Spring Training Game 2: CC returns

by Travis G on Mar 4, 2010 12:00 PM EST in Game Threads

We'll get our first look at the big man this afternoon. Game time is 1:05 - it apparently won't be televised until 7 p.m. on MLB Network.

(UPDATE 2:20 p.m. - Nick Johnson was scratched due to a 'stiff lower back.' Wow. It took all of one game for NJ to get hurt. Is that more or less than expected?... In fairness, he says he would have played if this was the regular season.)

Post game notes -

A strong pitching performance from nearly every pitcher in the game (on both teams). Sabathia, McAllister, Melancon, Nova and Logan combined for 6.1 scoreless innings.

Yankee batters had eight hits, but they were all singles. The only regular to get a hit was Cano, while Jamie Hoffmann and Jesus Montero chipped in with a hit apiece.

The replay of the game is scheduled for 7 p.m. on MLB Network.

Johnson is hurt already?

Wow. I would have thought a month at least before he gets himself hurt.

At least it’s not serious. But if he gets a stiff back after playing one game (and he didn’t even play the whole game), then you have to be a little scared about how he’ll do playing a full season.

so weak that we cant watch it live...

either way im gonna watch the game….

as for NJ, i can only hope that Girardi is being SUPER cautious and might as well give him the day off because the game really means nothing.. I just hope this doesn’t progress and happen during the regular season…

We all knew this was gonna happen sooner or later

Cash might as well begin referring to plan B, if he has one. This might change the way they configure the roster going into the season. Maybe Thames and/or Montero will have an opportunity to get a little more playing time. I never like the signing of Johnson because this was bound to occur.
