Hey.....
It’s spring training!
Visit www.TwinsCards.com and check out "rosters" to see my collection!
at least
against RHP, though I imagine once the season rolls around, Cuddyer would be in there for Delmon.

Mine's working fine.
You have the “auto-refresh” thing clicked, yes?

haha, congratulations.

Don't know, as I don't have mlbtv or a radio station that carries the Twins
I’m watching it on an extremely laggy gameday feed which is really pissing me off, but if you would like to be aggravated by it too, the link is below.
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2010_03_09_slnmlb_minmlb_1
I love to be aggravated!
Many thanks.

Ah, now that you mention it...
not so much. Either he’s having a hell of a time at the plate, or Gameday sucks. Your pick.
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
Oh wow.
He singled. Finally. Like it won’t do anything forever. then you get the whole inning at once afterwards.
Haha, it's stuck again.
On Rasmus this time.
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
Possibly.
But that’s pretty irritating for people without access to a radio.

I warned you before you clicked it.
It’s really irritating because it’s making want to do things at work to kill time between updates.
Like...work?
Haha, oh nooo!
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
Oh, it's working now.
And is catching up on everything really quickly. Totally missed O-Hud and Morneau’s ABs.

Worst cheer ever?
Worst cheer ever.
Slightly ahead of it’s closest competition the “r-u-f-f, t-u-f-f, ruff tuff (team name)”
Hardy single
Punto walk
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Span
out on a sac bunt
Mauer with a 2 run single
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
sorry
O-Hud groundout – Hardy scores
Mauer singles – Punto scores
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Twins
bottom of second:
Hardy single
Punto walk
Span sac bunt
Hudson groundout, RBI
Mauer single, RBI
Morneau fly out
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
The 4-3 score is still correct, yes?
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
correct yes
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
I have a feeling
that Pavano has thrown more than just 15 pitches. Or else, the Cardinal hitters are awfully impatient.
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
On the Nathan Front
Hopefully Slama, Neshek or whoever is new closer can show us something so we can dump Nathan….we will never win a playoff game with him closing…
That can't be right...
18 pitches, 18 strikes? No way.
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
Pavano
has faced 16 hitters – Pavano has 3 Ks. It is not right. Gameday only posts the balls hit into play I believe. Nothing else, such as balls, or number of pitches thrown for a K etc…
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Well it's showing for Wainwright
11 strikes, 8 balls. And an 18.00 ERA. Yeah, probably not right.
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
In past years...
Gameday during preseason, treats an out as a strike, batted ball as a strike, strikeout as 3 strikes and a walk as 4 balls, I believe.
Needless to say…PAY NO ATTENTION to pitch count info.
Regards,
I don't suffer from insanity...I relish every moment of it!
Rasmus K
Holliday grounds out
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Punto
fielding error
Reese single
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Desclaso lines out to Span
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Cardinal top of the third
Rasmus – K
Holliday – groundout
Ludwick – reached on fielding error by Punto
Reese – single
Descalso – line out to Span
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Punto's Errors
I do believe that is Punto’s 3rd error so far.
2nd error
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
He also had a bobble on a DP that ended in one out the other day
Not an error, but not a good play either. Of course, Gladden still found a way to say “Nice play, Nicky flashin the leather!” about 10 times that game. I guess Punto is detailing Gladden’s bike now in addition to Gardy’s truck.

3 errors by Punto now
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Thome pop up
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Twins bottom of third
Thome – pop out
Kubel – K
Young – ground out
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Pavano back
out there for 4 IP today
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
oops no
Crain replaces Pavano
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Cardinals
Mather – fly out to Delmon
LaRue – ground out to Punto
Schumaker – ground out to Morneau
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Twins
Hardy – K
Punto – K
Span – pop out
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
we should
start to see some substitutions soon.
Look for Cuddy at first, Portes in LF, Valencia at 3B
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
I was looking for Valencia
to start. Punto to back-up

Span has two nice plays in CF.
for those who say our outfild D-fence sucks. I think our outfield D. is good and Span can handle CF just fine.
by b1 on Mar 9, 2010 2:48 PM EST up reply actions
Span is fine in CF
not great, but he is fine.
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Possibly
We still have very limited UZR data on Span in CF at the major league level. I expect him to fall somewhere in between “fine” and “very good”

