Another year, another watching the scoreboard thread.
Strasburg's apparently going to start for the Nationals on Tuesday.

Strasburg's apparently going to start for the Nationals on Tuesday.
Decent first outing for Strasburg:
2 IP, 2 hits, 2 K's.
We're watching the scoreboard in spring training because ...
I started this thread the last few years even earlier than this, and I figure there are at least a few interesting storylines in spring training.Originally Posted by -tz

He just wanted to guarantee that he would start this thread.

I get more satisfaction from ending one.
I deeply apologize for starting a thread to talk about baseball on a baseball forum. Forgive me.
How's his stuff?
I remember last year I started a countdown to the postseason thread with about two months to go in the season. On man were people angry. You'd think they were being charged per thread or something. It was quite funny actually to see how upset they got over something so innocent and inconsequential to their daily lives. Some people just like to bitch for no good reason I guess.
P.S. I'll be starting the same thread at the same time this year. I figure we won the world series with it last year, so....

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a "watching the scoreboard" thread. I just think it ought to be started when there's actually some meaning to what's on the scoreboard.
And if you want to post a random observation like how Strasburg did in a ST game, there's plenty of other places that could go. How is that even relevant to the "scoreboard"?
To be fair, not many performance threads in ITL are started in April.
If starting it this early was a bad idea, I apologize, but I guess it can go without any replies for a while if need be.
Target Field looks like a very nice place. And C*rl P*vano looked good today, too.

Yeah but did you see all those home runs?!?!? Bandbox!!! Embarrassment to baseball!!!!
Haha! I was thinking the same thing. I guarantee that you won't hear that complaint.

Two home runs for Pujols so far. I haven't been totally watching the STL/CIN game, but it seems very sloppy.
Phillies lead the Nats 11-1. Nationals actually scored off of Halladay in the first inning. The Nationals announcers are totally terrible, BTW.
But have you seen the MASN Nationals commercials? They're horrifying.
Two homers? Man's a beast.

6 rbi's for Polanco
Shaun Marcum has a no hitter through 6 1/3 innings in Texas. This guy missed the entire 2009 season. It doesn't look like a fluke either, he's dealing.
EDIT: As I hit post, Vladdy singles.
Defending World Series Champions
Shaun Marcum on the Blue Jays has a no-hitter into the seventh against the Rangers. Jinx?
ETA: Jeter Kid beat me to it.
I just called Nelson Cruz's 3 run HR off of Marcum on my buddy's facebook wall.
Grand slam for Yadier Molina
first official comic error for the Royals
Heyward with a no-doubt three-run homer in his first MLB at-bat. That kid is gonna be fun to watch.
I don't remember jumping over any guns. Just picking them up and shooting them in the air in a rootin' tootin' fashion. -bcom33
Heyward gets an insane ovation before his first MLB AB and goes deep.
................ing awesome
That Heyward blast was awesome. I'm a big fan of the kid. (And I'd say that even if it wasn't against one of my least favorite players.)
Cox has Melky batting leadoff. That seems like an odd choice.
I hate walks.
The order is a bit strange... McLouth batting 8th?
That Heyward blast was a thrill to watch
Interesting 9th inning in Texas.
Holy Jason Heyward, Batman!
Heyward three run bomb in his first AB
I'm not certain if it's been reported in this thread, but Heyward hit a HR.
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
Down goes Frasor.

Through his first 30 pitches Verlander has hit 100 three times and is throwing nasty 90mph changeups to go along with his 85mph curve.
Brings visions of '08 Joba....

Zambrano wasn't too impressive today
1.1 IP, 6 H, 8 R/ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 HR
Pujols is on pace for a mere 324 home runs.
He also gave up a HR to Yuniesky friggin BetancourtThrough his first 30 pitches Verlander has hit 100 three times and is throwing nasty 90mph changeups to go along with his 85mph curve.
Brings visions of '08 Joba....
I know, he hit it seconds after I posted.
Though I think I'd still take 240 IP of 133 ERA+, 269 strikeouts and a 1.17 WHIP.
"I see Jesus Montero as a potential once-in-a-generation force on offense."
Carlos Gomez 4-5 with a bomb
Verlander keeps hitting 99 and 100, gross.
A lot of his pitches right now aren't very well-located though =/
Verlander getting lit!
Oh MAN MLB.TV looks sharp on this 27" iMac.

The Tigers announcers just said Damon will be faster on the basepaths and in the field than Granderson was. Umm, are they aware that Johnny isn't 32 anymore?

Just saw Heyward's homer. Good lord that's ridiculous bat speed.

Ajax with his first ML hit and RBI, and Damon followed it up with a double to take the lead against the Royals.

Greinke 6IP, 1ER, no decision.
He deserves to be on a better team.
Cashman should swoop in and rescue him.
lolRoyals. God I missed this so much.
