PrintWow. We are really desperate for baseball when people keep reloading box score pages to find out what's happening in a game.
So be it then!
Load this link, then keep hitting refresh. And then use your fancy baseball detective skills to find out things like Matusz striking out the side in the first inning.

so here's a detective question
niemann has recorded 6 outs, but his groundout/flyout numbers are 4-1, and he has no Ks. how was the 6th batter retired?

yea...somebody has to get on base for that to happen.
and considering who we’ve got playing today, its not likely.
Whoops

Matusz’s second inning
By Roch Kubatko on March 4, 2010 1:32 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
Niemann retired the side in order in the top of the second, with Brandon Snyder flying to deep center to end the inning.
The Rays took a 2-1 lead against Brian Matusz in the bottom of the inning, with Sean Rodriguez homering on the left-hander’s 36th pitch and ending his day.
Carlos Pena reached on second baseman Blake Davis’ error leading off the bottom of the second. Pat Burrell struck out, but Sean Rodriguez ran the count full before clearing the fence in right field.
Matusz reached his pitch count and was removed for Ross Wolf. He threw 36 pitches, 28 for strikes.
Burrell was so far out in front of a changeup, I think he swung at it twice.

Dont know how accurate this is...
according to my iPhone, Pie is the only Orioles batter to face more than 1 pitch
Sean Rodruguez's line in the minors last year
.294 Avg
385 ABs
30 HRs
122 Ks
1.005 OPS
so at least he’s not a slouch..
We should have targeted him for a trade.
He’s a good SS prospect, even though he’s played 2B lately.
Bruce Springsteen rules.
Roch is useful for once

Pie just tripled – and then this:
Pie appeared to be favoring his leg as he pulled into third base, and Juan Samuel immediately checked on him. Now he’ll receive some unwanted attention – the medical kind.
Pie triples...
…and is apparently favoring his leg. Matt Angle was put in to pinch-run.

Lou was up in the first inning.
He did not hit.
DEAL WITH IT!

I heard on 105.7 on my way home
Felix’s quad tightened up a bit. If it were a regular season game he would have stayed in but since it’s ST they figured better safe than sorry. Felix said, and I quote, “I’m not hurt or nothing.”
And can you even believe I was in training at work all day and missed his HR and 3B? Now I know how my mom felt when she had to miss my soccer games because she was at work.
"It feels like home,’’ Pie said. "All my friends are here."
1-2-3, 8-pitch inning for Koji. 2 FO, 1 GO.

From Roch:
Koji Uehara breezed through the third inning, throwing six of his eight pitches for strikes.

Koji was headed towards a production and effective 2010
and then he got behind the wheel of a Toyota…
Lou can't field.
The Rays extended their lead to 3-1 on doubles by Evan Longoria and Pat Burrell. Right fielder Lou Montanez had trouble tracking Longoria’s fly ball and couldn’t get to it. Burrell’s hit was legit.
Deal with it.

it'll save us from buying some new baseballs or something
although i doubt we could even get a new baseball for him. it’d have to be a used one.
I would have liked to trade him last year because of the disruption issue
But now that doesnt seem like its an issue. Its been pretty clear that he’s not really in the picture. We’d only be able to flip him for a similar (read: not good) prospect. I wouldn’t mind it if the right offer came along, but i dont see any reason to actively shop him.
i wish you could trade for draft picks
in which case his ass would soo be gone for a late round pick
what is even the point of an extra late round pick
By that point people are just drafting organizational filler a lot anyways.

you never know tho
you might find something good. or if anything, its just a new, younger organizational filler to take the place of the old one that can’t hit.
This is true
It’s like buying a dollar scratch off ticket. Sure, there’s a chance you’ll get zero return, but even the possibility of getting something decent back in return is worth more than the dollar.
2 cents?
Why would you leave 2 cents out of a bet? You are better off betting it all so if you lose you just get your 10 back.
Yea I didnt do much work today
I’m leaving tomorrow for vacay, so today I had to take it easy. You know how it is…
yea...spring break starts tomorrow for me
interview next week then headed to the beach…..no motivation to do any work
So does YES
Michael Kay was making a pretty good ass of himself yesterday because the Yankees won on a walk-off home run by Colin…or was it Curtis…or…uh…some dude.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
2 IP or 35 pitches
is the limit first go-around. That’s what Guts was on yesterday.

Actually, it spells TWTF

saw this link on dKos yesterday
All of them are actual acronyms. An excerpt:

Apparently, "MURDERX" was already taken.

After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF

that works too
but i was just putting the rest of my life in google calendar, and saw that it indeed spells WTF
2-RBI double by Lou, looks like.

He's not anonymous.
That would be Derek “Hobbie” Klivian.

Roch is such a douche
Justin Turner homered to right field leading off the top of the ninth to tie the game, 5-5.
He must not have gotten the memo about sportswriters hating extra innings in spring training.
Oh, Roch, your life is so hard.
Even in jest, it’s a douchey thing to say.
Also, how would Roch know what sportswriters like and don’t like?

that
and espn still hasnt changed the score of the game yet. apparently the braves game already ended and even with constant refreshing, it still says bottom 8th
Rays walk off on a triple + single combo.
Oh well.

guess that saves extra innings
phew….roch can go back to all that hard work he does. glad i canceled that bet.
lol...dusty baker....what a character
explaining why he’s going to pitch chapman out of the bullpen:
Plus if we pitch him later, the fans stick around and drink more beer.
Damn, missed it
I’m on Titov time, had to get my 5 yo to bed, and I fell asleep. Still, I very much enjoyed the thread, top to bottom. Name of the pilot from Star Wars definitely goes in the “What I Learned Today” bin. Can’t complain about the game, very few surprises—Matusz is awesome but has to learn how to get through 2 on less than 36 pitches; Pie rakes, so what the hell are we going to do with him?; Lou can hit, so what the hell are we going to do with him?; Koji will make a heck of a middle reliever; Sean Rodriguez is proof that the Rays are still schooled in the Oriole Way; and Hendo—WTF?
The loss—who cares? Did I miss anything?
You're welcome on the pilot, lol.
Matusz was intentionally throwing almost nothing but fastballs and got squeezed, resulting in the epic 13-pitch AB vs. Longoria. So I don’t expect that to be a regular problem.
