Split Squad Friday

As you probably noticed, we had some downtime today due to ever increasing traffic. So thanks for that, I think. Now that that’s been resolved — mostly, I’m still working to improve — and we’re behind schedule, let’s quickly acknowledge that the Dodgers are playing two simultaneous games and have zero of their expected starting outfielders in — Matt Kemp makes his spring debut at DH, Carl Crawford has been slowed by nerve irritation in his left arm and may not be ready for Opening Day, and Andre Ethier was scratched with a blister — to get to the lineups. The game in Tempe against the Angels is currently on Fox Sports West and will have Hyun-jin Ryu followed by Matt Palmer, Shawn Tolleson, Paco Rodriguez, and Chris Reed. Back at Camelback Ranch, the game is not televised, which is too bad — not only is Kemp in, but Zack Greinke is on the mound, and that game will also have Zach Lee. More to come later…

Anyone know if tomorrow's game is on the radio?

 @DeucesWild Oh, hey! Thanks! I didn't even think to look at dodgers.com. Do you know what's up with the games on MLBN (delay)? Do they stream on the computer for free, or are they only for people with subscriptions?

 @DeucesWild REALLY?!?! Hallelujah! Now if we can only get a la carte cable...

 @LA_Woman Unfortunately, that's about it. The blackout stuff may be resolved though since there's an ongoing lawsuit to remove it

 @DeucesWild Ah, so MLBN = MLB Network. I am so confused about MLB online, MLBN, MLBTV, and etc. I guess I should just assume I can't see anything for free in LA on my computer. Unless I do the pirate thing.

 @LA_Woman It's probably the same as what happened yesterday. The live feed goes to the local market, then they show the replay on MLB Network. I'm not sure about online, I just have the channel through my cable provider

2 losses in one day.  Hopefully today was the last of Matt Palmer.

 @plaza234 And Uribe (among several others)

 @DeucesWild Is Puig going to start the year at AA or AAA?  He looks pretty good in the few at bats he's gotten so far.

 @plaza234 The outfield is pretty crowded in AAA though. I'd rather they ease him into the higher caliber pitching while getting plenty of at bats in

DeucesWild

 @plaza234 Almost definitely AA since he doesn't even have a year of pro experience under his belt

Finally saw the Moz. I've been a Smiths fan since I was Jake's age, so seeing How Soon Is Now and The Boy With a Thorn in His Side live was long overdue. Good mix of newer and older material, but no Suedehead though. Can't always get what you want, but it doesn't hurt to Ask me Ask me Ask me ;)

@DeucesWild If it has a melody, I will always give new music a try. I'm fond of Sepultura's Beneath The Remains.

@DeucesWild Ah, I enjoy a lot of older music. 80- present, but I will indulge in Blues and Jazz as well.
