The pitching lines were ravaged by some ragged fielding which was too much for the hitters to overcome. Key Lines:
Jimmy Rollins 2B- 0 for 3. BA= .200. Rollins played 2B and handled several chances including a nice toss to the SS to start a GIDP.
CJ Hinojosa 2B- 1 for 2, 2B. BA= .167. CJ had a couple of errors. Not sure how much 2B he's played in the past.
Nick Hundley C- 2 for 4. BA= .333. Hundley made couple of throwing errors.
Orlando Calixte RF- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(1). BA= .273. Calixte shows off his versatility, both at the plate and in the field. Darkhorse to make the Opening Day Roster.
Steven Duggar CF- 2 for 2, 2 BB, SB(1). BA= .375. Great day at the plate that's getting some national attention but made 2 fielding errors that seemed to contribute to Matt Moore's poor stat line.
Matt Moore LHP- 2.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 2 K. ERA= 11.25. I'm a little confused because the beat writeup said that Duggar's errors contributed to the runs given up here, but the are all officially earned. Still in the get-your-work in stage of spring training.
Mark Melancon RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00. Melancon is getting his work in and not allowing any baserunners.
Albert Suarez RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00. With bullpen candidates giving up runs in bushels, does Suarez have a shot at a roster spot?
Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00. A roster spot is Law's to lose.

Rollins: One of the beat writers says Rollins is playing well enough in a utility role around the infield that he's got a good shot at making the bench. I can't remember which one. Maybe Pavs. But thought I'd bring it up, especially since I really thought it was pointless signing when it happened and I never bury my errors.
ReplyDeleteDugger: I said something nice about his fielding. Goes out and commits two errors. Not gonna say another nice word... ;)
Hundley: One of his throwing errors was to gun down a runner stealing. But Crawford didn't cover the bag. Unfortunately, baseball penalizes the thrower, not the receiver.
