Around SBN: Jeff Sullivan's MLB Trade Deadline Primer

Orioles vs Rays: Spring Training Game 1 @ 1:05 p.m.

We've gone from intrasquad to the Grapefruit League. It's still not the baseball I'm desperate for, but it's a step in the right direction.

Jeremy Guthrie makes the start for the Orioles against James Shields. Guthrie doesn't want you to read too much into him being the first starter, but I think it'll be nice for him to officially be able to turn the page to 2010. I have high hopes for Guts this year. Guthrie will pitch 2 innings or 35 pitches, whichever comes first.

David Hernandez, Matt Albers and Will Ohman are also scheduled to pitch today. They are fighting for bullpen spots so their performances might be the most important things about the game.

Lineup! First Lineup of 2010 (thanks to Roch)

Adam Jones CF
Cesar Izturis SS
Nick Markakis RF
Miguel Tejada 3B
Matt Wieters C
Luke Scott LF
Garrett Atkins 1B
Josh Bell DH
Justin Turner 2B

The position players will go about 5 innings, except for Matt Wieters who will come out earlier. Brian Roberts won't be making an appearance. 

The game will be broadcast locally on 105.7 The Fan. If memory serves, last year the ST games were broadcast online (unlike regular season games). Hopefully that will be the case for those of us who aren't in the listening area or don't get radio reception at work. If that doesn't work, this article states that the game will be available via webcast at raysbaseball.com. That'll do, I suppose, but I want Joe Angel! Edit: We can't listen online at The Fan. Jerks.

PLAY BALL!

I won’t be able to stream until after 2 anyway because of work stuff, but that sucks. Maybe I’ll give that raysbaseball.com a try.

I have a radio at my desk but sit in the dead center of the building and the only station I can get is 93.1.

It would be a zero-sum gain

Our pitchers still have to pitch there.

Well, it's in Florida

so: yes.

But hey – Tampa couldn’t hit all those homers, so clearly our pitchers and hitters are better than theirs in every way imaginable.

Miggy on his error

Per Roch:

“The ball just went under my glove. Juan (Samuel) told me I did everything perfectly. The ball just didn’t give me a nice bounce.”

a) If you did everything perfectly, it would have been an out
b) Are you really going to blame the ball?

I’m not worried that much about Miggy, but come on.

Actually Garrett Atkins should take note

The O’s are more likely to cut Atkins than Tejada to make room for Bell. Not that either scenario is even remotely possible but still.

"Chicks who dig home runs aren’t the ones who appeal to me, I think there’s sexiness in infield hits because they require technique.

Ahhhh! It feels good to be thread Mop-up Man from Moscow again. I've trained hard all winter for this moment.

Think this is easy? You get up, make the coffee and the omelet, fire up the toob for Euro-weenie News, check the TV guide for this evening, crack the laptop and discover that…the O’s DID NOT LOSE.

The GF wakes up, finds you unconscious with the laptop open, throws a pitcher of water in your face, you come to, she asks, “Was it your little baseball game again, honey?”

And you say: “[gurgle-gurgle] We won!”
