Friday morning notes: Splitting up for a split squad

Two games going on at the same time today.
Tony Pena is staying in Tampa to manage the home game. Joe Girardi is going on the road to manage against the Blue Jays and watch Ivan Nova pitch.
I’m following Girardi, so I’ll be hitting the road shortly. First, a few quick notes.
• Mariano Rivera will make his spring debut on Sunday. He has a side session today and will probably make his second spring appearance either Wednesday or Thursday. “Mo is one of the few guys you allow him to tell us when he’s ready,” Girardi said.
• Yogi Berra is with the Yankees again today. As Girardi said, he’s been sitting in his usual chair, same as always.
• The Yankees seem encouraged by the way Derek Jeter is swinging the bat. Girardi said he believes Jeter is growing more comfortable with his mechanics. “I think you see it in how hard he hits the ball,” Girardi said.
• Rivera, Bartolo Colon, Sergio Mitre, Manny Banuelos and Brian Anderson are scheduled to throw sides today.
Home game
vs. Atlanta
Off the bench: C Gustavo Molina, 1B Addison Maruszak, 2B Corban Joseph, SS Carmen Angelini, 3B Bradley Suttle, LF Ray Kruml, CF none, RF none, DH Brett Gardner
In the bullpen: Rafael Soriano, Steve Garrison, Joba Chamberlain, Pedro Feliciano, Eric Wordekemper, Andrew Brackman, Hector Noesi and Luis Ayala. My guess is that everyone listed after Feliciano is a backup today.
From minor league camp: C Jhorge Liccien, INF Justin Snyder and OF Abe Almonte are up from minor league camp as backups. Actually, that very well could be Zoilo Almonte. The only thing listed was an outfielder named Almonte.
Road game
vs. Toronto
Off the bench: C Jose Gil, 1B Luke Murton, 2B Kevin Russo, SS Doug Bernier, 3B Luis Nunez, LF none, CF Melky Mesa, RF Dan Brewer, DH Kyle Higashioka
In the bullpen: David Phelps, Romulo Sanchez, Andy Sisco, Ryan Pope, Adam Warren, Daniel Turpen, D.J. Mitchell
From minor league camp: C Mitch Abeita, INF Walter Ibarra and OF Ramon Flores are up from minor league camp to be backups on the bench.
I wonder how Yogi convinced his wife to let him stay.
Great, we may see Brackman on the televised Hughes game. I wouldn’t mind seeing Liccien either. He is supposed to be one of our best defensive catchers, but no bat or he would be a better known prospect.
Also it is Hughes vs. Hanson, and both Heyward and McCann are playing. This should be good!
BRAVES lineup (1:15 @ NYY, 1230 AM): Prado -7 Conrad -4 CJ – DH McCann -2 Heyward -9 Lucas -5 Freeman -3 Schafer -8 Hernandez -6 Hanson -1

Also Freeman is playing 1B!
Erin,
She probably didn’t have a choice. There is nothing the matter with him. He is 86…that is his problem. If Carmen didn’t want him in FL., she had to keep him from going altogether. That would be my take on the situation.
Obviously, Yogi is feeling fine. They did say that the trip to the hospital to get him checked out was merely precautionary. You go, Yogi!
Hi SAS, how are you?
I really like the Braves, I wish I didn’t have work today because this game is one that I would really like to go to.
austinmac, the swimming part was just my two best friends and I – all female. And we didn’t strip on the beach and walk in the water, we took our stuff off in the water. So there was no exhibitionism going on! But in that beautiful water under the hot sun, it sure did feel good.
****************
Doreen, I definitely like my creature comforts also. Fishing wouldn’t be my idea of a good time either.

I would kill to see this game, tyf.
Yankfem,
I am good thanks. Excited about the season…even though I won’t be in NY ’til June. Our cable doesn’t offer monthly MLB, and I don’t think I want to spend $179 for the season when we won’t be here. Hopefully, the Yanks will be on national TV often.
Hope all is well with you.
Any predictions on Saturday’s cuts?
I’m thinking good-bye to the Rule 5 guys…they seemed like fish out of water here.
Time for me to get on with my day. See you later and have a good day all.
it’s hard to imagine that a single pitcher (Phil Hughes) could generate so much repetitive conversation on a blog. The kid won 18 games in his 1st year in the rotation, he’ll be better this year and have an excellent career (or he won’t).
Note to posters: leave the analysis of his every bowel movement to the pros, they know a lot more than any of you.
I am not a camping out person either. Went camping once and someone “took” my knapsack and I never got it back. That was the end of my camping life.
Yankeefem
me too. Luckily it will be on mlb.tv so I can watch the highlights when I get home from work. I was really excited to see Pedro Alvarez in Wednesday nights game, I love seeing the prospects and big names from other teams. Brian Mcann, Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman. It would be worth it to just see those three.
SAS-you’re probably right. I just thought it was so cute yesterday when he was telling the guys in the clubhouse not to tell his wife.

