  1. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! *** This is a production of Fox Sports Kansas City. However, it's a "shared" broadcast that Brian and Bill will also participate in. The FSN Wisconsin TV listing page indicates it will be live on their "alternate channel", whatever that might be. EDIT: WLMW (see below, thanks for the update). If you want to stream on your PC, subscribers, here's the audio page (Royals' feed) via MLB.com. The TV feed is there, too. Box score here Gameday can be found here. XM radio for the Royals' audio at 178.
  2. Sunday's Rattler photo album posted by Chris.
  3. In the Gord Ash interview linked in our audio thread, Ash indicated that it was his late idea to bring Erick Almonte to major league camp, and that Almonte was close this winter to being considered for coach / scout status than player status. Great story, expect national types to pass along the tale of the former Derek Jeter substitute who was last in a big league uniform in 2003.
  4. WSSP continues to kick some serious butt with their coverage -- 03/27/11 - Sunday's Spring Training Live, Hour 1 This includes Ron Roenicke's media session (post Morgan-trade) and Takashi Saito 03/27/11 - Sunday's Spring Training Live, Hour 2 Starts off with an interesting Gord Ash chat and Rickie Weeks The stand-alone interviews: 03/27/11 - Rickie Weeks 03/27/11 - Takashi Saito You don't have to respond, but hoping that folks are finding this thread convenient. Not aware of another like it on the interwebs...
  5. Gord Ash indicated today that Jonathan Lucroy will work out for a couple of days at Brevard County next week before then moving on to Jacksonville, where he will participate in rehab games with the Stars during their opening series there (4/7 thru 4/11). So it won't be a backdated DL stint for Lucroy, there won't be a 4/6 return date. At least we can get first-hand accounts from the Stars' radio staff -- oh wait, road game, no Stars-based audio. Sorry, cheap shot. No, not really. There will be coverage by the Suns' media, at least mentions.
  6. Ranger fans and Dave's parents George Herbert Walker and Barbara must be pleased.
  7. LHP Sam Narron is starting the split squad game in Surprise Monday vs. the Royals. That game will be televised on FSN with a shared effort with the Royals' broadcast crew. Of course most of the Brewers' regulars will be in Maryvale. Between both games, look for lots of minor leaguers -- heck, plenty of rookie ball kids will need to fill in at the higher levels in the minor league games. *** White Sox 2, Brewers 1 (box) Shea Vucinich, Sergio Miranda, Kentrail Davis, Khris Davis (Uecker must have had fun with those two), Scooter Gennett, Taylor Green, and Sean Halton all saw action. 1-for-10 combined, Scooter with the lone hit (and RBI).
  8. Morgan is in his final year of being pre-arby, another site listed him at $427,000 for 2011. Morgan was added to a 40-man roster prior to the 2007 season, and options were used in 2007 and 2008, so should it come to that (unlikely), it appears he has an option remaining.
  9. Highlighted players have been spotted since this initial update -- SS Yancarlos Ortiz, the recently signed minor league free agent C Sean McCraw SS Michael Marseco C Michael Melillo RHP Corey Frerichs LHP Evan Frederickson RHP Jose Oviedo RHP Tyler Thornburg (yes, let's please see him in the next 48 hours or so...)
  10. On a related note, looks like the Rattlers and Peoria Chiefs will play at Miller Park on Wednesday, June 29th. This blog post will probably prompt a more formal announcement from the clubs soon. This was scheduled to be one of the Time Warner Cable 32 TV broadcasts, not sure if that will still be the case. (The Brewers play in Yankee Stadium that night.)
  11. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is LHP Zach Braddock, LHP Mitch Stetter and RHP Mike McClendon. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is OF Kentrail Davis (99), OF Khris Davis (25), INF Scooter Gennett (94), OF Caleb Gindl (77), INF Taylor Green (95), 1B Sean Halton (96), OF Lee Haydel (93), INF Sergio Miranda (97), INF Shea Vucinich (91), RHP Marco Estrada (92), RHP Mike Fiers (90), RHP Donovan Hand (98) and RHP Roque Mercedes (66).
