Good to see Ryan Freel get the leadoff spot. But he is starting for the day-to -day Kearns. We have to hope this all gets started off on the right foot. freel is going to have to set the stage early with Womack screwing it all up. I would also love to see EdE have a huge game as well. These are the key looks that I will be after today.

[redsrbetter]

Kozlowski gets nailed early. HR by the leadoff hitting Pudge Rodriguez.

[DirtyKash]

Pudge batting leadoff? Gotta love spring training. Get him an at-bat and get him outta there.

[redsrbetter]

Well he is certainly making the most of his leadoff role.

[redsrbetter]

We are in the 2nd inning. I am not sure of the score but I think it is 3-0. Pudge has a few RBIs. Womack got caught stealing and made an error. EdE and Pena both Kd in the second. Moving on to the third and hopefully I can give some better PBP for a bit.

[redsrbetter]

Cruz comes on to leadoff the third inning with a walk. A good AB.

[DirtyKash]

Score is 4-0, btw.

[redsrbetter]

Quentin McCracken comes on with a basehit into RF! 2 on with no outs. Dane Sardinha coming up. Lets get on the board here.

[redsrbetter]

Sardinha pops out to SS. Freel is up. Lets go Ryan!

Thanks for the score DK!

[redsrbetter]

Freel pops out to 3B. Womack up and I am looking for a K.

[redsrbetter]

Germano and Gosling will be pitching for tomorrow's games. I am interested in seeing what these guys can do.

[redsrbetter]

Womack goes full then flies out to CF. Not a bad AB, but he couldn't get the runners in. Then again, Freel didn't help the cause either.

[redsrbetter]

Kozlowski comes out after giving up 4 runs and 3 hits. Lizard steps on the mound...

[redsrbetter]

Lizard gets a quick two outs and then Dmitri Young steps in. He gets a basehit to LF.
