A few thoughts on yesterday's 6-3 loss in Tampa against the Yankees since this could be the only game that I see in the spring and if I see more,it wont be many of them since it appears that FSN Pittsburgh does not have plans to show many games.
As typically takes place in Spring Training games,lots of arms to showcase and lots of subs as well.
Virgil Vasquez was bad in allowing the winning three run homer to Colin Curtis in the ninth,putting the front two men on base and only retiring one Yankee.
Yuck.
The other pitchers did reasonably well with the first four (Maholm,Ohlendorf,Bass and Carrasco) not allowing a hit.
Only three hits for the Bucs with just Erik Kratz's double for extra bases.
Not a good start,but not worth worrying about either.
Jose Tabata singled,but butchered a fly ball in right,but his most memorable chuckle of the day came on the Curtis HR which flew over his head.
One step to the wall and then began jogging back to the dugout.
Reputed glove slickster Argenis Diaz missed a routine grounder in the game.
When your glove is your best tool,consider a warning sign raised...
Pedro Alvarez whiffed in his only at bat,while Jeff Clement and Gorkys Hernandez went 0 for 2 in the prospect roundup.
All for now.Will try to be back later with a feature,time permitting.
