This is the first of three meetings between the A’s and Brewers this spring…the clubs meet again in Phoenix this Sunday and the A’s return to Maryvale March 11…the A’s won both meetings last spring after going 0-2-1 against the Brewers in 2009.

 

Brian and Rock can be heard via MLB.com's audio link.

Looking forward to following along as Wolfy makes his first spring appearance. I'm expecting good things from him coming off a nice 2nd half last year! Big fan of Randy

[MadScientist]

Well Randy, this is the time to get all your clunkers out of the way.

Parra injured.

[Patrick425]

That Para injury sounded serious.

[MadScientist]

For those of us without audio, what happened?

update: mid back tightness

 

sounds like pretty good news rather than arm trouble

[Invader3K]

Adam McCalvy reporting that it's "mid back tightness."

[Mudville9]

Sounds like Ferris might be able to play some SS. Man, that would make me very happy.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yes! Rivera with a homer. Keep it up Mike!

That's his only chance of being a big league regular imo.

[trwi7]

Anderson De La Rosa FTW!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Anderson De La Rosa with the 3-run walkoff HR. Never heard of him, but sweet!

[thablingster]

That ninth inning was great to listen to via the webcast, from the audible "Lets go Scooter!" chants to BA's walk-off call. Even in Spring Training a walk-off Brewers win is a great one. Kudos to you, Anderson.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Prince had an early day. I saw him walking to his car as the game was starting

[Funketown]

Anderson De La Rosa with the 3-run walkoff HR. Never heard of him, but sweet!

Ahh yes, why I love baseball. The guy hit only two homers in the past two seasons combined in the minors, and he takes Vinnie Chulk out of the park. I know it's only spring, but this is the kind of stuff you can't help but enjoy.

[jerichoholicninja]

The crowd in the bottom of the ninth was amazing. Lots of chanting and lots of cheering. The 750 or so Brewer fans that were still there sounded louder than a full Miller Park.

[Mass Haas]

Just prior to Scooter's stay-alive single and De La Rosa's blast, Brian Anderson said "Got a feeling something's good about to happen here".

i'm pulling up the archived audio now. i need to hear that inning.

Did they talk about Ferris at short at all? I'm guessing probably not other than saying he was in the game there; but just in case...
