Listen live at 12:05. Baker's blog will have the lineups. It's set to be Tyler Walker's Cactus League debut. It'll be interesting to see if he gets the same reception that Griffey did.

Morrow scratched with the flu
won’t pitch again until a week from today! That seems like forever.
Oakland A’s (3-4-1)
11 Rajai Davis CF
24 Kurt Suzuki C
5 Matt Holliday LF
16 Jason Giambi 1B
3 Eric Chavez DH
7 Bobby Crosby SS
57 Aaron Cunningham RF
21 Joe Dillon 3B
26 Corey Wimberly 2B
Starting pitcher — 59 Edgar Gonzalez RHP
I totally forgot that Eric Chavez was still alive!
This spring, thanks to a minor hip alteration during [Jarrod Washburn’s] delivery suggested by pitching coach Rick Adair and bullpen coach John Wetteland, his fastball may have more movement than ever.
“It was something simple they suggested,” Washburn said, being purposefully vague. “It allows me to get out in front farther.”
That gives the ball a tad more whoosh as it gets to the plate.
“It adds some life,” said Washburn
Blowers was buying the excuse and saying that hitters also know that pitchers throw mostly fastballs at this time of the spring so they have it easier. I might start to buy that if it wasn’t for Mr. Bedard.
It’s straight, not very fast and typically up in the zone over the middle of the plate. Sometimes it can be tricky to analyze processes and outcomes for pitchers. In Jarrod’s case it’s pretty easy.
And he spells his name incorrectly thus imparting negative karma on himself.
They are completely convinced that the M’s are going to just flat out cut Wash and put RRS in the rotation. I support that, but it’s not likely to happen.
and Groz and Gas really thought that RRS was the hands down no. 5 guy. I am over at CWU so I don’t get KJR very well other than on the internet, and sometimes I forget how terrible/weird/different it is.

I wonder how well Holliday will end up doing with the A's
His splits were pretty insane at Coors, but…if he does anything close to his previous years, they have a legitimate middle-of-the-order.
cwel87 - March 6, 2009
And of course.
Gameday.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
Gameday is late better off listening to radio if you can though...
Slurvey - March 6, 2009
Terrible fielding.
bluemax - March 6, 2009
Off the glove of Morse!
HE’s worse than Tui! And they gave him a hit?
Slurvey - March 6, 2009
More bad fielding.
bluemax - March 6, 2009
Oh Washburn, you tool.
royalcurve - March 6, 2009
Haha
Even Dave is talking about how we didn’t lose enough to get Strasburg.
bluemax - March 6, 2009
They joked about it quite a bit at FanFest...
Wak got a bit of flak for it…
PositivePaul - March 6, 2009
Thanks for the reminder, Neihaus
Screw you, A’s.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
HOT DAMN GUTI!
Slurvey - March 6, 2009
what happend, great catch?
Rudy4three - March 6, 2009
Yes it was headed toward the gap and Guti came and caught that sucker.
Slurvey - March 6, 2009
Sure sounded like it.
bluemax - March 6, 2009
Drat.
Wish we had video.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
This is awesome
Morse at third and LaHair in LF behind Washburn. He’s gonna get killed.
Bearskin Rugburn - March 6, 2009
It's cool
Gootch can cover left and center.
appleshampoo - March 6, 2009
Gootch
I hope that sticks
Bearskin Rugburn - March 6, 2009
Personally I'm planning to Google "gay porn stars" when I get home and go with the name I find most hilarious.
Aaron Campeau - March 6, 2009
Safesearch- ON!
abender20 - March 6, 2009
Hah, that chin patch was terrible! Too bad he didn't keep it, Area 51 in RF and The Landing Strip in CF.
Kermit. - March 6, 2009
Well that would severely limit my optins now wouldn't it.
Aaron Campeau - March 6, 2009
Tillman just pitched an inning, looked pretty solid.
BrettJMiller - March 6, 2009
Yeah, and he's 20
I love it.
And by love it, I do mean hate my life.
cwel87 - March 6, 2009
Damn
No free internet audio today, and I forgot my radio once again.
appleshampoo - March 6, 2009
Regression to the Mean time.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
Wait
Morrow has a tight fore arm? So it’s not just the flu? FUUUUUCK.
bluemax - March 6, 2009
Tightness came before the flu
And it’s tightness of the forearm. Nothing to worry about.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
Morrow needs to hire someone to jerk him off
Can’t get hurt doing that!
bluemax - March 6, 2009
Strass, too!
PositivePaul - March 6, 2009
Tightness of the forearm
With pitchers tends to come from putting too much pressure on pitches by squeezing the ball too hard.
A few advil and a looser grip and he’ll be fine
mariners124m - March 6, 2009
Washburn is in mid-season form!
Big Jared - March 6, 2009
Jarrod Washburn is still awful
bluemax - March 6, 2009
Dammit Washburn,
Posted March 3rd:
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
And, ST being what it is ....
he may have spent the whole time throwing nothing but fastballs, to get the Mystery Movement down
msb - March 6, 2009
That's what he said in the post game interview.
Blowers was buying the excuse and saying that hitters also know that pitchers throw mostly fastballs at this time of the spring so they have it easier. I might start to buy that if it wasn’t for Mr. Bedard.
ralphie81 - March 6, 2009
I think they meant..
“a tad more whoosh as it leaves the plate.”
The more movement appears to be in the other direction after a hit.
Kunkoh - March 6, 2009
"...more movement than ever."
It’s straight, not very fast and typically up in the zone over the middle of the plate. Sometimes it can be tricky to analyze processes and outcomes for pitchers. In Jarrod’s case it’s pretty easy.
And he spells his name incorrectly thus imparting negative karma on himself.
Big Jared - March 6, 2009
reply fail
Big Jared - March 6, 2009
Wooo Rob Johnson pickoff.
appleshampoo - March 6, 2009
I know spring training isn't going to win him a job
but Rob Johnson’s doing all he can. I’d like to think this doesn’t affect Clement in any way, but at some point it might.
marc w - March 6, 2009
Especially if he keeps hitting .000 this spring
Rudy4three - March 6, 2009
Well, he's not, so there's no chance of that.
Is there some sort of joke I’m not getting?
marc w - March 6, 2009
He's talking about Clement.
Slurvey - March 6, 2009
AHA!
marc w - March 6, 2009
Washburn 4 Cy Young
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
At least he didnt.... um.. walk anyone?
Zonis - March 6, 2009
One more year!

