Spring game #1 -- lineup and chat

The S-T has the lineup for today's game up, and it appears to have the starters in it, although neither Andruw Jones nor Marlon Byrd is playing (David Murphy is out there, instead). 

Read into that what you will.

Jeff Wilson will also be doing a live chat during the game, which you can check out here.

Ipod

Does anyone know If this will work for my iPod touch or where I can get one that does

by psmitty on Feb 25, 2009 11:47 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

There is an official "mlb.com at bat" app for the ipod touch/iphone

That will provide gameday audio (not sure if it requires a separate subscription.. probably) and live video highlights as well as the gameday balls/strikes thing in the regular season.. not sure what all it will have in ST.

Its not up yet though, it just says coming soon (there was a version last year, though it didnt have as many features).

the preceding post was a great success.

by DSheppard on Feb 25, 2009 12:53 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i should mention

it will cost money, i think 10 dollars.

i don’t know of any free way to get that much info, though there are a lot of free apps that give boxscores as the game goes.

Thanks

I saw the MLB one just had no idea if it was worth the money

by psmitty on Feb 25, 2009 2:01 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I think it will be

if you download the free version of the one out there and go to “extras” then “mlb.com videos” you can watch a preview video of what the new app will have.

Supposedly it will have gameday audio for every game (home and away broadcasts).

Online Broadcast

I signed up for the MLB.tv audio. 15 bucks for the year. Looks like its covered today out of KC radio.

I had mlb.tv two years ago and it was decent. Any improvements since? Hard to jsutify when I have the baseball package on directv.

If you get the premium version it has HD for some games and higher quality than it did 2 years ago for all of them.

You can also pause live games (still blackout for local of course) now.

I like

the look of that lineup with Nellie in the 4 hole. I hope he can get his head right this year and blow the f up behind Hambone. And if Blalock is behind him, that may provide a little protection for him. Don’t particulary care for Benson getting the bump though. Not sure I want him eating innings unless JD is hoping to flip him around the 31st of July.

Hindman with some bloggy notes
Diamond had struggled with establishing a solid breaking ball throughout his tenure with the Rangers organization since coming out of the University of New Orleans and, by his own admission, the bender he was throwing last year was the best breaking ball he’d ever had.

Well, the curve is now evidently gone in favor of a hard slider and I got reports from two players who are very impressed with what they’ve seen from the 2004 first rounder so far this spring.

Hmn

Based on all the raving last year, and his arm history, I think I would’ve rather he kept the curveball.

Of course, the issue is moot if the slider turns out to be just as impressive.

I read it to mean that David Murphy is clearly the superior LF’er and will start 145 games there this year…but then again, I’m partially illiterate.

not nearly as gaunt as he looked last year, he must of gained a lot of weight.

Hopefully with that weight gain comes a few miles on the fastball and a little less brittleness.

I hope he does well, cause, ya know, the Rays need more good, cheap pitching. Joking aside, it is always nice to see guys regroup from injuries to have solid careers.

Our bats are en fuego

6-run first frame by our guys, Cruz has 3 RBI already… he, Blalock and Hamilton all have dingers.

Yeah. Spies. They're little guys with beady eyes and long fingernails. They plant bugs that can pick up the hush of a man's heartbeat - or the whisper of a falling hair.

HRs

by Hamilton, Cruz and Blalock. Kinsler is 2-2. Benson went two and gave up a solo shot to Butler (who people should probably snag in fantasy drafts, bc he is probably set to break out) and looked good overall.

I know even 15 bucks can be a big deal for some folks (like me) though. But for 15 bucks, you get to listen to every game on the schedule… good value.

Has anybody else explored the Texas Rangers Wikipedia Page?

Playoff futility

The Rangers (when combined with their predecessor the Senators) hold several distinctions for playoff futility:
They are one of only three current MLB franchises which have yet to appear in the World Series (the others are the Seattle Mariners and the Washington Nationals), and the oldest active MLB franchise yet to appear
Not only are the Rangers the oldest MLB franchise not to appear in the World Series, they are the oldest franchise in all the four major pro sports leagues to have never appeared in the league’s championship
Not only have the Rangers not appeared in the World Series, they are the only current MLB franchise which has yet to win a playoff series
In their history the Rangers have won only one playoff game, on the road at Yankee Stadium in the franchise’s first playoff game; they have never won a home playoff game
