Open Thread - ST Game #4 - Cubs at A's at Phoenix, AZ at Noon

Sometimes a good title makes all the difference.
Leave it to me to not know JJ was Rookie of the Year in The Netherlands in 2002.
Allegedly starting today (don't shoot me if he ends up coming in the game later on, who knows? Spring Training is a crapshoot LOL), is the A's latest signing Jason Jennings, who will get the ball and (we hope) be wailin' on the Cubs for 1 or 2 frames today. Don't worry, by the start of the regular season I'll be over my urge, as yet unstoppable, to make a dopey, facile reference to country music legend Waylon Jennings every time Jason makes a start or comes in a game.
Ah yes, the game... I am really hoping this game will be on the radio LOL OMG BBQ WTF is going on with the A's and the radio? The way the stuff with KTRB is unfolding borders on the dull side of insanity, where no one even has any fun and all you get is static and Michael Savage, which is really the same thing for anyone with ears. I'd write a whole piece about how the team's management should bury their collective heads in shame over what has happened with the radio station but it's only Day 4 of Spring Training and I want you to enjoy it.... even if you can't hear it.

Wondering why no MLB radio coverage today?
I noticed the game is not listed on MLB Gameday radio for some reason. Wonder why?
The greenmachine
it's not listed on KTRB's site as a game they'll cover
so I was assumign it woudl be on MLB.com audio…
Yep... no sign that there will even be a Buancast today.
This would be very crappy.

Link just showed up (as KTRB, for some reason)
We will get a Buancast! Yay!

REALLY?

well
the day game signal was a lot better in El Sobrante yesterday compared to last year.
I was visting my parents and there is a small radio in the guest bedroom. It has a non-digital dial so in the past I had to sloooooooowly turn the dial until I could hear the game faintly coming theough the static. This time I couldn’t find the game or the postgame show and thought “shoot, now I can’t get anything”. but there was one station coming in very clearly that sounded suspicously like sport talk radio so I left it on, to my amazment they announced it was KTRB 860! There was absolutley no static at all and besides the Michael Savage ad it sounded great. I didn’t know that the game was rained out so obviously I wouldn’t find the game but at least I know in the future I can catch a Sunday afternoon game on the radio while visiting my parents (which is a common occurence, we go over 2 or 3 times a month for Sunday dinner and the have a basic package from Dish Network so they don’t get CSNCA).

Oh its gone!!
Don’t even bother going back there.

if it's not on mlb.com audio then there's no A's broadcast
unlike previous years, when there always was an A’s broadcast, always on mlb.com and on weekends on the radio.
that would suck. This means if you want to listen to it the only option is the opposing team’s mlb.com broadcast.
At one point while listening to Hudson face the Tigers
gamedayaudio was telling me there wasn’t any games scheduled at all today. Obviously they were wrong.

;- ) :- ) :-O : -> : -] : -}
also - A's video highlights!!!!!!
over at CSNbayarea.com they have a higlight package from the A’s 8-7 win over the brewers. They show Sheets lone K, Eric Chavez make a nice play at 1B, Chavez hit his triple, and Rajai make a pretty, diving catch in LF and then pop-up in a cool karate/surfing pose. No sign of Buck’s HR or Recker’s 3 run bomb but it was still worth checking out

Buan says he visits AN "every once in a while"
But he can’t be bothered to come here very much.
The artist formerly known as HigherPie.
Buan got my e-mail, cool.
AN shout out! I asked if he ever visits the site and at first he said maybe a couple times but then probably not. He also mentioned he has barely had time to visit the players and hasn’t met a few.

We probably hurt his feelings years back
making fun of his complete ineptitude at doing radio PxP.
Not that I don’t appreciate having at least someone call ST games.
The artist formerly known as HigherPie.
yeah, probably
at least he knows I’m thankfull he is broadcasting. My subject line was “Thanks Robert!”
Hey Robert,
Glad you are broadcasting today, thank you very much for helping me get my baseball fix. You have a lot of people listening from Athleticsnation.com (http://www.athleticsnation.com/) and I was wondering if you ever visit the site to see what A’s fans are talking about?
I probably fudged the truth a little by saying “a lot of people” but whatever :-)

but if you said "the only people"
you would not be far off.

Its got to be tough for him
As I understand it he didn’t actively try to become a Bauncaster (I note that Ken Ko was calling it that last week) but the A’s made him do it as part of his job with the team.
I have never heard a bauncast, but I have read the legendary gamethreads.

Heya there pals
I am indeed awake & alive & I found the damn lineups for this alleged game, which I added above….
You guys gotta help me follow the game cuz I have NO IDEA what’s going on, it isn’t on MLB, it isn’t on the radio, and I ain’t pickin’ it up on my tinfoil hat so things are a little goofy.

A bad spring by Rajai could lose the LF job
Realsitically he’s a solid backup OF.
Hopefully Taylor or even Buck make this a tough decision
not in the spring IMO
maybe if he struggles in beginning of the season but I get the feeling that A’s brass gives him the job based on the 2nd half of last year.

Sweet E6 by the top draft pick.
Man, why’d we pick that guy?

(That was sarcasm, just to clarify.)
Stewart: "What really needs to be clear is it wouldn't have mattered if there was an earthquake or not. We were going to beat the Giants."
he had 18 errors last year at SC.
we were a horrible fielding team though. HORRIBLE.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
If he continues to pitch like he did today
we should definitely trade him to a division rival.

Apparently makes a good play to get the force out a second. 1 out.

Gonzalez/DLS are terrible today
2/3’s of the Swisher deal
I don't think Gonzalez was that bad
Considering how it started, getting out of it with 2 sac flies is a good sign given his history. 2 K’s and 0 BBs is also a good sign for him.

When I last lived in a apartment
I had a jerk who would let his alarm clock go for hours starting at 5 am.
my roommate back in the nineties who was a cocaine dealer
used to party all night and try to wake up an hour later. He would hit snooze literally ALL day, often times just letting it go for hours at a time without waking. He was, by far, the weirdest sleeper I’ve ever known.
