Two games for the price of one!
The Brewers will be split-squading it today, playing both the Rockies (in Tucson) and Giants (in Maryvale).
Randy Wolf (NR) will be starting for the Brewers against the Giants, he will be facing RHP Kevin Pucetas (NR).
Lefty Chris Narveson (NR) will be facing RHP Tim Redding (NR) for the Rockies in Tucson.
Josh Prince, Brett Lawrie, Lee Haydel, Norris Hopper, Mike Jones, Juan Sandoval, and Chris Waters will be making the jump from the minor league camp for the Brewers today. They will be the dudes with the uniform numbers greater than 89.
Most of the starters for the Brewers will be playing in Maryvale against the Giants. Both games are available on MLB Gameday Audio

on my way to the tucson game
Anyone have a lineup for the crew there?
by Jeo on Mar 6, 2010 1:39 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Been searching for a while now, can't find one.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
just informed the van full of my family
That we won’t be seeing people they know. But we are in arizona so they are not too upset.
Twins fan sister and her bf are hoping to see gomez
I am hoping to see lawrie for the first time
by Jeo on Mar 6, 2010 1:46 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Hmmm...
I guess it’s possible you’ll see Gomez, but it’s also possible he’ll get a day off after two straight days in.
As for Lawrie, since he’s a minor league camper I’d expect him to be in Phoenix.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Hey look, a lineup!
Counsell 3B
Stern LF
Gomez CF
Gerut RF
Wilson 1B
Kottaras C
Inglett 2B
Narveson P
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Actually
Luis Cruz is hitting eighth and playing shortstop. The Brewers aren’t really going with the eight-man lineup I posted above.
Since Counsell and Cruz are both in Tucson, that must mean Josh Prince will be backing up Escobar in Phoenix today.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Pucetas
Spent 2009 in Fresno, where he posted a 5.04 ERA in 159 innings. Needless to say, he’s likely not the best pitcher the Giants could have sent to Maryvale.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Giants are also SS today

Even so
I doubt Pucetas is in the top ten candidates for their rotation.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
from all indications
he is, but not by much. First four spots are taken (Lincecum, Cain, Zito, Sanchez) and the 5th is either Bumgarner or Wellemeyer, and then there’s Martinez, Pucetas, and some other guy who I forget. But, yeah, Wellemeyer will probably make the rotation before he does.

I'm not sure what to make of the fact that Steffan Wilson and Adam Stern, who have no chance to make the team, are hitting ahead of Kottaras and Inglett.

I've occasionally wondered about the economic impact of teams leaving Tucson.
Now that there’s only two teams there, fans have limited opportunity to witness Cactus League baseball.

He has “moxie.”

Make that 3-0
Also, Gerut’s hit has been changed to an error.

Continuing inning
Steffan Wilson hits into fielders’ choice, Gerut out at 2nd, Gomez scores.
Kottaras GIDP.

Bottom 3rd in Tucson
Chuck Lofgren in to pitch
Phillips grounds out.
Holcomb grounds out.

@Haudricourt: Louisville going to send out Freedom Hall by beating the No. 1 team in the country. Has to be some karma involved there.

Shruggity
He must be contagious
Rockies announcers are complaining about the weather.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Top 4th in Tucson

Cruz GIDP (his second today).
Brett Lawrie (pinch hitting for Lofgren) tripled to the wall in right.
Counsell walked on four straight.
Stern grounded out.
No runs on a hit and two walks.
Other notes:
Rockies announcers calling Luis Cruz “a good sized young man,” ruining my mental image of him.
They also didn’t do much homework. They don’t know who Lawrie is.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Bottom half
Amaury Rivas in to pitch, Lawrie stays in at 2nd, Inglett to 3rd, Counsell done for the day.

Crushed one to the wall, the left fielder had it in his glove but couldn’t hold on as he hit the wall
by Jeo on Mar 6, 2010 3:09 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Was it left?
Rockies announcers said Spillborghs fielded it, and he’s playing right, so I assumed it was there.

Uecker kept praising the Edmonds catch
which (despite it being a small sample) makes me wonder if I’m going to have to overcome my natural aversion to Edmonds.
You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.
Checking the box score, he has an outfield assist too.

Anyone want to make the case that this isn't a good thing?
Bill and Brian argued yesterday that his swing will get too big if he hits some spring training home runs.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I'll make the case that him swinging for the fences is a bad thing...
.. but hitting home runs and squaring up on a ball you can square up on is never a bad thing.
Shruggity
He should save all those homers for the regular season!
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Alcides!
deep to left center!

On Pucetas' chances in the rotation
Via Henry Schulman’s Twitter: “Kevin Pucetas pitches three shutout innings in split-squad game at Brewers. Meanwhile, Joe Martinez gets whacked in four-run inning here.”
Top 6th in Tucson
Michael McKenry in to catch, Chris Nelson at 2nd, Miller in LF, and Edgmer Escalona pitching. That’s almost as good as Al Albuquerque.

Nothing on one hit, still 6-2 Brewers.

Periard in to pitch, Hopper stays in the game in center. Iribarren in at third, Inglett moves to right. Gerut and Gomez are done.

Murray faced six batters, and threw just two first pitch strikes. Both first pitch strikes were retired, while all four first pitch balls reached. He fell behind 3-0 to Pacheco, 2-0 to Garner and 1-0 to Gomez before getting a first pitch strike to Miller. He then fell behind Nelson 1-0, and threw a first pitch strike to McKenry.

first spring training game
Great expirience. Was great to see lawrie and gogo for the first time. Cc as a god is always fun to watch. Really thinking about making an actual spring training trip in the next few years.
As far as game commentary, the rockies announcer never really told me who was pitching. Lawrie looked decent at 2nd and his bat is fun to watch (I am no scout or anything close) gogo is fast!(duh)
