Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Giants win game, World Series chances improve

Quick, non-serious thoughts:

  • Brian Wilson has apparently lost his closer's job, as he came into the game in the fifth inning. I can't believe the Giants would do that.
  • Lincecum was a lock to start Opening Day, but even that's in doubt now. If he can only go one inning in his starts, he'll put a lot of stress on the bullpen. This reminds me of his early struggles last year, and we all know that he didn't recover from that.
  • Buster Posey has real problems with balls that hit the backstop on the fly. Look out, Fresno. If he can't catch pitches six feet above his head, maybe he does need more seasoning.
  • Aubrey Huff's home run proves he should be the cleanup hitter, and...wait, he really is the cleanup hitter? Well, that's not funny.
  • The offense, if it maintained an eight-run-per-game pace, would shatter every team offensive record in the books. Not bad for a team that most of you haters said was "awful", "repugnant","abominable", "ugly", "horrific", "ghastly", "dreadful", "abominable", "appalling", and "depressing." You were all wrong.
  • I don't know Ricky Orta, but I don't like him. Thomas Neal is probably writing the same thing on his blog right now.

It was pretty danged nice to listen to some baseball again, even if there isn't anything meaningful to take from it.

How did the kids perform?

Any info on any of the kids – GPoser, Bummy, Kiesch, Pill, Crawford etc?

Did they have good ABs?
Did they hit the ball hard?
Though Bummy’s velocity was around 88 how did he pitch?
Did Pillapalooza look good at 1b? At the plate?

So what was the story with the KNBR streaming coverage? Were they only allowed to do one inning, or did they manage to “sneak in” a bit of coverage before the MLB shut it down? What can we expect for future games on the radio?

by Seasick fish on Mar 3, 2010 5:30 PM PST reply actions  

Some of it was streamed on KNBR.com. I’m sure that which was, was a mistake (not them sneaking it in). If you expect to listen to a bunch of ST you should get mlb gameday audio. about half of the games are gonna be GDA only, anyways.
