what looked like it was going to be a victory for the fish behind stellar pitching performances turned into a travishammockery (for those of you who don't know, you need to watch tv more. a special prize for the winner). beckett went 6 innings in today's game, giving up only 1 run - you really can't talk about that much. just that it was damn good. he did struggle at times in locating some pitches and was a little frustrated, but he prevailed.

 

at first i thought it was going to be another offense oriented game when cabrera launched a homerun to right center field in the top of the 2nd inning - that kid, and yes, i said kid, is amazing. i might need to hurry up and get his autograph before he gets that $ 100 million contract. :)

 

mecir came in to close the game in the top of the 9th, but struggled with location and gave up walks, hits, and everything else. just wasn't his day i guess you could say. justin wayne was put in to replace him and threw 4 straight balls - 2 of them to the backstop - before being yanked. bentz had to come up in and get a ground ball to end the inning. fyi - wayne almost hit me - twice - in the bullpen while warming up......and i wasn't even catching him. for those of you who were at the game, you might have seen me laying on the ground once or twice. i was busy warming up bentz on the next mound and almost got smoked in the ankles - not funny.

 

before the game on a backfield, spooney threw another live bp session. of course he wasn't throwing his usual speed, but from what i heard from some of the hitters, his ball was still cutting. he and lincoln holdzkom were the hardest guys to catch - because you didn't know which way their fastball was going to go. it always going to cut one way or the other.

 

we travel to vero tomorrow - b game in the morning, and A game at 1:05. i'm catching the b game with the rest of the roster made up by non-25 roster guys. should make for one hell of a long day if you ask me.

 

my public apology for the girls i didn't speak to after the game. after we finished our conditioning one of the other catchers tried apologizing for not catching a bullpen that day, and i became furious. it always seems like it's willingham and myself down in the bullpen, and this other guy didn't even bother coming down at all. mike difelice even came down to help out with one pitcher - he's the last guy i would expect to catch a pen because he's got 8 years in the show under his belt. so once again, i apologize. my emotions got the best of me.

Poor Justin Wayne...seems like he fell apart ever since that injury last April

 

Good to see Spooney still progressing

 

I love the honesty in your journals

 

Good luck tomorrow

those things happen jorg...the rough outings by the pen guys.

 

 

i think we all know mecir will be better more often than he is bad.

 

 

wayne probably just signed his ticket to AAA.

 

 

sucks that some of those catchers dont feel they need to do their job. Just keep up the good work Jorg and you will make the roster...your defense is key...the bat will just be a bonus.

 

 

ahh those commericals last year were fun.
