March 13, 200620 yr ah a disappointing loss to the O's. one bad play and things went downhill after that. despite the numbers, moehler actually threw 3 good innings. after an error he got hit around a little but, but the umpire wasn't the best at the strike judgement behind the dish, and moehler was pitching very well. one play can change a game. they ended up scoring 4 runs after a misplay at SS - shadez nation don't worry, wasn't your boy. i even got in the game today to play first base. was more nervous about getting a ground ball than anything, but i thought i did fine. other than that one inning where things seemed to snowball, we pitched a decent game. offense struggled as there weren't too many hard hit balls today. but sometimes you just have those days. split-squad road trip for me tomorrow. wish i could have stayed here and watched or maybe hit against billy traber. he used to play with the indians and i lived with him during the off-season between '04-'05 in baton rouge with another indian brian tallet. Jorg, do you get star struck when you see celebrity players from other teams in person, or are you used to it by now? Also, how fast can you throw? (random question, but I'm curious!) somewhat. i won't lie - i like to get autographs. i was ecstatic 2 years ago when we went up to kissimmee to play the astros - my hometown team. how fast ?? not sure. mid 80s hopefully ? but throwing people out at second is all about having quick feet and a quick release Jorg, I remember hearing that last year the Marlins would use the Miami Heat's private jet when flying to road games. Is this true and what's it like? it's nice. first class leather seats all the way through, 2 on each side. tables in the back. full staff of flight attendants. we got a meal on the plane - something decent too, not the regular commercial flying food, more like first class stuff. it's a nice change from AAA because you check in and walk right up to the plane. don't have to worry about waiting at a gate, arrving early just so you don't miss the flight, etc.
March 13, 200620 yr good to hear that you got some PT today Jorg.... How was it today having Old Skipper Jack around the clubhouse...did he interact with anyone in particular while he was there??
March 13, 200620 yr Jorg :notworthy :notworthy Don't have any questions, but even as a non-Marlin fan it is always awesome reading your comments.

March 13, 200620 yr Jorg, as a hitter, do you think that the dimensions of a ballpark can psychologically affect the way you hit? Are you intimidated by so-called 'pitcher's parks', or do you approach all parks the same way? (Sorry I'm in a rush, I may not have explained my question that well!)
March 13, 200620 yr Author Jorg, as a hitter, do you think that the dimensions of a ballpark can psychologically affect the way you hit? Are you intimidated by so-called 'pitcher's parks', or do you approach all parks the same way? (Sorry I'm in a rush, I may not have explained my question that well!) don't worry, i understand what you mean. sometimes the way a park looks can be intimidating towards a hitter. but then again, if you're not a homerun hitter (like myself), then why try to hit a homerun ??? your approach has to be the same, just whatever happens after you hit the ball happens. ideally you would like to hit line drives all over the place, but in a game of inches (realistically smaller than that), that doesn't always happen
March 14, 200620 yr I know you remember every at bat you had in the majors last year. Who did you face each time...And on a related note, what pitch do you, as a hitter, hate the most?
March 14, 200620 yr Nice journal Jorg. I really don't have any questions to ask right now but I will try to think of one later... :thumbup
March 14, 200620 yr This is probably a silly question, but I was wondering about how this must feel. Do you have MLB 2K6? If so, does it feel weird, yet awesome, that you're in a video game? By the way, I'll be up at Ft. Lauderdale on the 25th. I hope to see you there.
March 14, 200620 yr Hey Jorg, Good to hear from you again, I really enjoy your journals. A couple of quick questions, are you going to be catching on Tue against Wash or on Thur against Dodgers. I'll be at those games and I'm looking forward to seeing all the new players. Also any idea whose throwing those days? Thanks and keep up the great insight with your journals.
March 14, 200620 yr I am not sure if this was asked before. What do you enjoy doing on your free time? I just recently read that you lived in a condo. Does most of the team (Ones who don't live down here) live in certain community or do they live anywhere they want? (I have always wondered this)
March 14, 200620 yr Author Do you have MLB 2K6? If so, does it feel weird, yet awesome, that you're in a video game? no i dont' have it. i might have to purchase it though to check it out. I know you remember every at bat you had in the majors last year. Who did you face each time...And on a related note, what pitch do you, as a hitter, hate the most? of course i remember my 4 at-bats. the first 3 were against byung yung kim (sp?). along with being nervous and facing someone throwing submarine, i was prettty much out before i went to the plate. hardest pitch to hit would be either a knuckle or a good cutter.

I'll be at those games and I'm looking forward to seeing all the new players. Also any idea whose throwing those days? Thanks and keep up the great insight with your journals. i'll be catching today (tuesday) up in melbourne vs. the nats. I am not sure if this was asked before. What do you enjoy doing on your free time? I just recently read that you lived in a condo. Does most of the team (Ones who don't live down here) live in certain community or do they live anywhere they want? (I have always wondered this) the team will put us up in a hotel and if you decide to live out they will give you some money to live out. usually not enough to cover the rent (especially down here in south florida where it's so expensive during prime season). my free time i like to play video games, hang out on the computer, work out, relax with friends and do whatever. not really outdoorsman like stokes, so i don't hunt or fish or things along those lines.
March 14, 200620 yr Its awesome having your insights on this forum. Question for you, who is the most hardcore nutrionist on the team? What does he eat for breakfast?
March 14, 200620 yr Jorg! There is no shortage of questions from this Jewban-- Does Miguel Cabrera flirt with everyone's girlfriend, or just mine? (Yes, it happened). :o Also, don't know if this has been asked before--but who do you hang out with most on the team?
March 15, 200620 yr Author Question for you, who is the most hardcore nutrionist on the team? What does he eat for breakfast? hmm...most people would probably say me. i'm usually the one eating the egg whites, oatmeal, banana. every now and then i'll splurge on some eggo waffles or french toast. lately everyone's been eating what i call the cepicky sandwich - basically a homemade egg mcmuffin with ham, like the kind you'd buy from mcdonalds. some people use bagels. they're quite tasty. and then again there's the supplements i've got in my locker. a huge 10 pound bag of whey protein that everyone calls dog food. some dextrose and maltodextrin. some r-ala and taurine pills. don't worry, all legal stuff approved by the FDA and MLB for use. during the off-season i'm big into body-building stuff, or body sculpting workouts as i like to call them. Also, don't know if this has been asked before--but who do you hang out with most on the team? well i live with chris aguila right now, so i guess you could say we hang out a lot. we'll go out to eat if we don't feel like cooking dinner. but tonight, we're grilling up a pork tenderloin and some thin sliced chicken breasts. along with a salad, baked potato, and green beans, i'll make one heck of a meal. last year i was closer with matt padgett and josh wilson (both my roommates) but they're no longer with us, so i've got to find someone new.
March 15, 200620 yr You live with Chris? Maybe you could get him on here for a one-time Q & A session--or hijack a portion of your threads
March 15, 200620 yr Jorg, Now that AJ and Beckett are gone.....and given what appears to be a tight ship run by Girardi... Is there anyone in the clubhouse who is likely to continue the shaving cream pie-in-the-face tradition the rookies get during their 1st TV interview?

March 15, 200620 yr Jorg The Marlins have yet to lose with Shadez in the lineup(10-0), while they have yet to win when he doesnt play(0-4) your thoughts....
March 15, 200620 yr No questions, but just wanted to say that keep these journals coming. We're all rooting for you to make the team and see you stay in the big leagues from now on. Keep up the good work!
March 15, 200620 yr Jorg, What's up with Jason Stokes out in LF, how does he look? If you had to say right now who are the Marlins starting OF's? Hope all is well.
