[Angrioter]

 

P: Drabek, Jeffress, Jenkins, Redmond

[gruber92]

Let's see what Drabek brings today.

[Angrioter]

I would have liked to see Lawrie batting in the second spot.

U want 3 righties in a row? Not that lineup construction really matters at this point I guess

I think the #2 spot is Melky's to lose

[jays4life19]

That's a pretty sexy lineup. (minus Goins). I'll still take any lineup that has Rasmus as your 7th hitter though.

 

 

... If only we had the starting pitching.

LHP Vs LHH is a myth (within the context)

[G-Snarls]

That's the opening day lineup on day 1 of spring. That almost never happens. I just wish they replaced Goins with Drew. I think Goins having a good spring is going to be the worst possible thing for this organization. I'm hoping he sucks so they realize they need Drew. At this point Drew knows hes only going to get 1-year and hes already willing to play second base according to Boras.

 

Facing this Roberto Hernandez, even Go-Go-Goins could go 2 for 3

[G-Snarls]

As for lineup, Gibby is taking this ST seriously. Wants the "real" team to "gel" methinks.

All defensive positions are secured.

 

Battle:

1-5th starter: Redmond Vs Rogers Vs Hutchison (Stroman no chance right now)

2-Backup catcher: Kratz Vs Thole

3-4th OF: Gose Vs Pillar (Sierra platoon guy lol)

[jays4life19]

2.05 odds on the Jays.

 

Not sure how long the regulars will play but it's worth 20 bucks for the hell of it.

[G-Snarls]

Jonn is right though, managers don't usually put ALL the regulars out together this early. But they'll probably only play 4-5 innings then let the others in. As usual. Edited February 26, 2014 by G-Snarls

Yeah

 

Same lineup 1-7 with Navarro and Drew (who is pretty much exactly a league average hitter) would potentially be one of the best in the league if Bautista and Cabrera had decent years.

I thought I was doing the GDTs? lol oops

He was saying if Lawrie was in 2nd spot then we would have 3 righties, i guess Lawrie, Bautista and Edwin.

Looks like the game will be on MLB.TV basic, does it also cost money?

[ninetwelve]

Thanks. Was wondering if I missed the memo on Cabrera abandoning his switch hitting and going full righty.

[bowld]

Game will be shown on MLB Network here in the states

Basic is the slightly-cheaper version of MLB.TV that doesn't let you watch the away team feeds or watch on certain devices. But you can still watch every game in HD. It's $109.99.

 

Premium is $129.99 but lets you pick your feed, download the AtBat app for free and watch on any device.

[flafson]

Bummer, i wanted to watch the game

Yes it does cost money. $19.99 a month or $109.99 a year I believe.

I was just about to purchase a month of MLB.TV until I noticed this.

 

Is MLB Network in Canada showing the game?

[Dylan]

[G-Snarls]

We have MLB Network in Canada now!

 

It's great that you can get it non TV

 

Sucks that you still can't on SiriusXM in Canada

[Dylan]

Do you have to have an account to watch it free on mlb?

[Dylan]

Debating about ordering it right now

[Sammy225]

Don't believe so. I got MLB At Bat for my phone and I know last year I could listen to spring training games for free.
