It takes a while for pitchers to get ready.
Beimel was idle until about a week ago, so they’ll give him some time in AAA.
He was not in camp
…you know what I mean. I know players work out during the offseason and all that.
he has been on a throwing program since December
it isn’t just working out. he was ready physically, just needed to see some live batters.
Right
However, most teams prefer their pitchers see live batters for more than a week before throwing them out there to start the season — there’s a reason why spring training is a month long. I generally agree with you that Beimel should be in the bullpen, but having him spend a week or two in AAA to start the season is defensible.
Not if it wastes an option on a prospect.
Oh, and spring training is a month long to stretch out starters, not to get your pen pitchers ready.
All of our prospects sans Reynolds have already been optioned.
Calling them up and down now won’;t matter. THey’re already used.
by Greg Stanwood on Apr 3, 2010 2:59 PM MDT up reply actions
I think
optioning a player out to start the season uses an option, so whether somebody gets optioned out today or on April 20, it’s going to use an option.

She's fed concepts, and though she's getting better, half the time she sounds like she's hosting Rockies All Access during the broadcast.
She does fine on that show, for what it’s worth. The problem is that during the broadcast, she’s just a waste of space and time. Just like Bleyer, just like Thompson, and everyone else they put out there.

so you're more against the concept of a reporter
than you are against Alanna.

"I mean come on, you can’t be from Nebraska and go to school at CU, I think they take away your overalls or one of your last remaining teeth for that."
I think somebody can do that job well.
And no, I’m very much against Alanna in the broadcast. I’m against the job too, but I’m also angry with her presence. As I’ve explained many times, a big part of it is because I simply think she is being used, and would be better served in a job where her purpose wasn’t to please Charlie77 or whoever is watching.

Oh, she totally asks players her own questions and such.
That wasn’t what I meant. I meant that the producers basically go tell her to grab so and sound amuse the crowd. We don’t want to bore everyone with lots of athletic men running around. It’s just cringeworthy.

It's sad, but there haven't been very many.
They’re usually hired for eye candy and flavor, because they fee; most of the audience is horny middle aged men. I wish, if they really decided they needed a female announcer, they’d hire one who did more than that, and provided something special to the broadcast. I’d really like to see a team give the game calling duties to a woman. Of course, most people would probably complain about it.

Precisely.
MLB broadcasts (in fact, nearly ever sports broadcast on cable) is catered to exclusively by the network for a 35+ male demographic.

Thats just being simple..
Alanna has worked her way through the industry. She’s put time in Wisconsin for Pete’s sake.

She's not unqualified to do sports reporting.
I just feel she’s simply got no place in a live broadcast of a game.

I'm no fan of the eye candy bimbos either
but out of a bad breed, Alanna’s the best (IMHO)

relatively speaking
and if compared to sideline reporters in football and most other female reporters in baseball, she is the patron saint of reporting.

It’s not as if I were comparing her to people I haven’t seen to begin with. Hardly any hypocrisy here. The point is that one doesn’t need a reference point to come to a conclusion.

My point is that you said your standards were higher,
so I was trying to understand what your scale is if you don’t watch.

My point was that if I saw a ton of people worse than Alanna, my standards may change.
They also may not. But I don’t need to watch regular sports broadcasts (with the exception of baseball, any other broadcast I watch has generally been simply for analysis at school) to have a legitimate dislike for a particular reporter.
by Greg Stanwood on Apr 3, 2010 3:06 PM MDT up reply actions
haha yeah that's probably true
I don’t have any expectations for them though. They aren’t supposed to analyze anything, they are just supposed to state fact…..there’s really nothing to it as far as I can see.

So my brother just called to ask me all about the Rockies this year
and wondered who was this Manimal names Brad Eldred.
He also asked, what is the least number of pitches ever thrown in a majored league game? anyone?

I remember Cook threw like 77 pitches in a complete game once..
That was a while back.. but I’m sure that’s not a record.

against the Pads?

I was telling him that.
I guess theoretically it would be 27 pitches if all were immediate outs. Also, not just Rockies games but like ever

did very well
pwned the first two, walked the third, should have gotten the third out but the runner beat the fielder’s choice, then got a weak grounder from the last guy, so he got 4 outs
