But, Junior?! It's Junior!

Aren’t we supposed to be excited?!?

Meh.

I can’t wait for some real baseball. To be honest, I’m getting more joy out of the WBC right now. Don’t get me wrong; I’m enjoying certain aspects of ST. I’m just ready for lineups to be set and some real competitive baseball to be played.

You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen.

I am pretty sure I agree with this

ST is fine and all, but I’m ready for the train to leave the station…

the offseason sucks

Wladdy is crushing the ball...

Too bad he’s in a position similar to LaHair/Morse only Wladdy actually has more value in LF than those 2.

You got slurved bitch.

GFD

I missed the first 3 batters of the top of the first (and live boxscore isn’t so much live). Who was on when Wlad went deep?

by appleshampoo on Mar 8, 2009 1:30 PM PDT reply actions  

So, guess I missed all the excitement.

Who are they playing? Who was pitching for the other team?

And a pinch runner?

What’s up with that?

haha

The call of Griffey running to the clubhouse was pretty funny.

Ruh rohs

Talking about where to play Griffey. Apparently he wants to play 8-10 games in CF?

by appleshampoo on Mar 8, 2009 2:57 PM PDT reply actions  

Is there a Gameday link to the game anywhere, or is the only available resource the box score?

Why would I watch Transformers when I can play with them at my house?

I was mlb.com was more straightforward.

They don't want you to see Gameday right now.

It’s always wonky during Spring Training, so they don’t really advertise the link. And yet they don’t lock it down…I guess they want the determined people to find it so they get some traffic to work out the bugs, or something.

by appleshampoo on Mar 8, 2009 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

*Gasp!*

We’re losing our lead! This game is a must-win!

Huh.

Kid pitching for the DBacks now is the son of Mark Schlereth, former O-Lineman for the Broncos.

Our version of the Josh Fields pick.

Griffey being Griffey
“I told Don I was going to hit a single, and I was just going to keep running right-field line if I had to beat it out,‘’ Griffey said. "I hit a single, I turned around, looked at him, saw someone coming out, and gave him a little wave and ran on in. that’s all.”

11-7 M's

Score tracking is massively slow today.

i was happy that it was “tied”

If this was a real game, I'd be freaking out

But since it’s not, I won’t, because that would be uncool…
Also, I’m lying – say what you want about bunts, that was crazy.

Wait

Who got hit?

Shelton has been killing it in ST. Shouldn't be much debate over our platoon at

1B… only question is whether Wak and company feel the need to keep Sweeney around is some capacity given how we gotta read an article every day about how swell of a guy he is, and how he’s a great leader… Plus he seems to be Griffey’s best bud..

Is it conceivable that they carry Shelton, Balentien, Clement, Cedeno, and Sweeney on the bench?

by Rudy4three on Mar 8, 2009 4:35 PM PDT reply actions  

Shelton makes Sweeney redundant.

You’d want a speed guy in there somewhere, like Corona.

Yea i know. Just wonder if a team that knows it's not gonna contend, and has answered a million questions

about the clubhouse this offseason. Would sacrifice that 25th man on the roster for a guy like Sweeney who has pretty much taken a leadership role with the team.

by Rudy4three on Mar 8, 2009 7:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

An article the other day told the anecdote of Sweeney watching a pitcher with the other guys.

His turn to step to the plate, he turns and asks the guys around him what pitches the pitcher throws and none of them knew. They were just watching, not really thinking. It. Blew. My. Mind. That story literally derailed everything I’ve ever thought about baseball players and how they go about their business, I’m still having trouble processing that story.

by Kermit. on Mar 8, 2009 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

Bavasi would have kept them both.

You’re right about Corona. You gotta have a pinch runner somewhere.
