Gosh, and they went into extra innings. I don’t think I mind not hearing a Mariner pitcher walk the world in the 10th, however.

No way Guti is batting as deep as seven.
That’s Lopez spot unless he can prove he can tell the difference between a strike and ball.

Rob is the second string catcher. Wak has said as much in my interpetation.
He may open the season catching the first game, but simply because Felix is on the mound. Rob is Felix’s catcher.
Bard will get most the time unless Moore simply shows it would be stupid to send him down, regardless of available options, due to his offense.
Until Ichiro is unable to get his 200 hits a year, he will bat first.

Well, Rick, they’re very similar pitchers, so it’s understandable.

Did anyone else notice that Dave referred to Fister as Lincecum twice in the first inning?

So is Lopez just the third baseman now or what? It's an experiment, and it's still early. It's going to be a while before they make up their minds:

Wak was asked by a national writer what the "drop dead" date was for the infield experiment. Wak gave a date later than expected, the middle of Cactus League play

Langerhans goes 0-0, 3 BB, 1 R.

Unsure if he even brought a bat to the plate.

Not that it mattered, I guess.

JLB: You can get Gameday Audio from MLB.com without any blackout restrictions anywhere.

MLB.TV, on the other hand, has the blackout restrictions and you’d need to do some kind of internet proxy shenanigans to watch M’s games on it anywhere near Seattle. Although I’m not sure if archived games have the restriction…I don’t think so.
