Anyone watching the broadcast just catch the question someone (Rich?) asked O'Hearn about whether he thinks the team can get better? Was interested in the exact question and response, but my DVR isn't letting me rewind at the moment. 

[Greg Pappas]

Are they expected to play through without delays? They'll at least be getting under way on time, so that's a good thing.

The singer was quite good today.

Finally here on time! Love the 11am MT games

Work game. No game access for me. Weather should hold with maybe a passing shower around 3:30.

Rich Dubroff:      Do you think this team could be better, or is better, than last year's?

O'Hearn:             C'mon, Rich.   I mean, it's April 16? or 15?   We've got a really good team; we had a really good team last year.     Yeah, I'm not gonna compare teams at this point, but thank you for the question, Rich.

 

Wow. 

[Surhoffan17]

Probably hoping for four innings or so today from Suarez.

Put this in his thread. He owned the Phillies. We gonna be ok.

See.. have a seat Mr. Julien.

[Goober Noodles]

Good start so far!

[justD]

Four 96-97 fastballs, 3 swings-and-misses. Great start for Suarez. 

[Moose Milligan]

Blew away the leadoff hitter.  3 swings and misses already.

Gotta like the velocity.

Pop out to JH.  2 quick outs.

I was at that game and watched from directly behind the plate.  Was a fun one.  But it was spring training. 

[Moose Milligan]

They can't touch his fastball yet.  Whiffed Buxton twice.
