Those are two very ugly offenses and impressive sets of pitchers. Unless the wind is blowing out again I'd expect a low scoring game...
Half the Red Sox offense is in the WBC, the other half is somehow even more injured or sick than Rocco Baldelli.Originally Posted by *BaseClogger*

Lester is a tough matchup for the lefties -- Jones, Bruce, Francisco, Ward
He hit Bruce with a pitch(sorry, I'm sure it was an accident), then Varitek threw him out trying to steal.

I hope Micah pitches well today.

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
0-0 mid 1
If Dusty continues to run into this many outs during the regular season I'm going to have to be locked up...
Reds' 1st: Hopper F8. Jones K, looking. Bruce HBP. Bruce caught stealing, 2-4.
Red Sox' 1st: Ellsbury singles. Lowrie singles. Wilkerson K. Baldelli 4-6-3 DP.
He got out of 1st and 3rd, no outs, by K'ing Wilkerson and getting Baldelli to hit into a DP.I hope Micah pitches well today.

They sure have been caught stealing a lot in the first week of exhibition games, that's for sure.
That's not a bad start. Thanks for the info!

I was thinking the same thing. A big problem with last year's offense was not only did they have trouble getting on base, but even when they did they were routinely either picked off or caught stealing.
Early indications are this year's squad will be no different running the basepaths.
Owings throws a 1-2-3 second inning with 2 K's. No score after 2.
