Anyone having issues with FSN Prime?
Stuck frozen for me.

I know the goal here is to get Escobar some pitches
Against live competition, but should we be concerned that he’s getting roughed up in his first inning?
Who'd have thunk it...
The Pads are putting on a hitting clinic.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....

first impressions
escobars off speed was sick nasty. looks like mike had him sticking to fast balls and change ups (did i mention it looked great). some breaking stuff, but i think i only saw two or three. also, the pads were getting hits off nice pitches. meaning they were sitting on FB and then it came.
also. vlad is the man.

Yes FSN was giving me problems, I reset my Verizon Fios STB though and the 2nd time it worked.
The Angels have invaded Petco far more than Dodgers fans ever came to Anaheim.
Can someone tell me why Esky won’t just start in the Angels rotation. He’s filthy!
He's still on a limited pitch count.
But if he keeps throwing like this I imagine he won’t need that many rehab starts…
i am wondering the same thing
i mean i know why. but i damn it would be sweet.

Going to be a LONG year for the Padres...
Was listening to 710 today and Rick Sutcliffe was on and he said that 710 giving away tickets to the Angels/Padres, should have been more properly advertised as giving away tickets to see the Angels
I appreciate Figgy taking the outside slider
and not seeing him bite at it. Plate discipline ftw.
Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!
So, good news thus far: Escobar throwing fastball in mid-90's.
Offense being supportive.
Bad news: Kelvim a tad rusty on pitch location. Still, not bad.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Also in the bad news:
Defense = not so much.
Plugging the upside since 2006.

Hop Ottin!!
I emailed coveritlive and they are working on it for me.
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
Nobody gets it past Figgy!

I'm a little concerned by Figgins' 4 errors on the spring.
That’s a little too much like 06 defensive disaster Figgs for my taste.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Ouch, three straight breaking balls for strikes.
The ‘taking the breaking ball’ strategy DOES have a slight flaw.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
The ump expanded the outside corner.
So now Silva can live out there.
Though according to GD, they were all strikes.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Certainly doesn't seem to be anything wrong, just some first inning rust.

There we go.
Torii starting us off right.

dont do that!
Vlad cheated me. I thought he was 12.

Though to be honest, with Kelvim on deck I'm shocked Mathis is getting anything
within 5 feet of the plate.

Incidentally, now everyone in the lineup has to get a hit
or face brutal ribbing in the clubhouse.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Ugh. Defense not loving the Kelvim.
Get another DP.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Now Izzy with the error.
I really hope these guys have better concentration when it’s a real game.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Aw. Kelvim out.
Somebody give that man a standing O. He’s 3 months ahead of schedule and looks like he could pitch in a week and a half.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
This is the absolute truth.
My only caveat is that Carlos Silva just held the Pads to like 3 runs yesterday.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Come on Justin.
Find that strike zone.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
the only thing justin found last year was the cold end of the bench
Vlad cheated me. I thought he was 12.

The leash on Speier will hopefully be shorter this year.
He really seems to have lost his ability to pitch…or throw to 1B.
NICE play Izzy.
Makin’ up for that E earlier.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
get out those UN-inSpeiered posters Rev
we are going to need them
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
for the love of all that is Haloed
why didn’t they trade Speier for someone useful?
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
So, 2 unearned runs and we're tied.
Yay.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Er...1 unearned run, somehow Izzy's got called a hit.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
We have 2 errors. 1 is Figgs, the other is Justin.
Ergo…

the message should be
“ladybug, I am handing over all my tix to you” LOL
the quote was always free for the taking. It’s not mine!
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
Ha! I tried bartering that quote from you LAST season...
…can’t remember what I offered…something ridiculous. Couldn’t have 2 posters on HH with the same sig.
don't remember any 'same siggy' rule, but whatever. Steal away
Rev gives you any grief, I’ll go beat him up. During daylight hours of course. I don’t go to the ‘hood when it’s dark
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
Wha?? I never knew courage was sensitive to daylight.
Besides, have you seen his cleaning crew. Intimidating…
Oh...North Compton!
I work in South Compton (actually Rancho Dominguez).
There are lots of good people in these communities, surrounded by some real bad guys…I can understand your discomfort.
St Francis Med Ctr actually...took my daddy for his post op visit
only highlight is “spot Weird Al’s house”
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
Lynwood is home to Mr. Yankovich?
Who’d have know? So that’s where formulated the lyrics to
“…another one rides the bus…”
He was born in Downey and raised in Lynwood.
His mom and dad lived there for quite a while before they moved to Fallbrook (where they died a few years ago)
Yeah, closet Weird Al groupie here.
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
he had a cardiac bypass on the 24th
& is doing great. He’s been with us here since he was discharged last week
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
You suck Justin Speier. That is all.

Alright HK, kick into gear.
If Kelvim can do it, so can you.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Well, except for the whole no patience thing.
Still, when the pitcher hangs it there, screw patience, HIT THAT THING.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Precisely. FPS is justified if you get a hit.
And when the opp thinks they can throw you breaking strikes with impunity, you sit on it and nail one.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Now playing the part of Vlad:
some guy who can’t fist a jam ball into the outfield.

6-4. So to review: Juan doubles, Juice soft lines to short.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Just to be fair
I have to imagine the disappointment at not being a regular is hurting Juice’s concentration.
Unfortunately, that ain’t how it works GMJ.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Nah, I heard Torii and Q.
Howie’s presentation and coherence was a step up from both. Not as funny as Torii, but still, really good. No pause-words at all.
~Till the Halo burns out...
It's definitely not intended as a downcheck against the other guys though.
I really surprised.
~Till the Halo burns out...
He looked pretty good last night, too.
I wonder how much of that is just batters never having seen him before, though. Still, looking forward to seeing him in a few years.
Free seats on the roof for the people in the apartment across the way.
How’s that for a perk?"
~Till the Halo burns out...
Way to watch the fastball right down the middle while the runner is going there Gary.
Sheer luck is all that kept Willits safe right there. (Though he was safe)
~Till the Halo burns out...
Did you see that!?
F-Rod clearly went to some substance on his hat right there! /DMZ

Yeah, that's not really true Rory.
There are definitely some false numbers in there. The Royals game stands out prominently in that category.

Also, Baseball Ref did that pretty recently.
I’m pretty sure I was looking at stuff there like, yesterday and it was the same as always.
~Till the Halo burns out...
“same as always” – try to find Darin Erstad’s 2002 world series batting average in under 30 sec. While it used to be on the first page, now you have to hunt for it. I’ll get used to it, but in the blink of an eye I struggled while trying to write reports at work at the same time.

The way was before (albeit with plenty of useful information) was kinda cavemanish in its structure. They’ve done quite a bit to clean it up and make it easier to read.

They were stinking it up pretty bad while Escobar was on the mound.
And then Speier didn’t do himself any favors.

Im sure that lineup scares Heath Bell.......
