It was an interesting game for me, as it was on the radio, which is always good, but I was also walking around the Dallas Arboretum with my wife. We were taking pictures out there with a new digital camera we got for her, and I had a portable radio with me listening to the game while we walked around. For the record, I listened with only one earbud in, so I could still hear her. :)
The kind of game you never saw much of from Texas, let alone in spring, when offense is even higher than anywhere else. A rather well pitched game on both sides. Problem was that Seattle pitched just a little bit better. Pitching totally dominated this game, and there’s not a whole lot else to add for this one. We’ve had a lot of good pitching the last few games, I hope it’s not a spring training fluke.
