Wind is a bit of an issue today.

Top of 3rd - Paulino pitching.  2 quick outs. 
Walked Jiminez, who hit a bomb off him earlier (4th walk for Paulino).
Belliard hits an opposite field 2-run shot (maybe a tad wind-aided).
Flores grounds out to 3rd.

Nats 5, Astros 4 - bottom of 3rd

Results may not matter in Spring Training, but I think we're seeing a lot of the style of game we can expect this year.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Harris: b, ss, b (Belliard stole 2B), s, b (fastball just off the plate), b - walked.  1 out, runners on 1B and 2B.
Lopez: b, b, s, b, grounded into McLemore.  Runners on 2nd & 3rd.  Nice knockdown by Mc.
Millege: cs, b (inside corner, just missed), b (high), b (inside, just missed), b (inside) - walked bases loaded.
Zimmerman: s, playable ball to Sutton (in front of Manzella) that gets through to left field.  2 runs score.  Error on Sutton I'd guess, but haven't heard.

Iorg LF;
Castillo C;

Gervacio still pitching.

Kearns pops up to Ausmus at 1B.
Whitney: s, cs, b (just missed), dribbler 5 feet down 1st base line, stayed on chalk, Whitney just stood there.  2 outs.

Thats with Wandy (apparently) looking pretty good as well.  McLemore had troubles today, but for what its worth Gervacio looked good.

Wright seems to be getting a heads up on the other left handers. Clean line score today where as McLemore struggles again finding the plate.

I think he has a legit shot to be the left in the pen.

Towles Update

Quote from: OregonStrosFan on March 08, 2008, 02:13:02 pm
ATL Note: Towles left game early with strained right hamstring.

Update on Towles

Quote
J.R. Towles left the Astros' game with the Braves at the Disney complex on Saturday with a strained right hamstring and is currently listed as day-to-day.  The catcher suffered the injury when he accelerated after seeing second baseman J.C. Holt bobble a grounder in the sixth inning.

Quote
Towles said he didn't feel any sort of pop when the injury first occurred. Comparing it to a right hamstring injury he had two years ago in Class A Lexington, the catcher said this one wasn't as bad.  Towles hopes this injury will sideline him for only a short time. "I think it will be just a couple of days, no more than four or five days," he said. "I don't know. They might try to take it easy on me, but I want to get back out there as quick as possible, that's for sure."