  12. Honestly, there are aspects about the Cubs that are pretty impressive, and in any analysis, you could make a case for 1-2-3-4 in the division. I believe Baseball America has Cincinnati 4th, so where's the respect there? The 4th place prediction by USA Today isn't so much an insult, but the whole "awful" comment indicated here doesn't make sense.
  13. Doug Melvin: "No one is probably going to win a regular job down here," Melvin said, "but Justin James is a pitcher that we really like. We got him on waivers from Oakland and he's come out of the bullpen and thrown better than maybe was anticipated.
  14. One of the Nashville site updates indicated he pitched in Thursday's intrasquad games, for which we likley won't see box scores.
  15. McCavy: Maldonado will be No. 1 catcher at Nashville On a slightly related note for the curious, I contacted "coach" a month ago and asked him about Angel Salome, what, if anything, happened and what went on this offseason. A brief response -- Nothing new, he was taking a break from baseball but it now looks like he might get back in and take the bull by the horns we will see soon. With the September call-up two years ago, he got a taste of the big league lifestyle. And just to walk away -- nothing new since that response from coach. But if you remember back to this April 2010 post, you can get a sense of just how similar Angel's situation is to Zack Greinke, or perhaps more scary in concept, how close Zack Greinke's situation is to Angel's. We'd prefer this particular thread not become a Salome thread, but knew folks had been asking. We continue to wish him well.
  16. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! *** Bob and Cory with the WTMJ call. Here's your audio page via MLB.com. Box score here Gameday can be found here.
  17. 3/26/11 -- Saturday's First Hour of WSSP's Spring Training Live Show (includes Ron Roenicke's media session) 3/26/11 -- Saturday's Second Hour of WSSP's Spring Training Live Show (includes excellent interview with Seattle's Jack Z.) Included within those two hours are these individual interviews, EXCEPT for the Chris Narveson interview, click below for that -- 03/26/11 - Zach Braddock 03/26/11 - Corey Hart (not pleased with the 4th place prediction of the USA Today scouts contacted) 03/26/11 - Chris Narveson 03/26/11 - Brandon Kintzler
  18. The Nashville front office guys wrap up their AZ visit.
  19. Brewers 2, Mariners 1, ten innings (box) Young outfielder Chad Stang (0-for-1, K) continues to earn visits to the big league side of things.
  20. Yes, a "Bleacher Report" nugget -- Exclusive with Top Milwaukee Brewers Prospect Logan Schafer
  21. Catcher Mike Rivera, infielder Edwin Maysonet and reliever Mark DiFelice were told they would not make the club but will remain in camp until the end. Second baseman Eric Farris was optioned to Class AAA Nashville; this is the first option used on Farris. He can bounce between AAA and MLB for the next three seasons -- a very Gamel-like situation. The change instituted a couple of years ago in which players did not have to be added to 40-man rosters until after four professional seasons instead of three for Rule 5 eligibility makes it seem like college selections such as Farris are under team control even longer than usual.
  22. Chris Mehring with wonderfully crafted fun detailed updates from Rattlers camp. LINK LINK
  23. Sounds Double Up Bats In Spring Action, 6-3 Nashville Sounds GOODYEAR, Ariz. - The Nashville Sounds continued their winning ways in spring training action on Friday afternoon, doubling up the Louisville Bats (AAA-Reds), 6-3, at Goodyear Development Complex. The Sounds' offense scored five runs in the second frame thanks to back-to-back home runs by catcher Patrick Arlis and outfielder Caleb Gindl. Outfielder Chuckie Caufield enjoyed a three-hit game for Nashville. Right-hander Josh Butler made the start for Nashville and allowed two runs on four hits over three innings of work, throwing 57 pitches. Roque Mercedes and Mike Fiers both offered two scoreless relief innings for the Sounds, sandwiched around a David Johnson appearance (2 IP, 1 R). The Sounds (2-5) head back to Goodyear on Saturday, when they face the Columbus Clippers (AAA-Indians). *** We'll likely get Friday box scores soon. Don't expect Thursday intrasquad boxes it would seem, as the Sounds blog hinted at earlier, they were pretty loosely played.
