PrintListen live at 12:05. (I just realized this rhymes like three minutes ago.) Mike Sweeney's making his spring debut, and Gaby Hernandez gets the start, and whenever those two clowns get together, there's bound to be some wackiness.

No problem.
Hey they just got some semblance of graphic up for the first time!
It's funny how Rizzs no longer compares him to A-Rod

I ran into Rizzs in the parking garage at Safeco
Accidentilly said “Hey! It’s Ron Fairly!” Sorry Rick, you’re just not that memorable.
His curveball reminds me a lot of Rich Hill's in terms of speed and vertical break.
Hill has a little more horizontal movement to his though.
This media player is flawed. When your progress bag gets to the end, it loops back to the beginning of where you came in.
Also, the game can loads of where you’re watching (Teej, you’re behind a little).
goddamn
MLB keeps crapping out every five seconds.
Error. Closed.
Aaaaaargfggghh
I'm in Europe
and so apparently the interweb has to suck…

any other
possible way to internet this game in audio at least?
I beg you…
Wow I'm watching baseball on MLB.tv
I’ve never done this before

Well, it turns out...
if you are operating with a slow line and an elderly laptop with a failing memory, it’s bad.

Jesus Kahn wake the fuck up

Morse/Balentein/Redman?
Yikes
Isn’t Redman a better CFer than Balentein?
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
oh OK
Prentice Redman just sounds like the name of a guy who would be good in CF- I haven’t looked at any numbers
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I really hope Mike Carp ends up being awesome
because then if we didn’t already win the Putz trade in foresight, we’ll have absolutely dominated that trade in hindsight
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
He's a perfectly acceptable major leaguer.
The Royals would be well served if they went forward with him as a 2B.

and Granderson
bases loaded, no outs and he got Wright, Youk and Granderson (weak popup, K, K)

We have about 5 guys competing for 1b, about 6 guys competing for the closer role.
Camp is full of average-ish bats, and knees constructed out of spare parts, spit and baling wire. And I haven’t been this optimistic about the M’s since ’02, weird.
The competition is what makes me optimistic
Say what you will about chemistry or whatever, but I have a hard time believing people don’t play harder and better when they don’t actually have to fight for their job. When we go into camp with 23 of 25 jobs locked up with only long reliever and 25th man as real competitions, I feel like that boosts egos and fucks up the team
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
one too many negatives in that first sentence
*Say what you will about chemistry or whatever, but I have a hard time believing people don’t play harder and better when they actually have to fight for their job.
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Wow! Nice DP.
I’m concerned I’m falling for the new management bait, I’m always wary of propaganda. Having 3 outfielders that can field their position helps, and like you say competition. Made me think of Cedeno when you said that.
Also
USA vs. Canada is currently on ESPN, I just discovered. They’re in the bottom 7th, USA is winning…
It's the economy, Manny!
Sophisticated projection systems believe him to be potentially the best pitcher of all time.
by JI on Mar 7, 2009 1:31 PM PST up reply actions
Needs more innings pitched.
Otherwise he has girl parts.
Look at those FIP numbers though
Holy buckets
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
190 IP of Aumont is better than 220 of anyone else.
by JI on Mar 7, 2009 1:36 PM PST up reply actions
Exactly
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
For some reason BBM won't let you pitch many innings if you get a lot of strikeouts.

I've been thinking of getting OOTP.
Can anyone attest to the satisfaction level of this game?
Make sure you have a lot of RAM
If you do that, and once you get used to the interface, it’s great
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Really?
I figured a relatively graphic-less game wouldn’t take a whole lot of expensive parts to run.
That's what I thought
I’m running XP on an early 2006 HP laptop with 1 gig of RAM and it was slow
If you activate all the options which you want to do for most realistic gameplay the thing is essentially a giant database and runs pretty slowly
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
That was so awesome it almost deserves its own thread
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Little punk as A Ball hitter, you think you can hit my shit?
You know who the FUCK I AM? I’m the Aumontaut, bitch!
He's almost certianly going to AA
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I like Frenchie the best
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Aumontster would be the spelling there, Aumonster the pronuncation.
That’s it, I’m going outside.
I'm thinking I like Aumontaut better
I’ve considered a Fanpost, but that violates one of the rules of nicknames.
1. You can’t nickname yourself
2. You can’t force one, doomed before it gets a chance.
Seems like the hard and fast rules of nicknames, but I might be missing something.
Baseball players need nicknames, and I'm sick of the -rod shit.
Especially with a high turnover on the M’s, we need to take these bitches over and make them our own.
at least I wouldn't waste his time in Lancaster
That’s a shitty place to pitch

Hey I live there
It’s also not that great to live in
Yay Corco!
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
bloop single
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Yay! a hit!
I just assumed he’d walked or been HBP

Hinestly I'd prefer a walk to a bloop single.
by Aaron Campeau on Mar 7, 2009 2:00 PM PST up reply actions
same
A weak bloop single to right field isn’t exactly something to write home about
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
But now we don't have to hear about him being hitless.
by msb on Mar 7, 2009 2:04 PM PST up reply actions
That's true
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Yay King Awesome
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Is Tui really faster than Beltre?
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
That was clutch
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Wow, Putz barely got the save, every ball except Bay's was hit hard.
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Fuck you LaHair
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I remember this part of ST
Where you try to explain to the slightly drunk guy next to you that it isn’t really representative of what you will likely see during the season because the pitcher will be in AA, and that outfielder in AAA or on the bench ….
Was Clement throwing to 2nd with the man on 3rd taking a walking lead?
Holy crap. Lucky the good defensive catcher label is just an excuse for catchers that can’t hit.
They just hit the point of the game where I lose track of players.
I just realized they put in a PR for Morse.
Is it wrong
That I completely tuned out the Ms game in favor of watching JJ struggle against Canadian batters?
It's the economy, Manny!
I wouldn't think so, this game is about as interesting as watching paint dry.
JJ wasn’t looking so hot eh? That would have been a good game to watch.
His strikes were vintage JJ
But I have the feeling the operative word there is “vintage”. And that makes me sad…
It's the economy, Manny!
LAHAIR!

Wow Lahair
This is starting to get kind of upsetting, I don’t want him to have a good spring and somehow make the team then revert to his normal self.
Good god
Why would I watch Transformers when I can play with them at my house?
by .Taylor on Mar 7, 2009 3:23 PM PST up reply actions
I'm pretty sure LaHair still has no chance
But after experiencing the trauma of the Bavasi-era there’s still that little voice in my head that can’t outright dismiss stupid moves.
