After 145 days without baseball, the Dodgers will suit up for not just one game today, but two. They will split their squad and open their spring training schedule with a pair of road games, one in Tempe against the Angels, and one in Scottsdale against the Giants. Both games begin at 12:05 p.m. PST.

Dodgers radio crew chose the wrong game to broadcast
I’m much more interested in the game against the angels
Yup, I was just thinking the same thing
by Michael White on Feb 26, 2011 10:22 AM PST up reply actions
I doubt that there will be many ST games broadcast by both crews for split games. With the other LA team broadcasting the Angels game, available to anyone in the LA area (but not me), it’s pretty logical to broadcast the other game. Not to mention these decisions would have been made before the lineups were chosen.
So maybe that should read “Dodgers chose the wrong lineup to send to Scottsboro, for radio broadcast.” Which probably wasn’t on their mind.
i guess i should say…Since im in the LA area ill listen to both

One game is against the Dodgers’ biggest rival, and the other is against the Angels. That’s why they are broadcasting the game against SF
by Eric Stephen on Feb 26, 2011 10:49 AM PST up reply actions
Right. But the Dodgers themselves didn’t take that competitive attitude so early in spring training. They didn’t choose the better lineup for the game against their biggest rival, since they’re not interested in winning on the first day. Mattingly is going to that game/lineup to see some of the minor names he’ll have very few other chances to see. There may be some reason why this group is being sent to Giants rather than Angels, but it’s probably some internal reason that doesn’t have anything much to do with competitiveness. Maybe there’s someone in the Giants organization someone wants to talk to while they’re there. Or something.
The broadcast and managing the game(s) are two totally different and unrelated things.
by Eric Stephen on Feb 26, 2011 11:05 AM PST up reply actions
The problem is that you took Brandon’s statement literally instead of figurately, I believe. I don’t think Brandon was suggesting that the game broadcast could or should be switched after the lineups were announced.
Actually I was aware of that. Equally figuratively, I was suggesting that – if this was actually of concern to the team – they could have swapped teams. I guess I didn’t initially feel I had to spell out that I didn’t in fact expect the team to do so, since they have other criteria at this point in spring training than both broadcasters and eager fans. But I guess I would hav had to spell it out if I didn’t want to get corrected. OK.

He needs to change his swing to more of an upper cut and start to pull the ball more for that to happen. Not sure a swing change can be effective in only one off season of work. It takes golfers a long time to change their swings.
I’m only watching on Gameday but it appears in the Angels game, the Dodgers made 3 outs on 3 pitches? Or is that wrong?
that's wrong

# 9 at Baseball HQ for the Angels
Comments: Tall and muscular hitter who led minors in HR in first season above Double-A. Tweaked approach to become more selective which resulted in higher BA and OBP. Has balanced swing for guy his size and has ample bat speed. Strikeouts will always occur due to holes in swing. Has seen time in OF to increase versatility, but doesn’t have much speed or defensive talent.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Led minor leagues in home runs. He is the guy who using the Angel stats, has done well against the best pitchers in the minor leagues, he is also the guy who according to G Scott is a huge A hole.

Padilla wants to be back by May 1
per Gurnick:
In a best-case scenario, Padilla will need three to four weeks before he resumes throwing, then would need the month of April to essentially go through Spring Training and rebuild arm strength with bullpen sessions and a Minor League rehab assignment.
Because he is being viewed as a reliever, Padilla’s rehab will be shorter than that of a starting pitcher.

I was surprised that virtually no one picked Monasterios to be on the 25 man roster, given all the experience he got last year.
I think most of the reason is that he is expected to start, and given the bullpen depth and that he can be sent down to the minors now, they can allow him to start every fifth day rather than get yanked back and forth between roles.

Jeezus
This game is meaningless but would’ve been nice if there weren’t just non stop scrub pitchers throwing in it.
On the other hand, maybe SF is doing the Dodgers a favor. All part of the accelerated program to get rid of the fodder.

In this case it's okay if he doesn't tell us the score

Whoa, I just found a 1985 Dick Vitale's Basketball preview mag
in my pile of boxes. Kareem on the cover! NBA and NCAA preview. More recent ones have sold on ebay for $8-10…
Anyone want to buy it? :-)

UCLA up 40-30 over AZ at halftime at a rocking Pauley Pavilion. A win by the Bruins moves them into a tie for first with the Wildcats.
weird how no one really associates Pauley Pavilion with being a tough venue. I would expect UCLA fans to have a great bball heritage. I heard there are throwbacks, what are they throwing back to?

After head to head, you go down to each next spot in the standings and see who has a better record against that team.
If both win out after today, I believe it would get weird. Both would have split with Washington, but then there could be a logjam at #4

Official word
Two-team tie
a. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.
b. Each team’s record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the !nal regular standings, and then continuing down through the
standings until one team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a
group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
c. Won-lost percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.
Multiple-team tie
a. Results of collective head-to-head competition during the regular season among the tied teams.
b. If more than two teams are still tied, each of the tied team’s record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the !nal regular season
standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a
group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure will be applied.
c. Won-lost percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.

BCG got a single
but was gunned at 2B trying to stretch it into a double.

No surprise
We knew he wasn’t up there looking for a walk!

Is Delmonico playing C
and he was just listed as IF for whatever reason?
Or is he actually playing 2B or something? He was a 2B in college, if I remember right.
SS
his error in the college world series hurt big time
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
His one out was a sacrifice bunt. D’oh!

the Gameday for the LAD-LAA game has been broken for me for ages
so I gave up on following that one and the other game is barely worth checking… so…

Dee Gordon just made a swing! And an out!
by Josie Becker on Feb 26, 2011 2:42 PM PST up reply actions
But he throws 100mph!
Gotta be worth keeping!

OT but in this Sports Illustrated 1984 Baseball preview mag I just found
the Dodgers were predicted to finish first and their piece is a feature on Carlos Diaz. Remember him? I barely do.
And Milwaukee picked to finish 3rd in the AL.
