NOON
Giants @ Angels
Matt Cain V. Jered Weaver
Bengie Molina will start his first game of Spring Training. Joe Nickerson has a detailed article about the hindsight wisdom of not re-signing Bengie Molina. He posts Bengie's numbers from 2006 and '07 and they match up well with the Napoli/Mathis tandem. What he misses, though, is that Molina's similar production would have cost much more than NapThis and that we have had two seasons of MathPoli seeing major league pitching and handling a major league dish.
Pregame-Gasm Guesses:
1. Yes or No: Will Jered Weaver record at least 9 outs?
2. Yes or No: Will Torii Hunter make more than 2 plate appearances?
3. Which team will score first?

Molina was...
getting much worse behind the dish - the baseball dish that is. I don't think he has any problems behind a dish of food. I don't regret letting him walk one bit.jimmuscomp - March 6, 2008

Lackey Update from Bill Plunkett
OC Register:LINK -to- BLOG (OC Register)
Quick excerpt:
John Lackey just finished a 41-pitch bullpen session and said he felt great, no pain in the elbow for a few days now.
"I felt really strong today," said Lackey who finished the session with an unarmed Mike Scioscia standing in as batter. "I'm definitely encouraged. Ready to roll."
Downing Rules - March 6, 2008
Physioc sounds fine...
on radio. But, then again, I am not one of the big anti-Phys fans, like most folks are here at HH. This is my first time to hear him on the radio broadcast.Downing Rules - March 6, 2008
He has progressively gotten better each day
He really sucked the first day I listened, and I'm not a Phys-hater either.101halo - March 6, 2008
Way to go Vladdie!

Why the Phys haters?
i really don't think he's that bad, TV or radio.could be worse... we could have to suffer through Joe Morgan.
howiestheman - March 6, 2008
I agree...
Phys and Hud are my favorite broadcast team in all of baseball.thetooth - March 6, 2008
Physioc knocks (from polls) ...
States the obvious.Babbles on about nothing.
Talks during the action.
I don't have any problems with him, though, but this is what I have read here at HH.
Downing Rules - March 6, 2008
Talks during the action?
isn't that the job of a "play by play" anouncer?i like everyone where they were...though Rory does on both TV and Radio.
TV- Phyz & Hud
Radio- Rory & Terry
Studio- Gubby

SCHalo - March 6, 2008
oops...
forgot the words too much in there. Thanks for proofreading. But, honestly, I like Phys, so I was simply re-stating the issues OTHERS have with him. Party on.Downing Rules - March 6, 2008
no worries DR
i knew where you were coming from and i'm in agreement with you on our announcers.SCHalo - March 6, 2008
Alfonzo was 0 for 17

"It was out past the light pole and
in the bushes!"44FAN - March 6, 2008
Oh, oh....
there's another Physioc knock ...Just start loving on the Red Sox. He had a discussion with himself right now about Dave Roberts' great steal of 2nd base to slay the Yankees in 2004.
Downing Rules - March 6, 2008
PHYSIOC: Always Talking About Another Game...
...Other Than The One We Are Watching... and it is going to be worse on the radio I fear...And major MAJOR fawning over teams that are trendy and winning - Red Sox, talks about the Yankees like Babe Ruth is going down on him in the booth, was an Ozzie Guillen apologist after 2005 for a little bit even...