Giabmi has been beaned in 3 straight ABs.

*Giambi
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
Crosby getting Beltre'd
Bearskin Rugburn - March 6, 2009
Dave compared Yuni to Pablo Sandoval
ahahahaha BURN
JI - March 6, 2009
Please leave Giambi alone
oakinboston - March 6, 2009
Spring Training or no
This is sort of deressing. It’s a nice day in Seattle – there should be some winning to go with it. That’ll learn me to be happy there’s a game on!
section331 - March 6, 2009
We've been winning enough, anyway.
Time for some regression.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
Yeah, I suppose you're right
Might as well lie back and take it….
section331 - March 6, 2009
RRS
for 5th starter.
Zwakamatsu - March 6, 2009
It's funny listening to KJR sports radio.
They are completely convinced that the M’s are going to just flat out cut Wash and put RRS in the rotation. I support that, but it’s not likely to happen.
Kevman22 - March 6, 2009
I was listening yesterday
and Groz and Gas really thought that RRS was the hands down no. 5 guy. I am over at CWU so I don’t get KJR very well other than on the internet, and sometimes I forget how terrible/weird/different it is.
Zwakamatsu - March 6, 2009
11-1 A's
Oh well.
ThundaPC - March 6, 2009
Dave
Seems to have completely abandoned the game at this point…
section331 - March 6, 2009
Can you blame him?
ralphie81 - March 6, 2009
Not one bit
That was wicked lame.
section331 - March 6, 2009
"Sloppy ballgame, bad baserunning and most of all bad pitching."
You’re sure right Dave…
Slurvey - March 6, 2009
HBP: Giambi (by Washburn), Giambi (by Washburn), Giambi (by Aardsma).
Good times…Giambi must have bulked up a bit.
appleshampoo - March 6, 2009
Well, he's back to his unshaven Oakland look ....
msb - March 6, 2009
I'm Jason Giambi, and I have the diabetes.
Vatinius - March 6, 2009
It frightens me.
marc w - March 6, 2009
That Aardsma one must have stung.
Good thing Washburn softened him up first.
Llewdor - March 6, 2009
I love this.
From the box:
HBP: Giambi (by Washburn), Giambi (by Washburn), Giambi (by Aardsma).
batura - March 6, 2009
Wow, check this out:
HBP: Giambi (by Washburn), Giambi (by Washburn), Giambi (by Aardsma).
