Guest Summaries:
Ratto discussed the lack of hitting on the A’s and how Shannon Stewart, Eric Chavez, and Bobby Crosby need to get going and be consistent hitters again for the A’s to have a chance to compete in the AL West. He and Charley also discussed how the SF Giants just simply look old and that it seems this year, teams are not afraid of Bonds and are pitching to him aggressively. Strauss discussed Chris Carpenter and how impingement and arthritis is very vague and the club should clarify the injury. He also discussed the success of Braden Looper thus far and how the team just needs to find their swing again and get rolling. Plunkett discussed the relocation of the Angels/Indians series to Milwaukee and how Milwaukee was the last place he expected to be today. He also said that the Indians have it the roughest since they sat around for days not knowing if they would play, and then were told to pack quickly and go on the road. Kepner discussed Carl Pavano’s decent pitching performances thus far. Overall, Tyler thinks that the starting pitching is indeed as shaky as people expected and Phil Hughes may be called up. He updated the condition of Chien-Ming Wang and said that he should be back by May 1st. Finally, Tyler discussed how A-Rod has come around and is the first Yankee in history to hit this many HRs this early and is looking to have a great season. Hagen discussed the Phillies poor start and how the one concern going into the season was the bullpen and that is very much a factor so far. Also, they are not hitting well with runners in scoring position and the starting pitching is performing as well as expected. Ocker discussed the relocation of the Indians home opener to Milwaukee and the the snow fall at Jacobs Field, describing the wintery scene over the weekend and how the Indians will just have to do their best to fight through this early challenge.

I am in Los Angeles this week. I was the on-site producer for Monday's special Opening Day Edition of The Show with Rob Dibble and Kevin Kennedy from Dodger Stadium. I'll be here through next Monday as Home Plate will have a special Jackie Robinson Day Edition of The Show on Sunday at Dodger Stadium. Special thanks to Associate Producer Ian Spring for updating the blog this week following Baseball Beat.
