Time: 1:05 p.m.
Media: None
Tigers' tentative pitching order:
Phil Coke, Eddie Bonine, Enrique Gonzalez, Cody Satterwhite, Fu-Te Ni and Joel Zumaya.
Tigers' tentative batting order:
1. Austin Jackson (CF)
2. Johnny Damon (LF)
3. Magglio Ordonez (RF)
4. Miguel Cabrera (1B)
5. Carlos Guillen (DH)

Ah, at last! We have actual baseball being played. This is like a pre-exhibition game. Technically, the Grapefruit League doesn't open until Wednesday when the Tigers face the Jays. But who's going to worry about technicalities when there is baseball. Being played.
A quick word about the the Tigers' opponents: Florida Southern -- located in Lakeland -- is ranked No. 1 in Division 2 and enters the game with a 13- 1 record.
The Tigers' initial batting order looks a lot like what I expect it will look like during the regular season opener, just sub in third baseman Brandon Inge at the No. 6 spot.
Pitcher Phil Coke will be making his Tigers' debut after being brought over in the winter meetings trade in December. Austin Jackson, Johnny Damon and Kory Casto will also be putting on the Tigers uniform in competition for the first time.
Since we don't know yet how we'll be able to track what happens in this game, here's a link to the FSC's LiveStats page, which may or may not be up and running. The scoreboard on mlb.com is here. -Alli

No updating box score on yahoo or MLB.com?

Wow
His high school numbers are ridiculous!
A little quick research reveals that we drafted him out of high school in the 25th round, but he decided to enroll in FSU instead.
A lifelong Tigers fan
Which means we can't draft him again, right?
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 2, 2010 1:08 PM EST up reply actions
I don't think so
I’m pretty sure he could be redrafted by the Tigers, but they’d have to wait until his Junior-year draft.
saw him play a bunch in high school
not very good competition and he was TINY (a lot smaller than he is now). Not that size really matters a whole lot , but he made the right move to enroll in school instead.

first game thread!!
so pumped for this season! I think this roster gives us a lot of reasons to be optimistic…I am really looking forward to seeing the upside to Austin Jackson he looks strong from the video I have seen..I think this team has a great line-up, rotation, and a pen that could be strong..now lets win this division and not have it come down to the last weekend this year..
I thought it was Perrysburg?
Maybe that comes from living so close to it. Now I feel dumb.
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 2, 2010 1:06 PM EST up reply actions
Hey I could be wrong
It probably is Perrysbug anyway, because a Pittsburgher would’ve put the H at the end…
a little help
can someone please post a link to live scoring? so I can be lazy and not have to search for it?
what, you can't appreciate the graphics straight out of a Tandy hand held game from the 80s?

For, lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

I don’t think it’s too early to predict that the Tigers are going to win the next 5 World Series based on this performance.

I've got a feeling
Kelly is going to make the team out of camp. He’s got too much UTIL value not to.

Ack!
We’re gonna need to send the Raburn complaint form to the FSU people. They spelled his name wrong.
I was just about to request that :)

Goodnight, Maggs, Miggy and Damon. Enjoy the rest of your afternoons.
Gotta say, it warms my heart to see news of miggy and carlos with back to back doubles
I don’t care who it’s against :)
And demerits to Florida Southern for the following from their awesomely auto refreshing live game site:
Rayburn to lf for Damon.

sorry...
I’m obligated to shop at Meijer.

I shop at both
Mostly Kroger because I work there and it’s closer to my house, but Meijer has Fruit 2 O in bulk and Kroger doesn’t.
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 2, 2010 1:39 PM EST up reply actions
I'd feel worse if I went and shopped at Walmart...
Kroger’s mostly out of my way. I just do whatever shopping I need to do after work mostly, so Meijer it is.

I try to avoid Walmart if I can
The Walmart near my house is full of really stupid people and driving through the parking lot is like navigating an obstacle course

So
apparently we’re going to need an overflow at some point. For a pre-preseason game. Against a Division II University. I think we all need professional help.
I feel like that could really take off...
you know, if he’s good and all :)

So I bought a new acoustic guitar...
with the intent of learning some songs by other artists and I’ve discovered that I really hate playing other peoples songs.
At least I still have a shiny new guitar. :)

If Coke pitches well
I think it will put some of the other #5 starter candidates behind the eightball.

Roof=Sparty
Roof is a former Sparty catcher: http://www.wilx.com/sports/headlines/47613537.html
I definitely watched him play versus the Chippewas a couple of times.
made fun of his name. Now I feel bad….but I guess that’s his fault for poor college selection, right? :)
you guys need to tell me if the page slows down for you
I don’t remember where to cut off and start a new thread. 400ish?
You know it's been a long offseason when...
an overflow thread is expected for a spring training game that no one can actually watch.

Beck's twitter
said the Strieby HR went halfway up the LF berm. Spring Training – the only time of the year where the word “berm” is used regularly.
It's the grassy area behind the fence
since I live in Dallas, I’m contractually obligated to call it a grassy knoll.
FYI
Pirates/Manatees ended after 7 innings. Must feel good to be above .500

Bad injury for #Tigers. Wind-blown fly ball fooled Brennan Boesch and hit him, seemingly in the face.
