I also think this is an excellent idea, especially during spring training. It isn't realistic to expect a broadcaster to be well informed about the other team's minor league system.
Anyway, who we playin' tomorrow? Ah, it's the Cardinals again.
Twins tie it up on the old standby no out first and third ground into a double play.
That's selfless play, getting the run in without even getting credit for an rbi.
Ricky matches the goose egg. That's as much detail as i'm going to look at.
(Though i was hoping for a "strike 'em out throw 'em out" that didn't quite happen.)

Yup, pretty cool. Balanced out Hicks getting picked off in the top half of the inning.
Florimon was in on that play. And another name leaped out at me while goin' over it: Lombardozzi.
(Now i'm going to watch that homerun video)
Sorry, yeah.
Parmelee is at first, and behind him in right field is Delmon Young.
Parmelee hit a long fly to right that announcers said would been out if the wind were just a bit kinder.
Boston just took a lead, eh?
Off of Pelfrey, though it involved a fielding error.
But he got Pedroia out.
First time for everything... At least everything that happens.
