I'll sneak a listen in the car during my lunch break. :)

Not that I am against signing up just for spring training games. But does anyone know of a free feed of this game anywhere?

You can try wgnradio's web site during the game... I know that the games are blacked out during the regular season, I'm not sure if the same principle applies for ST.

I like it, Lou making no excuses, no more crap such as Jacque Jones getting doubled off on a fly ball because of the light air in Arizona.

That won't work today-the Cubs aren't broadcasting it at all. There might be a feed that will open up for the opposing team, but that won't be known till a little before gametime.

Would you mind if we move this to baseball discussions because I think we have some pretty good info here.

The broadcast schedule is on the list in the sticky above.

 

XM says their broadcast policy is to carry spring training games when there is a home team broadcast on the team's flagship station and if it's not a split squad game. Since WGN isn't broadcasting this game, it's not being carried.

[Bruce Miles]

I don't have the Angels' lineup, but the Cubs go this way:

 

Soriano, CF

Izturis, SS

Lee, 1B

Ramirez 3B

Murton, LF

DeRosa, 2B

Blanco, C

Pagan, RF

Zambrano, P

I need to have a discussion with XM about this. :twisted:

izturis at 2, yuck

Interesting. If Lou is dead set on a lefty in the 2 slot here I'd rather see what Pagan could do there than Izturis.

Pagan's not an option for the two spot on a regular basis though-it's Murton, Jones, DeRosa, or Izturis-Piniella said he is looking for patience there and the ability to hit fastballs and hit the ball to all fields.

 

I don't mind Izturis there for now-if he shows those abilities, then that's great. If he doesn't, let's find it out in ST and not during the regular season.

I agree but I would rather see him get some AB's to show what he has or doesn't have.

Ahh-yeah, I'd definitely put him in front of Blanco-it's not like Blanco's AB's are really going to be important in spring. I do think Lou cares more about finding the proper lineup order though then evaluating the different possible 25th man candidates-it's an interesting question of which is more important right now.

Well let's hope that Lou's son tells him how bad of a hitter Izturis really is!

It is good to see Piniella not starting Jones against a lefty.

Well, as I think you know, while there's a decent chance Izturis will be really bad I also think there's a decent chance from a close analysis of his numbers that he'd be all right-I'm hoping this spring indicates that he's returned to be the latter than the former.
