LOL you funny

Thought they'd pull Miley after that at bat

1. Did you expect anything less from Selig? 2. I love both but have to work in an hour

This is cool but wish there wasn't another week of ST after these 2 games.

He may have slipped then "Bejing" by mistake. LOL. You guys catch that?

@jonmorosi: Dodgers announce 25-man Opening Day roster, with Beckett, Billingsley and Kemp all on the DL. Figgins and Mike Baxter are on the team.

Aust fans getting ripped off a bit by the missing star power

LA Times: While the Dodgers were preparing to land in Australia on Tuesday, back at Camelback Ranch some of the players they left behind were back at work Monday. Right-hander Zack Greinke tested his sore calf, apparently without problem against a Class-A Padres team. He threw four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit. The Dodgers said he used all his pitches, had one fielding play and covered first base on another. He threw 42 pitches, 32 for strikes. Matt Kemp, recovering from foot surgery, is still trying to find his stroke. He went 0 for 3 with a pair of strikeouts and a walk. He played four innings in center field. Carl Crawford, who remained behind on paternity leave, had a single in three at-bats. He also stole a base after reaching on an error. He played five innings in left field and reportedly ran well. Brandon League and Dan Haren also remained behind, but neither pitched in the minor league game. http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgersnow/la-sp-dn-zack-greinke-carl-crawford-matt-kemp-action-20140317,0,4470727.story#ixzz2wekk03GE

MLB.com: GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers manager Don Mattingly reluctantly conceded Monday that injured pitcher Zack Greinke won't have a sufficient foundation of pitches to start in Australia later this month. Greinke played catch Monday and reported improvement in his strained right calf, but Mattingly said Greinke's return to a mound remains unknown. "From a standpoint of having 90 pitches, he won't be there," Mattingly said. Greinke was injured four pitches into his first start on Thursday. The Dodgers leave for Australia on March 16, and Mattingly said Greinke needs to throw a bullpen session before he returns to game action, and he needs to have his arm strength built up to throw 90 pitches in order to start a regular-season game.

ESPN: The opening series at the Sydney Cricket Ground was planned between Australian officials, MLB, the players association, the Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The teams open their seasons more than a week before the other MLB teams. Zack Greinke recently said that there was "zero excitement" for the Dodgers' season opener against the Diamondbacks in Australia. Greinke, the Dodgers' No. 2 starter, presumably would pitch one of the games. "I would say there is absolutely zero excitement for it. There just isn't any excitement to it," Greinke told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "I can't think of one reason to be excited for it." The Dodgers responded to the uproar from Australia by explaining that the team, as a whole, is looking forward to the excursion. "Zack has this endearing, contrarian quality to him that we all know and love about him," Dodgers president Stan Kasten said. "He's famously focused and meticulous about his training regimen. It's what makes him so good and such a great teammate. This is clearly going to alter his routine. I understand that aspect of it.

Oh the buyout is that cheap? Yippee cay yeah.

No. What good is throwing 100 goddam miles an hour if every batter knows he doesn't have to swing at it in order to get on base??

5.2 That 6.7M option for 2015 is looking pretty iffy for him

Happ is f***ing up the whole thing. He really is. They traded for him, are paying him too much money and he might cause trouble if they leave him out of the rotation. And at the same time, I don't think anyone thinks he's one of the 5 best starters in the organization. I soooo wish they could trade him away.

Cool. Cause right now baseball only seems to hold interest in US, Canada, a few Latin American countries, Japan and Korea. Not bad but more world interest would be nice.

Yes. So it feels like a real reg season game yo.

I actually sort of "get" cricket. We have these Australian friends who taught us to play and these other fiends with a massive backyard along a river. We play cricket with the kids when they have summer parties. It's fun. And I've nailed people by hitting the wicket from a distance on several occasions. #BeastModeCricketStyle

FCXL: remove the ST standings. This one is for real. Both teams are 0-0.

Would like to see how they converted this for baseball

For once living in the AT zone is beneficial. I could get up at 6 and watch 2/3 of this.
