Grapefruit Game Thread: Astros at Tigers

PrintHouston Astros
at Detroit Tigers
When: 1:05 p.m.
Where: Joker Marchant Stadium, Lakeland
Media: KBME 790 AM in Houston. If you subscribe to Gameday audio/mlb.tv, go here to listen. Otherwise, feel free to try to listen to KBME online, as the schedule has the game on it.
The live box isn't up yet but here's today's scoreboard, which will take you to it (this is allikazoo, I add the lineups and new info each morning. We're a winning team here at BYB, no matter what the scores are).
Tigers pitching lineup: Eddie Bonine starting
Astros pitching lineup: Wandy Rodriguez starting
Tigers batting lineup: Jackson CF, Damon DH, Ordonez RF, Cabrera 1B, Guillen LF, Raburn 3B, Laird C, Santiago 2B, Everett SS.
For anyone concerned, Brennan "Eleven Stitches" Boesch wasn't on the list of starters in the B game this morning, but maybe he'll play in later innings, who knows.
Astros batting lineup: Haven't found it yet, but Carlos Lee will not be playing because he's back in Texas rodeoing it up.
Not a lot of information about this game has been announced at the time I'm writing up the game thread (11:30 p.m. on Thursday). Of greater interest to Tigers fans is probably the "B" game that started at 10am, which Tigers first round draftee in 2009 Jacob Turner will start.

@beckjason – Great throw home by Casper Wells gets Oliver out of bases loaded jam. Basically threw home falling away towards RCF and got it there on fly

Gonna try out the new toy today
At Bat for the Droid came out today and it’s loaded on the phone. Let’s see how this puppy works.
I used it yesterday (Motorola Droid) and it works really well.
It’ll be especially nice when they get back up north and the pitch tracker is working.
I’ve had some problems with the audio feeds cutting out at times, but I attribute that to interwebs trouble, or just interference from my building at work.
Its a really good app.
Adios for now
I’ll join in on the game once I’m done with my quiz in Renal Pathophysiology. Wish me luck!

I caught my first Spring action on MLB Network last night. An inning or so of Angels/White Sox. Or as Samara would say, Wrong Sox.
Also
Lance Berkman hit the longest HR I’ve ever seen in person, a 460 foot bomb to dead center at Minute Maid Park. If you’re familiar with the dimensions of that park, it takes a bit of a poke to get it out over the hill.

Raburn at third base?
I’d love to get RR in the lineup and get him more AB’s- he’s a better hitter than half the players in the lineup, but he has conclusively proven, first in the minors and again last year in Detroit, that he is a butcher in the infield. I’d rather see him in LF, CF, RF, DH, or left out.
I agree with you
He needs as many AB’s as possible, but only in the outfield and DH. I guess ST is fine to let him work on some third base, but I’d really rather not see him there in the regular season
Nope. Maggs walked, Miggy to 1st on FC

Who made the errors, or goofs?
Just as I tuned in to the broadcast- where the Twins v Red Sox were supposed to be, the announcer said that there were back to back doubles that the OF’ers should have caught
I got that Ordonez scored, but Cabrera was out at the plate to make the third out for the Tigers
How did guillen goof?
It sounded like he doubled but Cabrera tried to score from first
Grand Cards: A blog for Tigers Cardboard and Commentary
I think he meant in the field
sounds like there were two goofs in the outfield on those back to back “doubles”
Nevermind--you meant defensively in the first. Sorry

Grand Cards: A blog for Tigers Cardboard and Commentary
Recap so far
Strohs get a run on a pair of “doubles” that apparently could have been caught. One of them by Guillen in LF, don’t know about the other yet.
Tigers come back on a double by Guillen, scoring Ordonez, but Cabrera is tagged out trying to score.
In the second, Raburn walks, and scores on a double by Laird. After a wild pitch, moving Laird to third, Santiago draws a BB. Everett hits into a double play, scoring Laird.
Funny thing, that left two outs, but ALL the Strohs ran to the dugout and had to go back. Hey, it’s spring training!
Jackson grounds out to end the inning.

Does anyone else notice a significant lag with the RSS feeds?
On iGoogle the BYB could show up hours later than it was posted (at least for me).
seems to be coming up in my google reader like it's supposed to
Director of the 2010 Free Casper Wells campaign
No Run Support
It's how Google Reader works
and, by extension, iGoogle.
Google only pings an RSS feed every X minutes. For feeds that update frequently, X is lower. I’ve got a feed that updates maybe twice a month, and Reader only pops it every once a month or so. I get both updates at once.
RSS isn’t “push”. That is, a site with an RSS feed won’t tell everyone subscribed to it “hey, I updated, so display this new content”. Instead the program subscribed to the feed will check it.
Nope.
Set by Google, nothing you can do about it. The only time I ever notice the lag is with game threads, since they’re a live thing instead of a usual story.
Outside that, all I can recommend is a separate RSS program. I use OS X, so most of my recommendations probably won’t work for you.
everyone does

You had to ask....
The Tigers didn’t have to look far tor a name that would personify the team’s longtime relationship with the city of Lakeland. The person perhaps most instrumental in the Tigers decision to invest in the Tigertown project and keep the club in the city of years to come was a real Joker – literally.
“Joker” Marchant was the popular director of Lakeland’s Park and Recreational Department. Starting as a city employee in 1939 with a job at a local swimming pool, Marchant was named Parks and Rec. director in 1946. He worked with Tigers management to establish the Tigertown complex at the former Lodwick Airport, and later worked with the team and the city to maximize the bond between the two with shared facilities and a commitment to keeping the stadium’s field one of the best-kept in the majors.
The personable, unassuming Marchant was thrilled by the honor, and so on March 12,1966 before a capacity crowd, the new stadium was officially dedicated as Joker Marchant Stadium.
I got that here
http://www.lakelandgov.net/parkrec/facilities/JokerMarchantStadium.html
and I stole it, fair and square
Well, spring training.
I never had a problem with Dan and Jim chatting. Most pitches just aren’t that exciting to talk about over radio, so it helps fill in the gaps.
