If you want to get into GameZone posting shape, go ahead and use the GZ during the Grapefruit League games to do so. PBP is usually handled by one person (designated early by said person... in other words, call dibs on it! Or shotgun... or whatever!).

The others can participate in in-game commentary in other threads, but make sure you don't override the PBP. Use the title area as much as possible to give the score. Failure to give the score and details in either the subject line or the body of the text while doing the PBP will get you the tag of "Milo"-ing the GZ. Not good.

Have fun learning if you're new to this GZ, watch and learn from the veterans and PLAY BALL!

Actually, my first thought was "Oh, this sounds so good." (meaning to hear baseball), then I thought, "Oh God, its Milo."

I'm sorry, is this EXHIBITION GAME actually not being broadcast FREE in some form on the internets?

Only MLB, man. Only MLB.

Williams got Hafner on 3 pitches, 2 slow ones and he took a "fastball" right down the middle. Look for him to go another inning. Milo is focused. I only missed 3 of Williams pitches and none of Westbrooks. No slap and tickle in the booth neither.

Everett hits a shot (Milo thought it got through, but NOOOOOOOOO), Barfield throws late, safe at 1st Ensberg scores.

Jimerson hits a comebacker to the mound, out at 1st.

I gotta go teach chemistry, but I can follow online in class if someone else can do pbp, I would definitely appreciate it.

Alkie · « **Reply #11 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:29:59 pm »

Thank you VERY much.

The gift of Milo and Dolan.

Alkie · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:37:38 pm »

Does anyone else sort of feel like Milo is giving a little more detail than usual? Maybe it's just been a while since I heard him.

Alkie · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:39:22 pm »

I missed most of the inning, but we gave up more runs than we scored.

Alkie · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:49:37 pm »

Bottom of the 3rd beginning, Brian "Wisdom" Moehler comes in. Your 4th starter this year, ladies and gentlemen.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:53:09 pm »

Score, anyone? (As in what is the score, not do you want to score.)

Alkie · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:54:48 pm »

Not Us 2-1.

matadorph · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:58:55 pm »

3-run HR for Victor Martinez, Indians lead 5-1.

Moeler, not doing much for his cause. Matadorph, please bring back your avatar.

Hi everybody... Harry Caray here...

We join the action in the top of the 5th, Quintero flies out to right field with a runner on first for the 2nd out. Burke headed to the plate.

Burke takes a ball, takes a strike, checkswing strike 2.

1-2 the count now, Down swinging, Burke.

Harry Caray · « **Reply #26 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:32:56 pm »

Bruntlett is playing first, Conrad is in the game somewhere... 3rd I think.

Ransom at short. Hidlago in right.

Martinez smacks a ball to right field for a base hit to move to 3 for 3 on the day.

Harry Caray · « **Reply #30 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:36:27 pm »

Ball 1, low.
Ripped through the left side for a base hit. Ransom dove but came up empty.

Runners at first and 2nd now.

Harry Caray · « **Reply #34 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:41:42 pm »

Lots of changes for the Tribe, and I'm not getting in to it.
Good news is, Martinez is out of the game.

Infield popup. 2nd baseman is under it. 1 down.

Harry Caray · « **Reply #35 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:43:25 pm »

Fouled down the RF line.
Ball low.
"Hunter Pence. P-E-N-C-E." Thanks Milo
Chases one in the dirt.

And Milo missed a strike at some point.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #36 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:43:29 pm »

Who gave up the homer?

Harry Caray · « **Reply #37 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:46:10 pm »

Foul ball down the 1B line.
Maybe a strike, maybe a ball... Not sure.
Another pitch missed, I heard the pop, but no mention.
Ball in the dirt. No clue what the count is.
Ball again. No mention of the count.
I think Munson walked.

Harry Caray · « **Reply #38 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:46:35 pm »

Pops to shallow left. SS under it. Inning over.

Harry Caray · « **Reply #39 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:48:54 pm »

Someone we took rule 5. Maybe Lincoln Holzkom or whatever?

Harry Caray · « **Reply #43 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:50:24 pm »

Foul ball down the RF line.
Another foul ball.
Bruntlett fields and flips to LH. 1 down.

Foul ball, strike one.
Hot shot, foul again down the RF line.

Looping base hit to left.
Run scores.

I give up for the day. This is ugly.

8-1.

John Anderson is in left, by the way.

Froback · « **Reply #48 on:** March 01, 2007, 04:05:40 pm »

Holdzkolm finally getting pulled after giving up 5 runs, in just 1/3 of an inning I think. Some bad luck, but just no command being the biggest issue.

Froback · « **Reply #49 on:** March 01, 2007, 05:05:11 pm »

For those that care, here is the box score
