Is mlb broadcasting these games for free or is it just for their gameday or whatever it is users?

free webcast like the Sox have been doing the last few years.

Quintana took a ball to the shin, he's coming out of the game

That sucks. He should be ok though.

he'll be fine

I don't know about you guys, but my favorite part about baseball is listening to old men talk about their golf swings and how good of a golfer each former and current major league player is.

Rienzo has struck out 4 in 1.2 innings

Carlos Sanchez has a ghetto booty

6-10 now, he just had another hit.

 

If he keeps this up, Beckham could join De Aza/ Tank out of the door.

Carlos Sanchez has a ghetto booty

 

In all seriousness, a writer at BA said a big part of the reason he dropped in their rankings is that he gained a fair amount of weight and no longer seemed to be quick enough to be a legitimate SS or basestealer.

Wheels Konerko.

 

4-4 game, rbi single for Danks.

Edited March 8, 201412 yr by flavum

2 out rally vs Putz to tie it at 4. Gillaspie and Abreu open with outs. Avi Garcia triples to RCF Konerko walks. Alexei singles on a 1-2 count up the middle bringing home Garcia. Leury Garcia pinchruns for Alexei leaving PK to fend for himself at 2nd. So when Jordan Danks dumps a single to left PK chugs home. Throw beat him but catcher couldnt hold the ball. Leury Garcia then thrown out trying to steal 3rd for the 3rd out.

Deunte Heath is so so so so bad

They've got to tighten things up.

 

3 caught steals today, some in very inauspicious circumstances.

 

 

Yesterday, we had Ramirez and Beckham failing to cover 2nd on a steal with Flowers' throw going into CF for the error, Viciedo out by 15 feet at 2nd base trying to stretch a single into a double, Trayce Thompson with a bad error and Eaton out stealing 3rd as well, running us out of an inning where we should have had 3-4-5 runs instead of just 2.

 

 

Maybe Carlos Sanchez was trying to add weight this off-season in order to show more power at the dish?

Seems like a net loss if he's lost some of his range and speed.

 

Nieto, supposedly, has been impressive catching and hitting so far.

It is spring. There aren't "circumstances". It is glorified scrimmages.

Crappy AB to end the game.

Exactly. And I think Robin has given everyone the greenlight to steal just to get a feel for guys

After all, they were so effective on the basepaths last year, why not?

 

I was listening to one of the Dodgers' games last weekend and Tommy Lasorda was adamant about spring training being crucial in setting the tone for the regular season.

 

It's popular these days to say there's no correlation (or the Royals would have won 2-3 World Series titles), but for a franchise trying to turn things around and teach players the right way to play the game, it's probably a lot more important than for a veteran club.

 

It shouldn't feel like last season never ended and it's just one long continuation with a different cast of characters (Eaton/Davidson/Abreu/Garcias, etc.)

And why would Tommy say the first couple of weeks of spring training or the entire thing is not important? It is the time to iron out the kinks. Guys aren't going to be in midseason form. If there are going to be mistakes, now is a good time for them to happen.

 

Chris Sale got lit up the other day. Should we all panic?

 

Pinning too much on performance both good and bad, is a mistake. There was a stretch a few years ago that for about 4 or 5 years straight, the player that led the majors in spring homers failed to hit 10 in the regular season.

It only matters to young guys trying to make a team. From the sounds of it Davidson has played himself to AAA.

It's not about homers or Chris Sale.

 

It's about playing the game right. They haven't done that as a franchise since August 15, 2012.

 

Nobody's expecting Paulino to have a 0.00 ERA, Abreu to hit 13 homers (like Betemit) or Davidson to hit 449.

 

But to see a continuation of the same exact things we saw last year...it was enough to draw a CSNChicago article from Dan Hayes. Brennaman mentioned it during the Reds' broadcast, how many 11 a.m. workouts and practice sessions Ventura called when the team was on the road, to no avail. He said he'd never seen a worse team in terms of fundamentals and baseball IQ, and that the 99 losses weren't nearly as bad as what the reality was all season long.

 

Balta has been harping on it as well. You can say it's just spring all you want, but the tone and tenor are set from the very first day of spring.