Glad to hear it. Are you back in Arizona?
If you want to, you can get mlb-tv monthly and can cancel at anytime. I have it for exhibition than will cancel for regular season. And pick it up again later when I am on vacation in RI in August. I love mlb-tv b/c I can be almost anywhere physically and watch games.
But luckily b/c we are the Yanks, there should be a good number of national telecasts if you decide to go that route. I too can’t wait until the season starts, both mlb and minor leagues, which will be equally as exciting this year with Killer B’s and Co. honing their crafts.
I wonder if Hank is going to give Greenberg a parting shot on his way out.
Would be funny if he did!
SAS-
That was sage advice about travelling while you can.
All too often people put their plans on hold only to find that luck has
not been kind to them.
Do at least some of while you know you’re able.
Have a good day.

I hear ya. I am supposed to head out to my Japanese mall for tea and supplies, b/c I know I can watch this game later, but the lineups are so good that I am tempted to watch the game live. Plus even though it doesn’t count, Hanson and Heyward are on my fantasy team.
“Sorry, Trisha, but, without proof, like pix, it didn’t happen.”
LMAO!!!!!!
Thankfully nobody took pictures. It was just a more spontaneous kind of thing.

Fran, I definitely am not the camping type. Again, I totally appreciate the beauty of nature and love to be out in it. Until it’s time to turn in for the night. Then I want every convenience known to human kind!

Hank will throw something at him. He can’t pass up this opportunity.
You could do worse than to have Hanson and Heyward on your fantasy team. Something makes me think that Tommy Hanson spent time on Erica’s fantasy team last season. (Or was it mine?) I believe in turning over players as often as necessary so I probably had all of them at one time or another!
Fran and I shared Nat players and they did very well by us, right Fran? There are nuggets of gold to be found on every team.

unfortunately I work from 1230-630 so ill miss the whole thing. I too got mlb.tv just for spring training games and then im cancelling it until June. Watching it on TV or on the computer just isnt the same as in person. I really like the Spring Training games because its a “home” game. It just not the same watching the Yankees play at Tropicana, the energy is just so much different and more positive for the Yankees. What I wouldnt give to go to a Yankee game in New York.

Yes, it was a good draft. I also have Latos. I must say I prefer keeper leagues. I get very attached to my players.
Trisha,
I knew you as a Yankee fan and lawyer would always be well behaved. That’s my story, and I too am sticking with it.
Fran
I love camping. We’ve literally gone camping every year since I was 5 or so. We go every Thanksgiving and it never lasts long enough. This Thanksgiving we went from tuesday thru sunday and I didnt want to come home. Thats unfortunate you had a bad experience.

I’ve never been camping and intend to keep it that way. LOL That’s definitely not my idea of a good time.
I’m a little surprised that Romulo Sanchez has not had more playing time, so they could build up some trade interest for him. Looks like he’ll just be let go after ST.

Well, get yourself to New York then tfy! Although NYS cannot in any way compare in terms of home crowd energy and “10th man” to OYS.
Also I may attend the April 5th Trenton Open House/first practice, depending on who is pitching at the Stadium. We (Yanks) have a home game vs. Minn. that evening. Sooooo, if ManBan is in Trenton that day and you still want me to get him to sign your card, I will try to do so. Therefore, I need your email, so we can touch base.

Are you one of those women whose idea of roughing it is going 2 days without make-up?
Austin-
Living in the Caribbean on a remote island for a year or so taught me something.
There is a maximum number of days you can go to the same deserted white sand beach, read a book, take a swim and drink a fifth of rum before your brain turns to complete mush, or your liver is pickled.
In my case, that turned out to be about 100 days.
Although some would say that’s the way I was before I ever got there.
Don’t believe ‘em though.

YsGuy,
Hey, watch the Texan bragging bashing. We known to be the world’s best at not boasting–among other fabulous traits.
/////
i got called away:
since you’re from the people’s republic of austin, we can’t hold you responsible for all of texas!
Erin
actually, Im in charge of the Deviled Eggs. We go with the whole family. Last year I think there were 25 of us, not including the people that made the trip up for the day. We have 4 RV’s that we spend the day cooking the turkeys, casseroles etc. and then around lunch time everyone comes out with the food they’ve cooked and we pig out around the camp fire. It truly is a blast. You have to go camping with the right people to have a good time.
GB-
What’s really bad is that they might break a nail while out there.
Then what would they do ?

*********************
No comment.
yankfem, we haven’t drafted yet. We had a weird situation last season in that league we were in gave high points for pitching and allowed endless pitching starts per season. (The year before we were confined to 200 starts, so once you hit that, they stopped your pitching!).
Well we had one player who would stockpile the best pitchers and just hold onto them until they had two-week performances and then pull them out. There was nothing that said he couldn’t do it. But not everybody caught on to being able to do that. So there were weeks where everyone else would have 5 or 6 pitchers going and he would have 12! When I caught on to it, I started picking up pitchers like crazy but most of the heavies were already his. However, it’s what brought me to the Tommy Hansons and the Matt Latoses and the Mike Leakes and the Travis Woodses of the world. Oh the Travis Woodses. I owned him for the glorious game where he almost pitched a no hitter. But my happiness was short lived since he went back down to the minors quickly when someone came off the DL.
I also had Stephen Strasburg, in fact I drafted him while he was still in the minors.
Yankeefem
Yeah, I am going to buy the card next week along with a few more and ill send it to you. Ill ask Chad to send my email to you sometime next week.

