Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

3/21/10 GDT: Tampa Bay Rays @ Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates

Split-squad today, so we've got two games worth of baseball to follow.  I love double-headers, but it's odd when they happen at the same time.

When: 1:05 PM

Where: Lee County Sports Complex, McKechnie Field

Radio: 620 AM WDAE, both (I don't understand how this is possible)

Rays Pitching Probables vs. Twins: Wade Davis, Heath Phillips, Dale Thayer

Twins Pitching Probables: Scott Baker, Jose Mijares, Glen Perkins, Clay Condreyat

Rays Pitching Probables vs. Pirates: Andy Sonnanstine, Joe Bateman, Jeff Bennett

Pirates Pitching Probables: Daniel McCutchen, Vinnie Chulk, Octavio Dotel

Dale Thayer.  Let's see how ready your mustache is for some low-leverage MLB innings...

The radio guys will split up. One is in Bradenton and one in Ft. Myers

They will switch off every few innings or so.

Unfortunately, this means us out-of-towners can't listen on MLB.tv ><

This should make sternfan happy, but with J.P.'s injury, I wonder if the Rays would look at Russ Springer again.

I still think on a cheap deal Beimel makes some sense.

Carlos Hernandez would be a very nice addition to the ML pen

I agree.

I think C-dez would be a great stop-gap until JP comes back. Rollins is reminding me a lot of Shawn Camp, in terms of his sinker. McGee is not ready yet.

Blah!

Rollins had a 45.4 GB% last year as a SP in AA

Per statcorner. According to Sabermetrics library, 44% is average for MLB. So, he’s not really a GB machine, unless something has changed since last year. (He did post a 53% in A, but only 44% in A+)

I believe K/9 usually goes up when converting to RP, not sure about GB% though.

And what was Price's deal yesterday?

Jacque Jones mashing the ball against him?

Rays @ Pirates: So much for the rain holding off for a bit. It’s raining and thundering in Bradenton. But a couple of Rays are shitting.

Andy, question,

Do you want the tournament to expand or no?

by SRQman on Mar 21, 2010 2:48 PM EDT reply actions  

I don't think I'm Andy

but expanding the tournament would be ridiculously stupid at this point.

Besides, I’ve heard the idea floated of making it 96 teams. How the hell would that work?

You're not Andy

but why is it stupid? LOOK AT ALL THE UPSETS!!!!!1111ONEONE

Question:

Is this scouting report on Jake Mcgee accurate?

I was the head of the Eric Berry bandwagon- Im sad to say its over.
Puffy Rod's Bandwagon continues forever.
New head of the Matthew Barnaby Bandwagon!!!

by 4QB on Mar 21, 2010 3:43 PM EDT reply actions  

It's from 2008

So I don’t know how much the accuracy matters, to be honest. It came pre-TJ.

Mauer will not be wearing pinstripes next year

Rosenthal tweet:

#Twins just announced Mauer deal. Eight years, $184M!

Good for baseball.

was just about to post the exact same thing

this is good for baseball indeed

Regressing to the mean streets of St. Pete

Happiest persons after that deal was announced would be

 Twins fans and Victor Martinez agent ;)

Congrats Twins fans and Joe Mauer.

Glad he won’t be a Yankee for the next 4 years.

Texas A&M lost

that region has now gone to hell for me.

Duke still isn’t gettting past the Round of 16.
