Gameday Link on a slow HH day

LINK -to- GAMEDAY

VLADDY!!!

2-run bomb. Halos up 3-2

Nice!

Good to see someone else is here! ;)

Pretty scary for me to be posting updates given how slow Gameday is...

:)

I am "watching" gameday, too. I think it is already the 9th inning in real life while Gameday is still in the 4th (joke).

Torii Hunter

also goes yard. 4-2 good guys.

Darren O'Day

in to pitch the 5th for the Halos.

Not a good start

O'Day gives up a single, WP to 2nd, and next batter reaches 1st on e-4

Darren O'K will get out of it...

Maybe Not

uh oh.

c'mon i'm watchin game-sloth, so help me out here.

Hud was just commenting earlier

how Hunter dropped below 500 avg and we should cut him (joking, of course).

I must say the new pop up feature and....

...no longer needing to refresh are wonderful improvements.

very cool, i agree.

definitely cool

score tied, 4-4..

HK with an error. Sac fly and RBI double

4 - 4...O'K blows his first lead of spring.

O'day didn't get out of it

Oh, they hooked him?

I see 3 outs.

no, I meant he didn't get out of the jam

ah.

He's in line for the victory now...smart kid.

he got out of the inning but not unscathed

I comprehenday amigo.

I wonder if HK's error could have been

a double-play ball?

If so, it would have been an easy inning for O'K.

good point, can't tell from gameday

that is a problem now isn't it?

;)

Vlad batting

with one out, Figgins on 3rd

off topic

Do we know if all of SB Nation is moving to this updated format?

My guess would be "eventually."

But I think they have to do it one site at a time.

that's correct...

...i know the cardinals and cubs have moved. they are moving the most active sites first.

All the baseball blogs first

one site every two days, they work out more an more bugs each time, then they will probably do NFL and College Football blogs, eventually the whole network, yeah.

Jackflash are you listening to audio?

I would certainly think so...

he's a good 5 mins ahead of us!

Yes

We're still looking at Figgy's mug shot

on Gameday as "coming up next."

you get mug shots?

I am so ghetto...

If you are looking here:

LINK -to- GAMEDAY

You get them...

I doubt there is a text version of Gameday Box, unless you are looking at the "basic" box score. Try the link I listed above and you will be "movin' on up to the Eastside."

looks like

hunter's having a good outing.

BTW

GA is playing today, so I guess his knee isn't too badly injured.

and he went 1st to 3rd..

one a single to right, so he's still running as well..

This is really good news.

I think the management was siding with caution in keeping him out those couple of games.

And scores

on a wild pitch

Torii Hunter hits a bloop single..

..to right, GA moves 1st to 3rd.. runners on the corners..

pitching change in progress..

wild pitch, GA scores

Hey, you cheater...

you must be listening to the radio...coz gameday is still stuck on Figgins AB.

Yessir, normally blocked at work but somehow it started to work using older media player

Your IT Big Brothers...

are on the way to your desk!

shhh! They might hear you

6 - 4 going to top of 6th

Solid.

Here I thought my estimate of 3 runs through 5 was going to be excessive.

Gameday has almost caught up

Saunders threw 73 pitches against AAA team

missed rest of Hud's update, anyone else catch it?

Another error on Howie...

We need to cut that Kendrick kid...

he's "Figgins" horrible. ;)

HA!

Joking aside...

that's his fifth error in spring; not sure how many games that he has played in, but there have been 19 games possible he could have played in. So even if he has played in all of them, that is not a very good error rate. That projects out to 43 errors over a full season. AK had 19 in his 155-game Y2k campaign, his first full season.

Granted, it is SPRING, but, I just wished to point out something negative that is coming to the surface at this exact moment in time.

The comment on the audio was that both errors today were of the routine nature

Defnitely not good, seems like a lack of focus. Hopefully, he picks it up. Only perfect practice makes perfect...

I heard that Aybar made an error like that this past weekend...

and that is one of the big knocks on him...he can make the spectacular play, but can also botch the easy ones.

Let's hope they can work out these kinks NOW rather than during a heated battle with the Indians, Tigers, Red Sox or Yanks, when it might come back to haunt them.

Actually

they were just saying that Aybar has no errors this spring. Hud & Terry could be wrong, though.

My friend could be wrong...

he is known to be senile.

ERRORS

That is what Spring is for ... they are all just getting warmed up, retaining muscle memory and sharpening reflexes. i hope i hope i hope...

No one hurt, inning over

I'm looking at Gameday...

O'Day threw 7 pitches, 6 strikes. Man, that kid really can throw some strikes. Wonder what the count is after 2 innings...I am still awaiting Gameday to catch up.

Former Angel

Derrick Turnbow in to pitch the bottom of the 7th

Nice...all I can think about now...

is that nasty shot of him someone posted on HH about a week ago.

someone gimme the pxp....what's happening right now??? How many outs, men on base, etc....btw....hello to all my halo bros!

Bueller quote...

Rooney: "What's the score?"
Pizza Cook: "Nuthin-nuthin."
Rooney: "Who's winning?"
Pizza Cook: "THE BEARS!"

2 outs

Morales on 1st after drawing a walk. I forget who's on 2nd. Kotchman batting...hits a 3-run dinger, his 1st of the spring

Terry & Hud

commenting that Juan Rivera is dealing with some shoulder tendinitis.

By the way, score is now 9-4 us.

Nate Haynes

down on strikes to end the inning.

woohoo!!!

i can't wait to see this lineup take off on opposing teams :) I'm feeling pretty good about this lineup.

And Now...

Juan Rivera in to play 1B.

Oliver

does a fine job, striking out two while giving up a double; runner was stranded at 2nd.

Eric Gagne

in to pitch for the Brewers. A couple of vials and a syringe pop out of Gagne's pocket when he covers 1B on a ground ball.

Correct R - H at end of 5

6 and 6. This post is for you, scottnak

and

it doesn't look like there will be a save unless the Brew Crew makes a big comeback.

They only need to get 2 runs...

then it will be a save situation...unless the halos did more damage in the bottom half of the 8th?

score is now

11-4, after a Terry Evans RBI single

Dick gets a hit

Brandon Wood

gets his 1st single of the spring. Using a slightly lighter bat so he can wait a bit longer on pitches. Rivera goes 1st to 3rd after drawing a walk.

sounds like he hit it to the wall

Nice to see him getting some hits...

a good confidence boost here near the end of ST.

WP

scores Rivera, Wood to 2nd

Gagne picking up

right where he left off with Boston. Nice signing there, Milwaukee.

he is gonna get cut...

That would be funny

but no way they do that after signing him for $10 million

Surprised the Red Sox didn't re-sign him...

he was key to that World Series run (joke). Gagne now has something he never earned with the Dodgers...a ring.

doesn't that suck?

Yeah...it sucks he (and subsequently the Red Sox) got a ring.

I'm not bitter or anything! ;)

Aybar gets a base knock

runners on 1st & 2nd

Is it just my imagination...

or is Aybar's bat coming to life here this spring?

Jason Bulger

in to pitch the 9th

2 outs

both by strikeout (looking), sandwiched around a walk

Light Up the Halo

flyout to shallow right ends the game

light up the cactus!

Bulge Battles Through Brew

light up that cactus, already.
