Did Branyan just break a bat purely through the force of his swing? I think he did.

 

Nice double.

My understanding is I can get the xm feed through the internet as well. perhaps it will be a better feed that mlb.com

 

beginning on I think April 1st, it'll be free. Until then I believe they charge a separate amount for the internet feed.

Attaboy Brady. (with an assist from the wind)

 

2 run triple. I'm seriously starting to consider picking Brady up off the waiver wire on my fantasy team. Granted it's only spring training, but I haven't seen anything to suggest he won't put up numbers similar to last season except with more ABs and thus more counting stats.

[cooprules]

Please keep your day job, Kent.

Exactly what is a "Texas Hopper to 2nd"?

Actually I believe that's when you slam the ball down into ground and it hops up very high towards the outer edge of the infield.

 

Sort of like a pop-up that has already hit the ground.

 

I totally agree that Kent should keep his day job though, and he needs to get off the helium whenever anything good happens.

I think he's mixing two cliches.

 

A "Baltimore chop" is as described above, a ball hit down into dirt in front of plate that bounces high to an infielder.

 

A "Texas Leaguer" is a bloop hit.

Please keep your day job, Kent.

 

Now we know why he's the producer/engineer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

On the other hand, I'm sure it's fun for him to get a shot at being the one talking..

[DHonks]

I asked Huston Street if there are more Texas Leaguers in the Texas League, but he said he really didn't notice a difference. Just thought I'd mention that

[deeswan]

Kent has a habit of misstating cliches and mixing metaphors. After all, for Kent "Spring Hopes Eterny."

My boss actually took that picture while he was in AZ last week. He didn't even pick up on the fact that it looked like Corey was scoping Donelly out...

Is this game on 620 wtmj? Or is it even on the radio?

[scoop53714]

..in case you missed it....

 

It appears that Lee's hand is broke. scout.com or mlbinsider.com is saying opening day is in doubt due to a broken hand.

 

Not good. I friggen hate jamey wright. This is sickening. Here we go again. Even when he comes back his hand will feel very weak for a long time.

[ja002h]

Nope, webcast only.

[Getpaddled]

Suck! Sucky Sucky Suck Suckyy Sucky Sucky Sucky Sucky

 

Jamey Wright must DIE.

[ja002h]

Uh, SBS already is. Look on p1.

[sheetswannabe]

I want Jamey Wright's head!!!

[Ando Calrissian]

considering the injury to lee, now's the time to ask the question: if lee is indeed out for the opening of the season, who starts in left field? jenks, hart, cruz, or someone else?

[ja002h]

I want Jamey Wright's head!!!

 

I want the rest of him in very small pieces.

[rluzinski]

Depending on what bone he broke, it may heal quickly. let's not get too worked up until we get an official verdict. Now is definetely the time to break it.

 

I say he'll be good to go in 6 weeks.

[scoop53714]

Hold the phone...

 

the article claiming Lee's hand is broke is dated 3/13. He didn't even have his MRI at that point so apparently this is a bogus claim.

 

Lee's hand may not be injured after all......

[Ando Calrissian]

thank goodness. i think i can start breathing again.
