According to this, no but it will be shown on a delay on MLBN

[Guest]

Hmm. I saw a promo on CSN yesterday morning saying something about a Cubs broadcast "tomorrow night"

[RammyFanny]

Yeah it's showing on my guide.

So uh Wada gave up a HR and then got pulled in the first with an injury. Between him and Turner that 5th starter depth is thinning out a lot faster than I'd like.

[ctcf]

Matt Sczcur now improbably has 2 HRs in spring training.

I'm fine holding the line here. Don't want to lose any more.

When Hamels arrives it won't matter.

Word from Mesa is #Cubs Wada left game with sore groin. He's to be re-evaluated

OH BOY FRIDAY NIGHT BASEBALL

I remember seeing a photo of Szczur like a year or two ago in the minor league forum of him in his pre-game gear or something and he looks, physically, like the type of guy who should hit somewhere between 10-20 homers a season. He looks stronger than his numbers indicate, perhaps they've been reworking his swing?

[treebird]

bosio interview has been great. very direct talking about wood's poor offseason preparation going into last year. fowler goofing around making an effort to get on camera. rizzo in the background showing the bat boy where the camera is and instructing him to wave.

[treebird]

also super positive talking about motte and rosscup

[Tryptamine]

I really don't think Russell is going to benefit by going to AAA, he's ready now.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Russell would definitely be on almost every other opening day roster.

[Guest]

LaStella's had a real nice night at the plate, and save for ranging too far on one groundball and partially causing Russell's error, he's looked fine at 3B too.

[Tryptamine]

Russell with a 2B and is now 1/1 with 2BB. I believe he's batting .500 on the spring now.

Schwarber catching

[Guest]

Boy Hannemann against a sidearming LH is not pretty. Venditte could have been calling the pitches out ahead of time and it wouldn't have mattered.

yeah, i definitely recognize that it is unfair to judge him at all based on that pa, but he looked like a little boy who got cocky hitting against his dad and his dad decided to remind him who was boss.

[Clem Fandango]

I could've sworn Venditte was a prospect who was drafted only a couple years back. He's 30 years old. He's been in the Yankees org since 2008, and his numbers in the minors aren't that bad. 384.2 mostly relief innings with a 2.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 10.1 K/9. Seriously his numbers have been pretty good at each stop but it looks like the Yankees used him as a side show attraction instead of treating him like an actual pitcher with big league potential.

[Quakers]

Ho Hum...one pitch and another Bryant homerun

[Guest]

bryant bomb ho hum

[ctcf]

god damn

[Hairyducked Idiot]
