Grady And Terry, Sittin' In A Tree
Actually, Grady Little and Terry Francona once were roommates when both were working in the inaugural season of the Arizona Fall League. Who knew?The Dodgers meet the Red Sox today in spring training.
Dodgers 9, Orioles 3
Jeff Kent and Eric Gagné made their spring training debuts yesterday as the Dodgers whupped the O's, 9-3. Gagné pitched a perfect frame, getting two groundball outs and a flyball to the warning track, all on five pitches."I felt great," said Gagne, who was clocked at a high of 92 mph. "I'm pain free. I feel comfortable with my mechanics. I'll add a couple more miles per hour. I was focusing on strikes, keeping the ball down and controlling my emotions. I was excited. It's good to go out there and see how hitters react."Jeff Kent had a pair of singles in the game. Cody Ross, Bill Mueller, Sandy Alomar, Jr., and Joel Guzman all had home runs....
"I'm mainly trying to get my rhythm back," he said. "I missed a couple spots and that's why they hit the ball pretty hard. I can tell when I miss, because they hit the ball pretty hard. If I throw 91 or 92 [mph] and I bounce back, I'm fine with that. The ball was coming out of my hand crisp."
Angels 5, White Sox 2
Sure, it's only spring training, but didn't that feel good? Figgy went yard with a wind assist, Nick Gorneault went 2-2, Kendry Morales went 2-3 with a walk, and Vlad was 1-2.Birthdays
