Mark,

 

Please don't suck.

 

Thanks

[Friendly Confines]

I think it's still ok if he gives up a few runs, just as long as he improves his velocity

[Omar]

Please dont lose to the almighty Kansas City Royals..

Well, I'll likely miss the first two or three innings of the game, which should put me home just in time to see Prior.

 

Speaking of Prior, what do you guys feel you "need" to see out of him today.

 

I'm personally happy if his arm is attached and he is throwing 85, but in all seriousness i'd like to see him consistently work between 87-90. If he can top 90 then great, if not, I don't care. At the same time, I don't care if he gets roughed up, as long as he has some velocity and can locate a pitch or two.

 

EDIT: On a related note; I wonder if they'll have a radar gun visible on the screen? I hope so.

[C.C.]

Good god I'm hung-over... Blah, blah, blah...

 

Go Cubs...

Should be an interesting day.

[RichHillIsABeast]

I wonder if Coats is going to make the opening day roster. He sure is getting some playing time.

[Southpaw191679666239]

I guess when Prior pitches on TV, they want you to be completely focused on him, so they run the B/C team out there for position players. ;)

[Guancous]

I was talking to a guy that has Nationals season tickets. I didn't have the heart to tell him they replaced Alfonso Soriano with Nook Logan.

Me 2. I like to see the velocity and command of the fastball. I dont really care if the curve ball is everywhere. A little 'bite' would be nice even if its out of the zone.

 

Good pitching day.

[BigbadB]

Let's see the Royals top that line up. :)

 

Looks like a few guys are in there to impress today, or else.

 

First cuts directly follow today's game?

Murton's arms are tired from hitting so many taters and his eyes are tired from taking so many walks. He needs to rest.

It must be a delayed broadcast or something. XM176 is the Mets and Nats right now, and it's only in the bottom of the 5th.

[PrimeTime]

I agree the lineup sucks today..oh well..I just wanna see Lilly and Prior pitch on tv.

I think Kinkade is the only guy in the lineup that is at risk of getting cut in the first wave. I'd be surprised if anyone else was. There's a couple of guys who probably won't make it, but should at least last until the later waves of cuts.

No Lee, Jones, Ramirez, Soriano? Man..

 

At least Pie is playing.

[PrimeTime]

I would like to see Soriano playing more...So he really can get used to CF before the season starts

Yeah, I guess so. Stupid XM. The schedule says that it's supposed to broadcast the Cubs' game at 3:05ET, so I don't know what's up. XM leaves a lot to be desired. I know it's only spring training, but still.

[PrimeTime]

Theriot got robbed..

[RichHillIsABeast]

Way to take some pitches, Jacque. That was a horrible pitch to swing at.
