2/28: Open Game Thread

Listen live at 12:05. Lineups from Baker. Adrian Beltre was told by Jack Zduriencik that he will not be participating in this year's WBC, the timing of which is - let's face it, it sucks, and it takes a lot away from the tournament. This is just one example of why. Although in this particular case I'm selfishly pleased, and I think that's pretty important, because you always gotta look out for number one. aaaaand Matthew beat me

Might as well

Get the Gameday link out of the way.

Damn it 1-0 San Fran...
Oh, boy

BOOOOFFALO…

"Carlos Silva allowed two basrunners an inning last year"

But at least he’s lost about 30 pounds.

Good to see he's consistent...
Whoops now he's allowed three baserunners.
Ahh so it wasn't the fat that made him suck
2008 is here again.
I still dislike Carlos Silva
Silva vs. Zito

Epic.

Yes, epic battle of the not-quite-so-overwieght-sorta-was vs. the hippyish-has-been.

Should be fun.

Someone

needs a good neck-grabbing…

Can't wait for Wakamatsu's input on Silva's performance.
Does he have to be on the team?
So far, it should be something like "Well, he pretty much sucked."

I’m just going off what I see on the computer, though. Maybe I’m missing something in the live performance.

Did the Giants really swing and make contact at every first pitch of Silva's?

Or is that Gameday just not being fully functional?

I think Gameday is just recording hits and strikeouts at this point.
Okay, good.

Because it almost seems like Silva is pitching BP.

BE BETTER AT BASEBALL JEFF
Nice AB by Gutierrez

I’d be more impressed if it wasn’t against Zito.

Let's see if Carp can keep it up.
Did he even take the bat off his shoulder?
Great

Batista is in to ass some things up….

Please don't make Batista our closer
No doubt

The very concept is absolutely terrifying…

Adam Jones doesn't get to that
Ken Griffey 4 LF
I really wish the broadcast team would stop hinting at Griffey in the OF
They will do that until the last out of the last game of the season.
At that point they'll begin speculating about giving him a contract extension.
I turn on the game just in time to hear Chavez make a great play in left field.

Man is that new and fun.

Even if Endy is replacement with the bat, I'll still love his defense.

Anything above replacement is bonus.

Defense wins meaningless baseball
Jose Lopez is slow.
Someone better go fix their car
Prentice Redman at 3B? Wuh?

I’m glad Wlad got his visa, by the way.

The boxscore changed it to Tui at 3B and Redman at CF

mistake or did they change?

Wow John Miller and Dave Niehaus in the same booth.
And Rick Rizzs.
So why is the MLB.com audio feed just the talk radio portion of KIRO?

Luckily it’s just spring training…. :o

They probably haven't figured out that the spring training games are on 97.3 FM

Instead of 710 KIRO

Isn't it the other way around?
For me it's on 97.3, and 710 is just talk
Stephen Kahn in to blow the tie!
I don't know where he came from,

but I kinda want him to go back there…

Chris Woodward, eh?
Woooooooooooooooooodward
Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
With Woodward, Crabbe, and a healthy Prentice Redman, we will be unstoppable in '09
Another happy note...

Joba Chamberlain just got lit up for two runs. I hate that guy.

He was apparently throwing in the high 80s/low 90s

Wonder if he’s hurt or just taking it easy?

Ugh

Lahair replaces Carp hitting, then strikes out

Potential 1B platoon in '10?
Me thinks so.
Rather just have Carp
They're both lefties...
Fine.

Johjima/LaHair platoon in ’10.

LaHair will be fortunate to be in the M's organization by the end of Spring training.

Jack Z has no emotional attachment to him or a player of his talent.

Larry LaRue
Carlos Silva lost weight, did the work, has been a good spring training teammate – and none of that mattered to a few folks watching him pitch today.

Two innings, five hits, two runs. One home run allowed, twenty-six pitches thrown.

And, midway through the second inning, a leather-lunged fan yelled ’You’re STILL throwing batting practice!’
I bet Silva could pick out who said that, since there are not that many people there.
I heard it was Ichiro.
Close. It was president of Ichiro's fan club.
Bocock replaced.
Ok how is Crabbe pronounced?

Cray-bie or Cray-buh or some other way?

Crab, according to announcers
Like the crustecean?

hmmm didn’t think of that one

24 runs over two games! That is like 1900 runs over a full season!
Koskie signed a minor league deal with the Cubs

I always kinda wanted to see the Mariners get him.

Heh, I remember back in the day when he was every one's plan B to Adrian Beltre.
Koskie was always going a stupid signing
Would it have been as bad as your sentence?
Boom, roasted.
Maybe it makes sense in England?
Good call...know of any good English translators?
OH SNAP
Let's not get me boxed now...keep it down! Shhhh
OWNED MOTHAFUCKER
How do you figure?

Seems like it would have been good to me.
