Open Gameday Thread, 3/27
It's finally here: The game that season ticket holders can't get rid of. This is also the first opportunity for partisans to mingle with partisans in Gameday Threads. You can test it out by going to Lookout Landing and doing the following:

Roberts is dealing with a knee issue:
In other health-related developments, left fielder Dave Roberts missed his third game in a row with a sore left knee but should be ready to play Friday against Oakland.

I've seen Dickey get rocked in Sacramento.
The Rivercats just waited him out, the knuckleball doesn't hit the strike zone much, and the fastball is BP.

are singles overrated?
he doesn't get many of those, either.
when you walk once every 20 at-bats, and you don't make up for it by, say, hitting OVER .253, or slugging over .420, you are not a good hitter. Randy Winn had more extra base hits. Feliz doesn't even have much power. It's just that 20 of his warning-track shots get lucky each year. His numbers will be bloated by that park and people will try to make silly "he's not that bad a hitter" arguments.

Yes. No disrespect to the likes of Rocky Koplik, but just by sitting in the booth with Jon Miller anyone's conversation becomes more interesting.
But all I really meant was the sound of his voice. I'm surprised, even compared with the relatively low fidelity of AM radio, at just how much life something like WMA compression at lower bitrates can suck out of the sound of the human voice.
Of course he's chosen to launch into a protracted monologue for the whole time I've been writing this. Breathe, Doug. Pace yourself.

I got called away to proofread something my wife is writing. Clearly I missed something unusual. Gameday says, "Ichiro Suzuki lines out sharply to shortstop Brian Bocock. Yuniesky Betancourt scores."
So, wtf?

Bockock threw to first to try to get the runner off the bag there. While everybody was looking at him being safe, Betancourt skipped home.

Excellent. Thanks.
Sad.
Best Neifi moment, by default: scoring on an infield fly.

I remember that play! It was against the then-Expos, in '03 I think. The Montreal guys complain after Neifi is called safe, and Frank Robinson comes out of the dugout to tell his own players they screwed up.

Yup, that's how I remember it too.
Veteran move on Neifi's part -- I have to admit that he excelled at contributing in situations that didn't require a bat, a glove, or actual running.

Perhaps the cameraman should play shortstop while Aurilia sleeps the good sleep. WTF!

Well that was disappointing...
Things to take away:
-Castillo is good enough thank you very much.
-Cain's great grandfather must have slapped a gypsy or something the way his luck is going.
-Bocock, good for double entendres, not so much for other stuff.
-It is fun to make the chugging noise of a train when Molina is running the basses.
-Holy shit Velez is fast.
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.

So I was in a hotel in Washington watching the game.
It was depressing.
I looked up Steve Kline in the dictionary. He wasn't there. If he was, it would have said "pretty okay"