LOL When I was a kid our next door neighbors went camping every summer. I was friends with their daughter and one day I was over at their house and her mom asked her “why don’t you invite Erin to go camping with us?” Her answer was “I like her too much to put her through that”
I totally appreciate nature. Just don’t want to sleep in it.

Well, gotta entertain my off-from-school daughter.
Catch you all later!
(and play nice.

Does anyone know if there is any TV coverage today ?
Oh OK, you guys are camping in trailers vs. tents. In the Girl Scouts we used tents. I haven’t tried the postmodern way of camping. It doesn’t sound too bad though. I am in no way a girly girl. I used to collect frogs and lizards when I was a kid living in Hawaii. In NJ, I played short stop and wide receiver with the boys through grammar school until they became sexist in middle school and would no longer let me play although I was still faster and quicker than most of them.

YF-
So that’s the origin of your name ?
The quicker part is good.
I don’t know about a Woman being “faster” though. That might or might not work against you.
Enjoy, Doreen!
I have to say -
I was a GS troop leader (Brownies) for my oldest daughter in elementary school. We managed to get through 3 years of GS without ever once going camping!!!! None of the other moms of the girls lin my troop wanted to go either.
My nieces, however, are seasoned campers, since my (step) brother is an avid camper is his wife was (is) a real trooper!
And, now, to the mall!!!!
I don’t wear a stick on makeup, I keep my nails cut as short as possible because I hate hearing them click on the keys of the piano and on the computer keyboard, and I will take on just about any challenge you can give me. But I do NOT like the thought of sleeping on the ground outdoors, nor would I want to sleep in a trailer thingy. I am just not into camping. Last time I slept in a tent was when I went white water rafting, several years ago. We pitched it ourselves, in the dark. Bad idea. In the middle of the night I went into one of the cabins they rented out on the camp ground, one that wasn’t occupied, and slept on the cot.
I’m not into torture, I admit it. I want comfort. So shoot me.

I hope Bautista’s syringe doesn’t fall out of his back pocket today while he is batting.
No access to Yes out here on the west coast.
Which is why I posed the question. Obviously I was slightly joking and have more than enough intelligence to figure out the problem myself.
Just seemed odd that the split squad games would be starting at the exact same time.
Only wish I had access to Yes so I could see the game on t.v.

What? 3 years as a GS leader and no camping? That is sacrilege; how did you get away with it?
The big thing for our troop was camping and doing camping-related activities to earn badges. Can’t remember what the badges were for though. I just remember we had to know how to start and put out a fire. Useful for posting here.

I’ll pass. No chance I will give Bud Selig any money. At least not until he resigns from his position
Prufrock, I would love to see Angelini and Abe Almonte in today’s game.
I’ve given up any hope of seeing Angelini and Almonte ever improving enough to get past AA. They rank right there with Justin Snyder.
YF – he’s not sure which Almonte that is. I’d prefer it were Abe, already seen Zoilo. Angelini would appear to be down low on the depth chart. Although I would welcome seeing him again.

Bojo, I answered you in previous thread.
VY – you have a creek in your yard, seriously? Lucky dog.
YF – Don’t pay MTU any mind, you’re way too smart to be an instrument of the CIA, they chew you up and spit you out.
MTU – According to classical physics, it’s not impossible to forsee the future.That would no doubt be the CIA’s official position, too, although they are only too happy covertly to exploit the fact that this is of course nonsense meant for public consumption:D.

This may be true. However, I have never seen either with my own eyes, and would like to see them. Plus perhaps if they can be healthy going forward, they can put together good years. Almonte was playing well until he got hurt, and I hope to see him in Trenton at some point in ’11.
i was against signing lee all the way anyway, but even if i was in favor of it, i couldn’t care what reasons he gave. (i said reasons b/c the story keeps changing)
if ya ain’t with us, yer agin us, doesn’t matter why.

went to check out ocean beach here in sf this morning. couldn’t even get within 10 blocks.
amazing scenes on tv though

Too bad the latter isn’t also televised.
Planning is a good thing. I am projected to run out of wine in 2037.
“So a tsunami is about to hit the US West Coast and every news station is covering Obama’s PC on energy.

Poor thing. Prayers for his family/hometown.
US airlines canceled all flights to Japan. Maybe the Yankees will allow him to use the jet.

My mind was unspooled years ago and it had nothing to do with quantum physics or fractals.
It’s been Chaos ever since.

How bad is the tsunami supposed to hit California?
***************
Not bad at all. The small waves are moving South, San Diego area should be right about now and that’s it.
The alert system was flawless. I got text messages and phone calls from the City well in advance of the 9AM PST expected arrival time.

Good to hear, WCYF. Be safe.
Live blogging the Tsunami? It’s not even a first in here.
I’m troubled by the conflicting reports.
