st 19 | CANCELLED due to desert rain



This was only about the 3rd or 4th game slated to be televised so far this spring and, the first one that I was going to be able to watch the entire broadcast.







No box score (since none of the stats will count) but, here are some of the happenings...
  • Hector Noesi went 4IP - 4H - 2ER - 2BB - 1 K and threw 60 pitches, 33 for strikes.  He tossed a couple of wild pitches (that resulted in one run) and had just given up back-to-back singles when the game was called
  • Kyle Seager hit his 3rd homer of the spring to tie the game with his 6th and 7th RBI of the "no count" variety
  • Figgy had two hits and an RBI that gave the M's the lead (again, they do't count)

Prior to the game, Eric Wedge commented on... 
  • Brendon Ryan - doing better but still nursing a sore leg, gotta find a way to get him to stay healthy
  • Cuts coming - some may come down to the final day ... can take 30 players to Japan
  • Beavan and Ramirez - both making VERY strong bids in the rotation competition
  • And, don't discount the importance of a long reliever 

Jack Z was interviewed during the game..
  • Hector Noesi a very important piece of the trade
  • Ramirez has been on the radar for awhile
  • Felix will pitch two of the "three openers" as the rotation ebbs and flows with the crazy schedule
  • Emphasized player attitude/work ethic and that NOBODY is guaranteed anything - so, they better come ready to play - especially, for a manager like Eric Wedge
