3/2ST: Angels (Saunders) v CUBS (Z), 2:05CT, Gameday Audio

[swordsman]

Anybody planning on doing play by play or give inning summaries to those of us without audio access?

[98navigator]

Angels baseball is on the air... or something like that

 

I can do a little PBP after Vance

 

The audio feed sounds sketchy!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Audio sucks...I can hardly hear it.

[CubColtPacer]

BTW, for those who are listening to the game, did they say what station it was?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

First pitch from Z...a strike!

[98navigator]

It's on ESPN 710 I believe

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano vs Matthews

 

pitch 1: strike

pitch 2: ball

pitch 3: fouled back over backstop (strike)

pitch 4: strike swinging

 

one out

[VanceJergins]

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

 

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.

 

Wouldnt Floyd be better at the 2 spot than Jones? Murton and Floyd could just share the 2-hole (oh goodness, I am soooo funny).

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cabrera vs Zambrano

 

pitch one: ball- high and inside

pitch two: swinging strike

pitch three: ball high

pitch four: change-up for a strike

pitch five: called strike three

 

two out

[VanceJergins]

Zambrano is so awesome.

[CubColtPacer]

It's on ESPN 710 I believe

 

I'd be a little surprised by that. I'm looking at their schedule online right now, and they have nothing about the Angels game-they say they have regular ESPN programming on there right now.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Vlad vs Z

 

1st pitch: ground-out to short

 

Side retired

 

0-0, mid 1

[VanceJergins]

2 strike outs and a 1 pitch ground out.....not bad.

[sweetpeteman]

WTH?! I can't listen at ESPN 710 online and MLB.com isnt bothering to provide Gameday Audio.

 

Great system, jerks.

I think Lou feels the Floyd has bigger upside in the 5th spot when both he and Jones start.

[Bruce Miles]

Matthews strikeout swinging; Cabrera called; Guerrero groundout to short on first pitch. Zambrano: 10 pitches, 7 strikes.

You can get mlb gameday. You might have to click on a different game first to get to it, and its Angel's coverage.

i'm getting it on gameday audio.

[sweetpeteman]

Ha, in order to get the audio, I had to go to the MLB.com Scoreboard, because they didn't bother to provide the link on the GD Audio page or the main page.

 

 

Dumb.

Nope, it's there but they have blackout restrictions.

[TruffleShuffle]

if Z keeps this up, maybe he can pitch the first complete game shutout in spring training history

Yeah, but Floyd has the things Lou's looking for (patience) and Jones doesnt.