I really hope so

Manship replaces Crain

Rasmus – 2 run homer
Holliday – walks
Ludwick – walks
Freese at the plate, 2 runs have scored, 2 men on base, 0 outs
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Manship's got nothing

MLB At-Bat
Need some advice. What are the big advantages of this app? Can I watch games live on my I-phone with it? Radio? Is it Gordo and Dazzle? I do gameday at work when I get the chance and know it does not update like promised.
by z-squad on Mar 9, 2010 2:43 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Yeah, gameday is normally pretty good...
I’m not sure how many people are manning the press boxes of these early pre-season games.
I'd like to hear from someone that got that app, too.
I just downloaded some apps last night and am wondering if that is worth it during the regular season.

Video for Android
If this thing ends up being able to stream my mlb.tv subscription to my Droid, I will buy the heck out of it…
I *love* MLB At-Bat.
Love it. You can listen to any radio station you want — Dazzle and Gordo, of course, but also any of the other 29 teams. After each game, there are 5 to 10 video clips (usually 30 seconds or less) of the highlights of the game; by the next morning, there’s a 10 minute game recap. If you want to watch the game live and streaming, you have to upgrade; I don’t, because watching that much TV on the iPhone gives me a headache. There’s also the standard real-time pitch counts with the location of each pitch, the box score, etc. I buy it every season and it’s worth every penny.

Thanks for the recap.
Pretty sure I’m gonna download it today. :)

I just got this year's version myself.
Third season running, and it gets better every time.
http://www.realityfish.com
Are some of the reviews correct though
in saying that Spring Training coverage is pretty bad?

Quetions
I’m thinking about getting it this year:
- How is the audio quality? Are there problems sometime because of using the 3G network? How smooth is the video when watching the live games?
Pretty much that’s the only line of questioning, actually.

On those:
The audio is only limited by the iPhone speakers. I’ve had the occasional hiccup where my cell coverage isn’t great, but that’s life. I don’t have the iPhone 3G, I’m still on first-gen, so I don’t know. And since I don’t have the upgrade for live games, I can’t tell you. Sorry, not as helpful on these…

Do you use the headphones? How is the audio then?

Really? That’s very odd, never heard that before…

Haven't used it for that yet, but coverage for spring training pretty much sucks anywhere.
It’s giving me the batting count and telling me who’s on the bases, so that right away beats Yahoo.
http://www.realityfish.com
Yeah, fair enough.
Thanks, though, for the input. Very much appreciated. :)
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
I'll have to think about it
I’ll just have to take a look at the Twins schedule. I’m gonna’ be on the air myself most of the time the Twins are playing, so I’ll just have to evaluate how much use I’ll actually get out of it.

That is a clutch change. The old way would have really annoyed me…

Question about MLB At-Bat
I live in the Twin Cities. Do the MLB blackout restrictions still apply to this app?

Hardy knocks
in Young/Peterson…Hardy reached on fielding error after Young tripled
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Tolbert replaces
Hardy on the paths, and Valencia replaces Punto on the paths after a Punto walk. Bennie Revere is up
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Revere
RBI single
Casilla GIDP…with Revere and Casilla???…that is a new one. Casilla must have hit the ball really hard in order to get both of the fastest players on this team out.
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Stavinoah
singles…Ramos throws to second to catch Stavinoah stealing. Ramos to Casilla – 1 out
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Ramos singles to CF
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett

"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Any bets
on who starts the ninth inning? I vote Jon Rauch
"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Valencia HR?
Nice.

"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us." - Kirby Puckett
Wow
Wow, a pickoff to finish things. Like John Gordon says, how rare is that…

Trade Glen Perkins!
For Heath Bell!!!!!!!! Glen and a prospect, we don’t need Glen! Whats he gonna be are long inning reliever? What about checking in with John Smoltz?? I think John could handle a year back in the pen and be dominant! Why weaken what I though was gonna be a top 5 bullpen!!! Sign someone and keep are middle releivers where they are!
can you spell?
