Minor News

Mariners-related note: Felix Hernandez is set to make his next start.

Baseball-related note: Brandon Webb has been scratched from his next start, complaining of shoulder tightness.

Internet baseball-related note: I got clarification from Cory Schwartz, our awesome contact with MLBAM, that if you have a MLB.tv Premium subscription, all other Premium products (Audio, Gameday, etc) are included.

Internet baseball stats-related note: I mentioned it once and Graham's post below sort of hints at it, but just to be official about it, StatCorner is updating with 2009 stats.

Felix's second start is always his best!
Fuck me.
The disease is spreading.
And Doug Davis gives up a bomb on the first pitch of the game.

HAHAHA FUCK YOU BASEBALL GODS!

Hot diggity damn!
I am enjoying guessing which news nugget elicited this reaction
Definitely not the faggy StatCorner update
Well then I have good news!
I'm so fucking tired of the suppositories.

Just shove it up your ass already.

On second reading, this doesn't sound as much like Farnsworth as I thought.
statcorner glitch

hWAR is not adjusted for plate appearances. Russell Branyan has a hWAR~2 right now with only a handful of PA.

The mlbtv premium would be nice

If Nexdef didn’t cause it to crash and skip and sputter

Hopefully it’s their problem and not my computer… although college internet may not be as quick I would like…

Or if their blackouts made any sort of sense
If you checked out MLB.tv's blog....

You’d see it’s definitely their problem. They ended up purging all of the posts apparently, probably because people were threatening to get a refund and complaining about how bad it sucks.

“I won’t share my thoughts on that,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said when asked what his reaction was to the incident. “It was not a real good feeling. Let’s leave it at that. I can’t say what I was thinking. But Felix was sensational.”

This quote makes me think that Z curses and that makes me sad.

Another tidbit:

Kelvim Escobar was scratched from his rehab start tomorrow with shoulder tightness.

Kelvim Escobar's return is delayed?! Shock! Disbelief! Disappointment!
Now pitching for the Atlanta Braves

Eric Potatoes O’Flaherty!

Not off to a great start either.

D'oh

replaced after just 3 batters, a ground out, a hit by Utley and then he hit Ryan Howard.

Wow Atlanta's bull pen is scary

and not in a good way.

Good news about the Premium subscription extending across different formats.

I don’t use GameDay all that much, and I honestly wouldn’t freak out if they charged even more for GameDay Premium because I wouldn’t pay for it, but it’s good that they bundle it in. MLBAM has an opportunity to make a lot of money here while also being good to their customers. They keep doing things that surprise me. Good on them.

I should clarify:

I use GameDay sometimes to check pitches, so as long as it still included Pitch/FX, that’s all I need. The added stuff isn’t necessary to me, yet it’s still cool as hell, so I’m glad to have it. Just for the fun of it, I guess. I leave the more in-depth stuff to you guys.
