Open Thread: Spring Training Game 29

It looks like tonight's exhibition game between the big club and AAA Sacramento will either be on as a free preview of MiLB.TV or it won't. Reports are varied. Ahhh...the clarity of the Spring Training schedule. I guess we'll have to be surprised.
Just in case, though, this thread can also double as "Guess the A's starting 2007 Roster!" or we can use our magic powers to guess how Estaban Loaiza is pitching tonight.
I've said it before, but I really feel that Loaiza and Blanton are going to be the A's keys to success. Simply put: The A's need to pitch well to win. Unless I'm pleasantly surprised, and our entire offense has a better year than 2006, our pitching will be the most crucial piece to make this 2007 team competitive.
Start the countdown...the season’s a’comin’!

Pub Svc Announcement: downloadable schedule
On the A's' official site, you can download the home or full game schedule into M$Outlook or Palm. Well, not really sure YOU can, but I'm no geek and I did. And I'm old, too.

...the problem is...the A's game is not listed as an audio/video choice, even though it's supposed to be a free preview of MLB.TV tonight.

The free preview...
...is supposed to be on MiLB.tv. However, I can't find a link anywhere.
If nothing else, it looks like the Rivercats broadcast is available for free on MiLB audio (link).

Hmmm...
The Sacramento Bee does not list this game in its radio listings for today and it's not mentioned on the radio station's website either. They might be doing a webcast...or my link above may be bogus. As BBG says, we'll find out at 6:05.

Who exactly is Dallas Braden?
and why is he pitching?
by Squeaky on Mar 29, 2007 6:44 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
he had a great
season in the minors before getting hurt. i think he even won some sort of minor league pitcher of the year award, or something like that (too lazy to look it up).
his potential is limited though. he's a "gimmick" pitcher and throws a screwball/knuckler. scouts think the best he'll ever be is a journeyman reliever, if he makes it to the Show

Doesn't it appear that the abbreviations on the PxP are eventually going to be showing Speed (Spd) and Break (Brk) of the pitches? Or is that just me?

by dbeach13 on Mar 29, 2007 6:46 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
since the news
has come out...all i have seen people say is good.
while durazo may put up similar numbers as johnson, his fielding is considered a downgrade.
at least with johnson there is still some potential for a great season. with durazo we'll just be hoping for league average..
by dbeach13 on Mar 29, 2007 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
How you figure that?
In Durazo's last healthy season he put up one of the best OPS in the league. Johnson has never been great (even in the minor leagues), and I'm not sure how one would ever expect Johnson to be great. I do feel bad for Johnson on a personal level, though.
by BlameChannel53 on Mar 29, 2007 7:01 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
durazo vs dj
looking at the stats...i am impressed with durazo's 919 OPS back in 2004. However that was three years ago.
in 2005 DJ had a OPS of 805 at age 25
in 2005 Durazo had a OPS of 674 at age 30
both players had their problems in 2006...so you can't really compare there.
I feel we'll be hoping for Durazo to somehow reach a 800 OPS, while I feel at age 27 DJ could have topped is 2005 high.

by PosterNutbag44 on Mar 29, 2007 6:47 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
So the question is
Who will make the team?
Travis Buck?
Erubiel Durazo?
Daric Barton?
I think the battle is between Buck and Durazo. If Durazo goes up, he plays 1B. If Buck comes up, he plays RF and Swisher plays 1B.
by Zonis on Mar 29, 2007 6:51 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
i'm pretty confident this is what will happen
Durazo will start at 1B to open the season.
Buck will be in AAA and get regular ABs without starting his clock.
Durazo/Swisher platoon at 1B and Swisher/Kielty platoon in the OF.
If Durazo struggles at 1B (offensively or defensively) the A's will call up Buck (if he isn't struggling horribly in AAA).

Gameday shows oakland up 9-4 in the 6th. The video feed shows completely different players on the field than Gameday shows. Audio is all static. The radio broadcast link is down. And AN is suddenly deathly quiet.
What gives??

Indeed!
Our starting pitcher is MIA...and is supposed to start the second game of the season.
One CF is already out, and the other one is missing.
We don't have a firstbaseman right now...
WHAT IS GOING ON!

yikes, just got in and go to last post
and see this.
by ak_A on Mar 29, 2007 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I still have both video and audio
But I can see why a lot of people have given up on this game...video and audio didn't start until the second inning, you have to log in to them separately to get them both, and they're about 2 seconds out of synch. I believe the score is OAK 9, SAC 7 in the top of the 8th.
If MiLB.tv was trying to impress people with this "free preview", they didn't succeed.

The million dollar question...
Who's pitching?
And for bonus, where the hell is Loaiza?

that's what I thought. I just watched an entire movie, for pete's sake, and the game still isn't done?
I blame the aliens.

Haven't heard anything about either
Melillo pops to CF, Furmaniak can't score, Two Buck Chuck now batting, and singles to RF to score Furmaniak. 9-8 A's.

I guess all the ST still photos
tended to mask that stripe.
I went back and looked at a few. It's often hidden...
....but not on TV! Yowsa!

Yeah, I'd like to do that too.
of course...I'm in charge because Blez decided to move three days before the season starts. I blame him for tonight. ;-)

I keep thinking
that Ruby will have a great comeback year and DJ will get traded.
by Sixto on Mar 29, 2007 9:14 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
DJ doesn't need to be traded
He's out for a while now
by baseballgirl on Mar 29, 2007 9:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think DJ will come back in a couple of months,
Find his position being played beautifully by Durazo, and get traded before the deadline to some .500 team that thinks he'll put them over the hump in exchange for a prospect. Long live T-Rex!!
