Dang. No. Tomorrow, though...TRASHMAN!!!!!!

Nice to see Scott at #6. He was #7 on OD, right?

[Oriole4Life]

This will be my first OH game thread(had to work Monday) and I guarantee to bring a victory. I love how DirecTV gives a free MLB Extra Innings preview the first week of the year. It really is a tight package.

[JerseyO]

I'm so glad you said that, because I totally forgot that they do that. It works though, becuase I always end up ordering the full season package

[AgentOrange]

I finally get to see the Boys. I missed out on Opening day and my pops ruined it for me (I dvr'd it) before I had a chance to watch it...

In a fit of rage, I erased it because we didn't play well and on Tuesday I was upset that I erased it because I wanted to watch it...

Oh well, got a bunch of games in a row now!!!!

Matt Garza's <a href="http://baseball.bornbybits.com/plots/Matt_Garza.html">pitch profile</a> from 2007.

Garza primarily works with his mid-90s 4-seam fastball and mid-80s slider that tails away from right-handed hitters.

He also mixes in a slower traditional curve, especially against lefties, and will throw a change in any count to keep hitters from cheating on his fastball.

Garza has relatively good control for a young pitcher, and is a slight fly-ball pitcher.

He has a similar repertoire/profile to <a href="http://baseball.bornbybits.com/plots/Jeremy_Guthrie.html">Jeremy Guthrie</a>.

Oh sweet, thanks. I'll definitely watch it on the TV then. I have the MLB.tv package, but whatever.

[Spoonless]

Sadly, I don't have the extra cash for MLBEI or MLB.tv this year, so it's hunting good links on www.thegamelive.com and listening to the games for me.

[Why Not?]

I like Roch in the pregame, even if it just takes screen time away from Dipper and Hunter.

[Why Not?]

Daniel, strike zone. Strike zone, Daniel. Please get to know each other.

[weams]

I love Joe Angel. Ball One.

And we're off...
