    Vipbox has Dodgers vs Cubs scheduled for tomorrow - Feb 25th. We'll see if they lie...

    http://www.vipbox.tv/sports/baseball.html

    Also, I downloaded the vipbox app they advertise on their site for "free desktop HD Streams" - and I got whacked with browser spam and programs. Took a bit of time to remove all that crap. So, I'm not sure what we have to go through to get vipbox this year. :(

    If the Dodgers are playing the Cubs or White Sox, it is also a good idea to check WGN.

    I don't think there is the slightest chance of Puig playing in the big leagues. And if he does it will be a big mistake imo.

    Not only do I think he's not ready, there have been some talk about how he disrespected his coaches and superiors in the minor leagues. He's already entitled, and once we give him a spot, how will he react if it's taken away?

    Mainly, though, he's just too raw and needs a year in AA and we'll see.

    Plus, we need Crawford to produce for us badly. Remember our top of the order situation last season? Remember Shane putting us in a 1 out hole every inning or killing rallies when the lineup turned over? Crawford needs to solve that problem. The revolving door in LF and top of the order killed us.

    I don't think the demand for Puig is there, whereas the demand for Crawford to produce for us is a game changer. Plus, like I said--that kid needs to get his hacks and humility in AA.

    you're probably right
    but let's say -- for argument's sake -- that both kemp and crawford aren't ready for opening day
    who do you call up then?

    I wish Gameday was as accurate now as it is during the regular season.

    Moylan is in, this is one of a handful of guys that you should actually put some stock into how he performs.

    He gave up a homer to Dunn, a triple, and two walks.

    Last inning felt like 3 years. Greinke and Ryu looked good though.

    Puig K'd twice, Cruz homered so whoever guessed him gets points, and Wall seems like a homie.
