Giants on TV again on Tuesday/Open GameThread, 3/16

Straight from the source:

FYI, the blackout has been lifted in the San Francisco Giants' local television market for MLB Network's simulcast of the Giants at Cleveland Indians Spring Training game tomorrow, March 16, live at 2:00 p.m. Pacific. MLB Network will carry Sports Time Ohio's call of the game.

This will allow me to finish that 3,000-word scouting report on Felix Romero that I've been planning for a while.

It’s actually at 1:05 PM PT on STO and a 1 hour delay on MLB Network. Don’t know what everyone here will do though: follow the live feed or the MLB Net one hour delay feed.

Last night’s game was supposedly on Comcast, so I don’t see why this one wouldn’t be — they were/are both on DirecTV. If you get Fox Sports Ohio (the Cincy station), you probably get Sports Time Ohio (the Cleveland one) — they’re usually within a couple stations of each other.

Uh no.

If you have ever been to a Warriors game, you will realize that most Warriors fans are pretty intelligent about basketball. Laker fans on the other hand. LOL. They need cues from the announcer to know when to clap, and when to cheer. Laker fans are flaky. If they had two or three losing seasons, that stadium would be half empty.

you don’t know the whole story there, he’s not a season ticket holder anymore because the Warriors basically stole the idea and used it to make shirts and all that, thus not giving him any credit or money for the idea. He didn’t like the fact that happened, so he felt there was a problem there

this isn’t about good team/bad team. This is about a professional organization that continuously and callously screws over their fan base by ripping apart teams that show a spark of potential…over and over and over again. It’s different than being merely inept (eg, Giants).

by PiKAgiant on Mar 16, 2010 10:37 AM PDT up reply actions  

I hate the Cohan ownership but I disagree with this. The We Believe team was the only Warriors team in my lifetime as a fan that showed potential. And even that was the potential to be a top 5 seed. It was in no way a championship caliber team. They loaded a very unfriendly JRich contract for a top-3 projected big in a strong draft.
Giants fans should know that fanship shouldn’t be dependent on management (even if its strategy is mediocrity and putting butts in seats), but for LOVE OF THE GAME.

Funny story about this

I actually meant to go to the Tex game; me and my friend were trying to drive from Phoenix, where we’re staying, to Surprise, where the game was.

We ended up getting pretty lost on the way to surprise, and we saw some lights which were obviously a baseball stadium off in the distance.

We had no idea where we were and we decided that, fuck it, we were going to go watch whatever baseball game was going on in that stadium.

It turned out that we were in Peoria, and it was the Padres vs Giants game. I ended up going to a game that I didn’t mean to, but I still ended up watching the Giants.

Looking up the Census stats on Wikipedia, Tallahassee is just under 5% Latino. I don’t know what percentage of that would be Mexican. Florida’s Latino population in general is overwhelmingly Cuban, but we’re too far north for large numbers of Cuban exiles.

Georgia does have a growing Mexican population, and we’re quite close to South Georgia, but it doesn’t seem to have happened here.

Gameday is Flash. You can’t block it. If it feeds more Flash that pops up an annoying ad that covers the pitch-by-pitch text we want to read, how exactly is adblock going to block just the annoying code, but nothing else?

Rotoworld: Steve Johnson sent back

Orioles accepted Rule 5 selection RHP Steve Johnson back from the Giants.

Johnson, who was the 19th pick of December’s Rule 5 draft, allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work with the Giants this spring. The 22-year-old right-hander was acquired by the Orioles from the Dodgers in the George Sherrill trade last July. He finished 12-7 with a 3.41 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 27 games (25 starts) between both organizations last season. Though he won’t make the Giants, Orioles fans will happily welcome the Maryland-boy home.

I think that Wellemeyer should be the fifth starter for the beginning of the year because they really only need to use the fifth start 2 or 3 times. So while that is going on in the bigs, down in fresno Bumgarner and Pucetas can duke it out

Pucetas has had the better spring, but I think Wellmeyer has the inside track because he has pitched pretty well and, more importantly, because of the contract he signed. Wellmeyer’s contract dictates that the Giants have to let him know what their plans are for him in the next week or so. If Wellmeyer doesn’t like what the Giants say, he can demand his release. That probably means that if he’s not going to be in the rotation, he’ll be gone. I’m not sure if he’d be satisfied with pitching long relief.

That’s too bad, since I was thinking Wellemeyer would be a good fit as a swing man, while Pucetas is clearly winning the fifth starter spot. Perhaps that’s why they gave Johnson back to the O’s, they already knew that Wellemeyer was their guy and they know they’ll need an open roster spot for him.

I’m picturing Pucetas making the team and pitching long relief. Then, if Wellemeyer falters, Pucetas can maybe get a spot start or two and Wellemeyer can be moved to the pen.

Damn, sounded better then it actually was.

Nice try Bowker.

Well, that was an unfun inning. Hopefully they won’t take that inning loss to hard, and come back out and win the next one.

Molina calling bad game

what other explanation could there be?

unpossible

it was FANTASTIC to see him and Holm back there handling the pitchers! Get that work in boys!

Rohlinger can pick it

Just got back from the game

I won’t spoil the ending (lol!), but it was a lot of fun.

Tim looked good even though he got a little lit up. He at least looked comfortable.

Watching both Velez and Torres start was pretty painful.

Pucetas impressed again.

I forgot the obvious final stat: three outs. Now that is efficient.
