Is this being televised? i cant seem to find it anywhere.

So... us west coasters do not get to see our own team?

MLB has a season replay on, and nothing on FSW...  Am i missing a channel or something?  they did this with the opening day game in Aussyland, forcing west coast to watch a replay.

/sigh

56 game hitting streak is wayyyy more impressive then a roided out guy in body armor from head to toe.  Go away please.

I will believe Sosh not playing Shuck a lot when I see Sosh not playing Shuck a lot.  Dipoto gave him a toy and we all know Sosh loves his toys.

This, for to long Sosh has been guilty of it.

Yeah, that was bad but reading the twitter feed it appears there should be some real restrictions as to what asshats are allowed an account and which are simply flushed from social media for the rest of eternity.

That is the problem with social media, you give people that shouldn't breed a voice, and it shows.

PIRATES!

I think Sosh is going to quit.  Heard him on the radio this morning, and just something about the way he was talking... just does not sound like a guy very happy where he is.

If Howie had hit into a DP, I would have been momentarily pissed at Howie, sure.

 

But letting him swing the bat there is absolutely the right call, so I would have had absolutely no problem with Scioscia going that route.

I completely agree with you.

So lets suppose he let Kendrick hit... and then Kendrick does his routine double play ground ball... you would all be yelling at either Howie or Sosh for letting him hit...  I am more of the opinion to not let Howie hit 2nd.  Sosh did take the bat out of Trouts hands for sure, and that is bad.  But more and more around here, its damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Wow, another use of RBI as an important stat to indicate talent. This concept is harder to kill than folks who think the Earth is less than 50,000 years old, flat or that the Sun revolves around the Earth.

Impressive...

So is it now the opinion of these stat guys that RBI's are pretty much worthless now?

Yes to both as well..

However, Shuck reminds me of guys that was on the early years of Scioscia managing.... I think he will get the nod over Calhoun.

Wow great piece

I see Shuck taking that prized Erstad slot in the Scioscia world of baseball. 

Good for him

Prediction: Burnett will return sometime after the 2014 ASB and get reinjured, while Madson will throw a few pitches for us this September when we're 20 games out, then sign with another team and save 30 games in 2014.

This to me sounds about right.

Its funny you mention that.  In the hotel i am in the only thing i can really get is ESPN.  6am this morning ESPN got really excited and now its the Jeter show.

That is great, really shows the class of the Weavers.

I say go for it... Its something to cheer for this year.

When will this franchise get back to doing a better job of scouting potential acquisitions?

As soon as they change the mind set of winning now and look long term.  We know Dipoto is capable of it.  I believe its an Arte thing to be honest, but it is his team, he makes the calls.  As soon as Regina took over things went south very quick.

Hamilton 2 - 4 2b

Yeah that was a moon shot for sure.

Trout 3-4 2B

1979, Baylor was a stud that year.
