamacchia C; Cameron CF; McDonald RF; Nava LF; Anderson 1B
Pitchers: Matsuzaka, Wakefield, Papelbon, Bard, Jenks
So, basically, we have a post-Adrian Beltre breaking Jacoby Ellsbury and Jeremy Hermida, pre-interleague feel to the Sox's home lineup today. As for the bullpen, it looks like the basic plan is to have Jonathan Papelbon facing pro hitters before giving way to Daniel Bard and Bobby Jenks in cleanup mode. (Particularly since Jenks is just getting started.)
Then at the Orioles in Sarasota (also at 1.05 pm):
Ellsbury CF; Tejada 2B; Crawford LF; Middlebrooks 3B; Linares DH; Wagner C; Spears RF; Sutton 1B; Iglesias CC
Pitchers: Aceves, Atchison, Reyes, Rice, Fox, Santeliz
Hmm. Looks like the Sox are skirting dangerously close to not having enough regular starters on this away trip. (MLB rules say that teams should field at least four players from the regular roster per game—although this may only be a rule for the away team.)
The home game will be covered on TV by NESN and by the MLB network, and on the interwebz at MLB.com; the away game gets radio coverage from Baltimore.

I think the 4 starters rule becomes less strict during split squad games
because, lets be honest, the guys who want to see red sox players are in fort myers
I suppose, but I think the Orioles are entitled to face a certain quality of opposition as well.
Even if most of the big names are at Ft. Myers.

It might also count someone like Gonzo, who definitely won't play
And if Aceves is counted as one of “at least four players from the regular roster,” then with him and Gonzo they have four already.
Dear Remy: Gonzalez cannot get back into the Sox lineup
Given that he hasn’t been in it before. . . . Nice try, though.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
Eh, we've had A. Gonzalez before. Close enough.

If we had signed him instead of Scutaro
we could have had two.

Messy, messy, messy.
Just about all the way through the infield there. Except for Lahs.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
Pedroia's throw wasn't that bad.
And there was nothing Youk could do about it.
Mostly just a bad miss by Scoot.

Dice-K looking more like Dice-H today.

Can't necessarily assume the DP
It would’ve been a tough one.

Would have saved one run, though, at least.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
Make that two runs.
Because the K would have been out number three.

And there was much rejoicing.
Yay.

Changeup good
Curveball inconsistent
Fastball being dug out. Not sure if that’s just it being flat, or the Marlins doing a good job with it.

He's not getting any help from the infield.
They’ve been a little bit off all day. Perhaps a hint of flu?
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
I disagree.
He’s gotten a couple swings and misses. Quite a few groundballs, just had bad luck on a lot, either errors by the infielders or getting through holes.
Gliding across would be better.
It’s easy to tag out a soaring player, since they’re, you know, floating in the air and all that.

have you seen the song I'm referencing?
If not, look up Scott Stapp Marlins on Youtube. It will be the funniest decision you make today.
Sox strand runners.

Fredo with a clean inning. Two flyouts--one just short of the track--and a pop-up.

Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
I did that cuz it was just $10.
we’ll see if i end up using it or not, but it seemed cheap enough that I figured I might as well.
I don't think VMart or Tek throws out Bonifacio there. . . .

Sox up 1-0 over Orioles.

Tejeda, again, triples to make it 3-0

Nice to see Iglesias hitting well.
And Tejeda.
I get the feeling there are as many ST triples
Than there are in the regular season, if not more.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
Today, that should be Dai-sucky.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
Sox down 5-0.
Long ball.
That’s on Matsuzaka.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
His breaking ball hasn't looked very good at all.
Very hittable.
Our B team is up 3-0, our A team is dpwn 5-0. Go figure.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
On the other hand, Sabathia is getting rocked.
Also given up 5 runs in 2.2 innings.

Dice-BB.
Of course, it’s the leadoff hitter. Sigh. . . .
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
I missed the first two innings.
I figured Dice-K would suck but how does Pedroia look fielding?
Sorry I stopped commenting last night. I have the games on my TV now so no easy computer access.
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
Nice, I wish Crawford was playing on the televised game.
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
Ha
Crawford cuts in front of Ells to make the out in shallow center.

Aceves has been really good, and he's even facing a pretty strong lineup.
What was that, 3 IP, 2 H? From gameday, it seems like Crawford got like every out.
Strong flyballs though.
A couple you wouldn’t want in Fenway.

Lars is totally picking it so far this spring.
Over the Monster -- SB Nation's Resident Red Sox Site

yeah I don't care what anyone says
from all I’ve seen and heard at this point, Lars is looking like an actual elite defensive first baseman. Good for him working on it.
Wake doesn't like VIPs in the booth.
Even if it’s team brass. Dispatches the side on 9 pitches.

So let's see how well an iPad works for following the comments.
My sister got one… Not even fair….
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
I wish I could be seeing him right now.
Side note comments work just like they do on the computer as they do on the iPad.

Salty seems to catch the knuckleball fairly well.
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
Bonus points if he's trying to catch it with a standard C-mitt.
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
Wow; MLB sells separate apps for the iPhone and iPad.
It’s all ready $15 on iPhone and I would have to spend another $15 on the iPad…..
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
You can use the iPhone app on the iPad
It just won’t take advantage of the larger screen. (Except you can blow things up to double size.)
Fenway: "An alternate and better universe, disguised as a ballpark." --Thomas Boswell
And have it all pixelized.
I mean they all ready charge you every year, e least they could do is have a universal iPhone/iPad app like lots of apps are.
But the iPad works very well for comments. When the iPad 2 comes out I might try to find a cheap iPad because this thing is nice!
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
Honestly they should give you at least one of the apps if you buy MLB.TV Premium.
I already gave them $120.
I love Lester, Pedroia, and Gonzo!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
They should give you the whole damn thing.
This BS where they sell you the app instead of the service is the worst kind of nickle-and-diming.

Atchison, meanwhile, has put Game 2 at risk.
Bases loaded, 0 outs.

DiNardo does his best, but can only get two K's before a bloop ties it.

Another (almost) nice play by Lars there.
Great stop, bad throw.
And so do the Sox.

11 hits versus 6, and the Sox are losing 9-1.
