I believe you are in error good sir
If a woman were to play in a major league baseball game I doubt we would just now be learning as it would likely be front page news, and a lively topic for discussion.
Not an "offical" female.
But, some reports had it that the player was a whussy that cried like a girl all the time.
Give Eric another chance
So he isnt talkative with the media, and he was injured last year. That doesnt mean he can’t contribute well this year. Its not his fault the Ms traded too much to get him.
His interview on KJR the other day was great.
You must be new here
We are actually Bedard fans here, we just like to get a bit sarcastic with the way the media and more casual fans view him.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Yeah, I have nothing but high hopes for the guy.
I hope he has a career year with the M’s this year!

Thanks.
I’ve been having a rough time finding these links this year.
They usually don't show up on the front page
until the end of ST.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Is it just me
Or is it impossible to scroll past the top of any inning? I can’t tell if this is a standard Gameday ST bug, or if my Linux+Firefox combo is causing problems.

Here's some Bedard on the radio.
He almost sounds like he might be a normal human being.

Wait was that really a 3 pitch first inning or is gameday crazy?
by Graham MacAree on Feb 27, 2009 12:17 PM PST reply actions
Gameday for Spring Training has only been put down the exact number of pitches to signify something
1 for contact, 3 for a strikeout, and 4 for a walk.
There are no good individual basketball statistics.
54!
Wait, how was the ball deflected from Matt Tuiasopopo over to Jose Lopez?
Did he just punt it to second or something ridiculous?

So, if this years motto is "a new day, a new way"
and they have Jay & Gar in, to do an ad …
will the flavor of the ad be “get off my lawn, ya young punks”?
Funny!
It would be great if they were yelling at Clement and Felix. (Trying to think of the youngest guys on the team.)
Agreed.
He was the first player in the majors younger than me.
I'm 26
and I’m not even sure when I want to start having kids.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
I know, I turn 31 next Saturday.
I feel like I am maybe 5 years away from being in a good place to have kids.
I assume that means they announced the arrival of their son?
I thought he was due later in the month
Cedeno is sure getting a lot of chances.
I hope he is impressing Wakamatsu. I would love to see him starting opening day.
Weird to be playing the Dodgers in spring training
thought they’d be in Vero Beach forever, but AZ makes much more sense geographically
Tui seems to have come to camp prepared
2 triples and now a double for the spring…
I don't know... if you're listening, help a brother out.
Gamecast will tell me what happened in about a half hour.

I certainly hope this isn't true because as much as I'd like winning baseball here in Seattle the continuing exploitation and objectification of women is not something I want my favorite baseball team associated with.

The point is that the sex trade is reprehensible and signing a player in any way involved makes me question the direction of the new front office.

If you are that upset perhaps we should trade him for another outfielder
perhaps Elijah Dukes? Washing has many outfielders from which to choose
by JI on Feb 27, 2009 1:35 PM PST up reply actions
I would hope these players are washing regularly.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
I saw him pitch in Mt. Vernon at the field on Cleveland Street.
Estes was ok, but what I remember from that game is when someone got picked off first. He attempted to dive back to the bag, but just belly-flopped straight down.
Yes

“productive outs are as good as productive hits”
For those who aren't listening:
Blengino said the out was under-rated and too often they were given away for silly reasons. Dave interpreted this as “yeah, you’ve gotta make your outs productive.” when Blengino was (seemingly) saying the sac bunt and such are bad moves.

Yeah he was preaching OBP and defense without saying so.

Hey, it's Erick Threets...
Used to have the fastest FB in the minors, I believe.
He’s another guy that I’m just surprised isn’t better than he is.
The Rainiers are kicking the Dodgers asses.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
Huh... Gameday'll get to that in an hour or so.
Damn, the guy’s looking all right. Bodes well for the R’s this year.
Yep, that works.
Oh hey, he hit the HR off his old teammate… how about that.
Travis Chick is a damn good teammate – gave up another shot to another ex-teammate. Wow.
Does anyone else hear the cell phone that keeps ringing in the broadcast booth?
Or am I going crazy?
I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.
Hmmmm
I can get game updates from Baker’s blog faster than from Gameday or the live Boxscore. Also, good golly. we’re clobbering them. The ERA column for the Padres is funny.
Poor Greg Miller
from #8 prospect in all of baseball to getting shelled by the likes of Callix Crabbe and Mike Carp in garbage time of a spring training game. TINSTAAPP isn’t exactly true, but it was invented with the likes of Miller in mind.
At this point you've got to go for the 'most runs in ST game' record.

I would have settled for a splashing animated gif
but that will do nicely.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Feb 27, 2009 3:01 PM PST up reply actions
I don't know what that means
I haven’t played Magic since I was about 8 and I hadn’t heard of a Magikarp till I saw Slurvey’s comment.
Magikarp is a pokemon.
But then again almost all card games were based of Magic.
BOOYA! You got Slurved!
The numbers on the side are damage attacks do. The 10X means it's 10 damage times something.
And with that, I’m done with this conversation. >_>
There are no good individual basketball statistics.
54!

LL is a populous blog and so our defense needs are great.
by Aaron Campeau on Feb 27, 2009 3:57 PM PST up reply actions
More or less great if LL was actually a basketball team and we were up 3 points with 2.1 seconds left.
Soriano into deep right, Ichiro back, at the wall...Yankees win!

Mike Carp
It’s an irrelvant spring game, but I like to see Mike Carp swinging the bat well. Lefty with patience and a bit of power…
WOW
Holy crap, what happened!
And why couldnt we save all this for when it counts! Hehe.
So, based on our pythagorean win %age from these two spring trianing games, we’re goign to win over 100 games this year. World Series here we come! (And no mentioning the small sample size) :P
I'm, hoping there are more awesome additions like Gameday 3D.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
It was in 3-D last year...
Just about half way through the season.

Luckily for the Dodgers
none of these guys getting teed off on are expected to be contributors.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Sounds like I missed quite a game

ST question.
So we all know that Spring Training stats are worth very little. So what do you look for in Spring Training? I’m guessing that the coaches are looking for very specific things, like hitting/pitching mechanics, defensive footwork, baserunning funtamentals etc. What should we as fans look for since we can’t always see those kinds of things? 1 on 1 matchups seem like they are important. E.g. if Mike Morse is batting .500 it’s not really notable since he’s facing a lot of scrubs, but if he had several quality ABs against actual good starting pitchers, it might be worth noting.
/brain dump
Luis Valbuena is playing SS right now.
Not sure if it’s just a ST thing, but if Cleveland breaks camp with Peralta at 3B, DeRosa at 2B, and Valbuena at SS, that could be a fun defense to watch.

Asdrubal Cabrera's ahead of valbuena at SS for the Indians
But yes, that could be a fun defense to watch.
Justin Leone took Scott Baker deep today
… it’s like old times.
