    GDT: Mets @ Braves 03/23: Return of the Venezuelan Trout

    I don't want to live in a world where Rosario and Arcia get more plate appearances than Ozzie.

    GDT: Mets @ Braves 03/23: Return of the Venezuelan Trout

    Just a guess, but I'm thinking he's a placeholder in the lineup for Murphy. Swap Murphy for Ozuna in the lineup, and switch Murphy and Td'A defensively, and I think you have the opening day lineup.

    Spring Training Thread

    Gaudin was calling NCAA tournament games on radio yesterday. He did the ones at the site where West Virginia and Maryland played. I wonder if one of the ways MLB and Bally will work through the bankruptcy involves using only one broadcast team per game, likely the home team announcers only...

    Chop Country Braves Game Meet Up

    My best chance of making it would be the September series. Maybe the weekend series in mid-August if my son decides to go to Furman instead of one of his other options.

    clvclv has made the journey beyond the Field of Dreams.

    Would love to do this, but due to other travel obligations this summer I probably won't be able to make it. If my son decides to go to Furman odds go up, at least if it's a later-season game. I'd be willing to help the boss with the dinner expenses, even if I can't be there in person.

    ST 3/2 at Mets - Kolby on mound, Grissom and Ozuna and minor leagues- on TV

    Preparing him to have to carry the team after the trade deadline fire sale.

    Game three - Ian’s new slider and Grissy batting 2nd.

    Shouldn't our starting 3B today be at home working on bracketology for ESPN?

    Bally Sports Heading For Bankruptcy

    Looks accurate from some quick searching. Liberty bought the team in 2007. Twenty year TV contract expires in 2007.

    Bally Sports Heading For Bankruptcy

    Wasn't the TV deal done well before the Liberty purchase? I thought that went back further, and was more about propping up TWAOL stock, but could be misremembering.

    Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

    Baseball is the only sport where I'm neutral as to whether I watch the game on TV or listen to the audio stream. A good play-by-play team can paint the picture well enough that you can almost see what's happening in your mind. It's not just old guy nostalgia either. I grew up listening to...

    I'm not sure Trout does want to go to Philly. I read an article in the past couple of years that addressed this with Trout. He said something to the effect of not wanting the pressure of going home at this stage of his career. There is definitely some logic to his thinking if that is indeed...

    Braves extent Snitker

    I would be all in on Snitker if he would do two things, which AA would likely have to mandate. 1) hire a bench coach with an understanding of and commitment to analytics, rather than a fellow dinosaur, and 2) actually use that coach's input for in-game decision making, lineup construction...

    Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

    Great points. Longhorn fans are the worst.

    Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

    Doing a little snooping online, it appears that Hart lives in Atlanta (although he is a Missouri native and graduate of UM). I couldn't find any salary information for him...I have zero idea what either network pays their staff.

    Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

    I wonder which job pays better. Hart is really good at football PBP.

    Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

    It makes too much sense to move either Powell or Ingram to TV. I don’t really have a preference to which goes where as I think they are both outstanding and I probably watch and listen to an equal number of games.

    Very possible, but if that happens that still doesn't give any of us the right to put it in that golddigger's butt while she's passed out or asleep.

    Not guilty ≠ innocent. All that means is that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute or convict, or that a prosecutor didn't feel it was worth the effort. See also: Orenthal James Simpson.

    It couldn't hurt to have a Razorback good luck charm on the bench.
