Spring Training Game Day Thread 3/4/2012

Isn't Lannan getting $5m either way?

No, he can be cut and only be due a month's pay.  No chance that happens though.


Edit: misread your comment.  His salary is the same whether he plays here or AAA.

I'd still take Detwiler and Gorzo on the squad even though they have obvious rust.  I'd rather them give up stuff now and work out issues in ST then sometime during the season.  Also Clippard and Storen had pretty horrid ST stints last year if I remember correctly so I don't put too much hope into ST stats.

Rizzo better be trying to trade Lannan somewhere slightly north of here to net back a real CF.

[Kevrock]

Detwiler or Gorzo get the start over Maya, obviously. Lannan gets flipped if he can bring something back.

[MarquisDeSade]

I get the start over Maya.

I get the start over Maya.

At least you probably don't pitch backwards.  Did Maya's fastball get over 90 last year?

Maybe in a wind-assisted game.

Oh my god Don Cherry.

I just went through and looked.  hammondsnats dropped the ball.  Not a single "and so they walk" post for Gorzalololonny.

DFA hAAAAmmondsnAAAAts.    

I was out and on my mobile laughing at the offense and Gorzelanny.

Strasburg didn't feel fully comfortable with his command, it being March 4. He had no concerns about velocity: "I'll be able to let it eat."

This might be the quote of the spring.

Just bustin' your chops.  I was disappointed the posts weren't there.  I needed some comic relief after watching that crap-show.

Wang pitching in an intrasquad game, allowed 2 hits in the 1st but no runs, 12 strikes on 15 pitches per Lorb.

are we going to have a new thread each day or should we just turn this into an overall ST gameday thread?

Last year we had just one big ST gameday thread. I like that idea better.

[imref]

same here.

[The Chief]

I thought we had separate ones last year and then combined them once ST was over?

[Tokeydog]

Please don't make a single large ass thread for those.  Look at this one.  Seventeen pages of chatter on one game minus a few OT posts like this very post.  It would just be crazy to wade through a large thread trying to find the "start" of the next game if I'm an hour late to the party...

[The Chief]

Well somebody create a new one for the next game then.

[MarquisDeSade]

Somebody started one the other day, didn't they?
