PrintStraight 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.

Good thing all i have is a Biedrins/Murphy/Richardson/Monta/Curry jersey… but to be honest, i kinda do think they’re pretty intelligent and faithful, what else are we supposed to do? i mean, why wouldn’t we have a Monta jersey? or a Jackson jersey? NOt our fault they left
anyone willing to keep watching such a pathetic example of professional[?] sports, let alone paying to watch, could be classified as an idiot.

Damn, they’re the hometown team and I’ll support them through good and bad. Those 2007 playoffs were so awesome and eventually the Warriors will get back to being good again. When that happens, I’ll be glad that I’ve stayed with the team, rather than be some bandwagoner

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
Sounds liek the Giants stealing the “Ks” on the right field wall from the guy who started doing it.

Exactly! this is pretty much how i feel always about the warriors, and how i felt about the Tigers when i was a fan of them through their terrible days… then they were good, and then came the bandwagoners
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).

Then that’s the same thing as the pittsburgh pirates… No matter what happens man, i’ll forever be a Warriors fan, no way in hell i’m changing that to be a laker fan, or a King fan, or anything else, always have been a warriors fan, and when they made the playoffs it was one of the best things to happen
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.

NO KIDDING, i’ve never seen so many places for fast food in my life while i’ve been here, there’s never fresh grown products in the grocery store, it’s always from like Chile or outside Ohio
That’s not true around here, though. Tons of farmers markets and grocery stores tapped into local food. There is plenty of fast food as well, though. You have a choice.

That’s kind of how Tallahassee is, too. Although my mother tells me there’s almost no food sold at the largest farmers’ market (it’s all crafts and stuff like that).
However, the Chinese and Mexican food is terrible, and that is sad.

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.

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.

They are going to keep Bengie no matter what. And I don’t think we need to further complicate things with Posey by Yo-Yoing him between catching once a week 1B, some OF or God knows where else so he can stay in the lineup.
Send him down, delay his service clock, then bring him up June 1st so he is ready to run.

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.
Seasons will pass you by. I get up, I get down.
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.

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.
Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.

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

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.

My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
