This is an awfully nice start for both Byrd and Barney. I know it's only one game, but I can't wait to hear some people on this board explain that haha

The stat nerds are trembling and cowering in a dark part of their garden apts right now.

And from what I saw, even though it's not showing on the broadcast schedule, apparently the first televised spring training game will on friday on WGN.

People never said he can't steal bases at all, he had 9 last year. But he is far from a base stealing threat.

And are we really going to have to have this discussion already on how spring training stats don't really matter?

Beliveau is pitching now, this is our replacement for Marshall, kid is scary good

Hi SJ,

Does WGN radio have a sister station in Chicago??? The Hawks are being broadcast on the station!! I NEED A BASEBALL FIX!!! ;oP

As a lefty if he can match his MiLB stats, he will be better than Marshall.

unfortunately i think it is only if you have gameday audio

Too bad there's no TV, I would have loved to seen the LaHair collision at 1B.

I know, I'm surprised they didn't do the free streaming on cubs.com for the first game of the year.

Jeff Beliveau pitching the 4th

It's free!!!

Beliveau looking a little shaky - 2 BB in a row and a 1B. 3-1, nobody out.

Another BB.

That's it for Beliveau.

Who's in, Marmol?

I'm surprised, he is usually a guy that is very good at throwing strikes and not walking guys

Hi Jerm,

Thanks!!! I misread Clarkstreet's calender, for he has Monday where Sunday should be!! I'm suing!!! ;oP

It's hard to tell what's happening just from listening to the radio broadcast.

Marmol pitched a perfect third. Rhee is in now.

Based load no outs for the A's
