vs. PIRATES, 3/08 (Spring Training)

[LA2]

The problem with the Bucs announcers--and whoever is directing the broadcast--is that they're acting like only Pirate fans are watching, they haven't realized what it means for it to be a mlb.com game. If you're not a Pirates fan you don't really want to watch an endless, redundant interview with Jay Bell rather than the game. Ditto the McKutcheon gags and skit. The game, the game--I'm paying to watch the game!!

Breaking ball has been sharp; has had difficulty locating his fastball thus far.

Induces a flyball to end the inning.

[kyleott]

Trayvon grounds out to 2nd to start the 6th.

[kyleott]

Dickerson with a sharp one hopper directly at the 2nd baseman for the 2nd out.

I agree entirely with this, it is pretty monotonous. The interview with McCutchen was better than the incessant full-screen shot of him behind the camera.

Geronim -- er, I mean Jose Gil strikes out after a long 3-2 AB.

[Il BuonO]

No way to listen to wbal while watching the Pirate broadcast I suppose.

[Il BuonO]

....if I'm on mlb.tv

[kyleott]

Matusz with the 92 mph fastball for the K to start.

[PaulFolk]

BTW, Adam Jones and the USA WBC team are underway now.

[Il BuonO]

Matusz looking good.

[kyleott]

Lew Ford just redefined bad route to the ball on his last two attempts. He caught the last one. 2 outs.

[kyleott]

BTW, Adam Jones and the USA WBC team are underway now.

Tried that, opened Radio in a different browser. If you can deal with Angel and Manfra being prophetic, it is doable.

[Il BuonO]

Nice change up, he needs that for RHB

[kyleott]

That was intended to be in response of the WBAL syncing to MLBtv.
