Happy first spring training game day!

[sdcheezhd]

I'm getting the Brewers broadcast on Sirius and the Cubs broadcast and all others on mlb.com but not the Brewers one on mlb.com, anyone else having issues?

[pitchleague]

yup. It's just dead air on the Brewer broadcast on mlb.com

 

Disappointing

 

 

edit: It's working now. The audio sounds terrible compared to other broadcasts, though.

[Harold Hutchison]

Frustrating...

 

So is not jumping on the Scrubs from the outset...

[sdcheezhd]

Haha just tweeted them and the broadcast kicked in right away.

Corey Ray sporting the 5.000 OPS.

[Harold Hutchison]

Down 6-2 to the Scrubs...

 

I know its just spring training, but still... I don't like seeing the Crew losing...

[Harold Hutchison]

And Corey Ray cute the deficit down to three...

Just giving them false hope.

Not to brag but I'm a better pitcher than Aaron Wilkerson.

Wouldn't mind a DFA for him or Albers at this point...

 

The surprise for me... Grisham swings at the first pitch with a single to center. Really hope they get him to spray the ball to all fields.

It is going to be fun watching Ray have a monster year...I don't care that there are apparently at least 200 other better prospects - dude looks the part

I definitely have a feeling that Ray is going to be something special. He started putting it together last year and that swing looks pretty.

Ray has all the tools & think he has ability to make consistent enough contact to be a really good player. He has Rickie Weeks written all over him. Uber talented, when seeing ball good he is elite, when he is not seeing it... eek. I loved Weeks even with the rollercoaster extreme highs & lows at the plate. He could be a 40/40 guy.... lefty with 81 games in American Fam (by time he’s in prime) never hurts

 

Just watching that homer, those are some explosive wrist

Lo Cain future replacement

Arbitrary prospect ranking lists aside, Ray proved last year that he is the real deal. I hope/think that he's going to be a stud in San Antonio this year, and likely be getting MLB time by mid season, beating Hiura to the punch. He is the type of guy that can make a big splash early on in his career with quick wrists and quick-twitch type muscle response. Unfortunately that is also the type of play that often battles various injuries that can sap those gifts. That said, I think this is the year he establishes himself as a big-time, highly recognized prospect.

Lo Cain future replacement

 

Based on contract years, he’s more likely to be Braun’s replacement than Cain’s.

[NYChez]

Hernan Perez sporting the 5.000 OPS.

[trwi7]

Is Hernan Perez better than Mike Trout? I'll hang up and take your answer off the air.

[NYChez]

Infield is 7-for-8 with 8 RBIs in the fourth inning.

[JohnBriggs12]

Was mentioned during the broadcast that Perez played all last year with a sore wrist and that it's 100% now. Apparently it is. So there you go Cub fans. Yeah Bryant might be healthy now but so is Perez!

[Humans Need Water]

Zack Brown starting today and fingers crossed it's Turang filling in for a sick Dubon given the game is on TV.

 

EDIT: puke it's Orf in for Dubon even though Turang was on the travel list today

[Lathund]

I've only really followed ST for the last couple of years, but certainly seems like the Brewers stick a lot more to 1-inning appearances early on, while many other teams (Like the Angels today) have pitchers going longer than that from the start. No idea what's preferable, mind you.

[sveumrules]

Perdomo looks interesting. Kinda old for someone who'll be getting his first taste of AA, but sometimes it takes big guys longer to figure it out.
