Uh oh, I don't think this game is going to have any live media coverage. :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

There's nothing scheduled on the MLB.com multimedia guide.

Not even XM?

 

This is the first game to be this way.

 

Maybe Bruce can provide PBP.

[littleburr24]

Are these D-Back jerseys new this year or last year?

[BCVM22]

This year.

[Omar]

Man, I didnt expect NSBB to be this boring.. especially when the Cubs are doing well.

Still spring training. Give it time.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is Owings just pitching for the D-Backs, or is he playing in the field too?

So I'm guessing no PBP? Lame!

I checked the XM schedule and there's nothing there about it.

There will be no games available, for us to see or watch, until Friday. :cry:

Can you explain the difference between seeing and watching games?

You can see a game by just showing up or turning on the TV. But to truly appreciate it, and really understand the poetry in motion, you must watch.

Biography:

This big strong righty out of Tulane could have been drafted as a power hitting first baseman or a fire balling right hander. The Diamondbacks chose the latter and have been rewarded with one of the best pitching prospects in the system. After a long college season the Diamondbacks kept Owings in the bullpen last year, and all he did was carry a 2.45 ERA in 16 games, striking out 30 in 22 innings. He went 6-2 with a 2.91 ERA in Tennessee the first three months, striking out 69 in 74.1 innings, which was good enough to get a promotion to Triple-A Tucson in just his second pro season, and first full year. The aggressive promotion of Micah also bodes well for him getting a chance with the big league club this season.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yeah, but Owings has been solely playing in the field once he turned pro.

I still think it's a long shot for either Coats or Cherry to make the team.
