Oakland at Tampa Bay

 

Tommy Milone in all sorts of trouble. Rays lead 2-0 with the bases still loaded and one out in the first inning.

Wells just made a nice grab at the wall... Couldnt believe it

[fan_since79]

Vernon is hitting .300 with five home runs already.

 

I can't stand it.

I can't stand it.

Every Jays game is shown on TV here. So ive watched him hit two home runs this weekend and make a nice grab. Annoying as hell.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Santana is pitching today. He isn't looking as good as he looked in his previous three starts this year. His Royals are losing 2-1 against Boston in the second inning. 

[Carlota Gonzalez]

What's the deal with no Vin Scully? Two others guys are calling that game right now.

He doesn't do the east coast games. 

[Carlota Gonzalez]

He doesn't do the east coast games. 

Ahh, gotcha. Didn't know that.

The Dodgers management announced in February 2006 that it had extended Scully's contract through the 2008 baseball season for about 3.0 million dollars per year. In recent years (more specifically, beginning around 2005), Scully has cut back his work schedule to approximately 110 games a year, with the first three innings via a radio and TV simulcast, and the remainder exclusively on TV. Scully normally does not work non-playoff games played east of Denver. Exceptions to this rule were the 2007 opening series in Milwaukee a series against the Chicago Cubsin 2007, and a series against the Boston Red Sox in 2010. He is not normally scheduled to announce Dodgers games (on either radio or TV) if ESPN is televising it for Sunday Night Baseball or ifFox-TV is showing it on a Saturday afternoon. Although Scully had talked of retiring after the 2009 season, he has continued announcing baseball games through 2012 and has returned for 2013, his 64th as the Dodgers broadcaster.

As of the 2012 season, Scully calls roughly 100 games per season (all home games and road games in California and Arizona)^[11] for both flagship radio station KLAC and television outletsKCAL-TV and Prime Ticket. Scully is simulcast for the first three innings of each of his appearances, then announces the remaining innings only for the TV audience. If Scully is calling the game,Charley Steiner takes over play-by-play on radio beginning with the fourth inning, with Rick Monday as color commentator.^[11] If Scully is not calling the game, Eric Collins and Steve Lyons call the entire game on television while Steiner and Monday do the same on radio.

I'm happy for Vernon.

Not much action in this thread I see. My only comment is this: Seattle is useless. Can't win a single game against Texas, but as soon as they come to Anaheim Morales will Napoli the **** out of us for the win

KC beat BoSox game one. Santana (W) 7 innings 2 runs 7Ks.

Santana has recorded more outs in the 7th inning or later than all Angels starters combined by a significant margin.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

KC beat BoSox game one. Santana (W) 7 innings 2 runs 7Ks.

Yeah. He was struggling the first two innings (5 hits and two runs), but only gave up one hit over the next five innings.

[AZMike]

Yeah. He was struggling the first two innings (5 hits and two runs), but only gave up one hit over the next five innings.

Sounds like Santana is a younger cheaper version of CJ Wilson

[GregAlso]

Not cheaper, still making around $13 million

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Tampa Bay swept the A's. I hope the Red Sox sweep them in their next series.
