Time to adjust your sets, because the Royals are on tellyvision today (albeit on the ever-popular tape delay).
Where: MLB Network. Find out if it's carried in your area by using the channel locator here.
When do they roll the tape: 8:30 PM EDT, 7:30 PM CDT, etc.
Gametime: 4:00 EDT, 3:00 CDT, sometime or other in Arizona, 1:00 PDT.
The set-up: Royals in Scottsdale to face the Giants. Luke Hochevar starts, with Heath Phillips and Jimmy Gobble to follow. Barry Zito for the contractually obligated Giants.
Also available live via MLB.TV and Gameday audio.

I hope we put a big league lineup out there today
what with being on TV an’all.
The Allard Baird of incisive internet discourse.
my schedule says MLB Network won't show it until 8:30 EST
“Tape delay”
Looks like it’s more important to show 3 straight “30 clubs in 30 days” programs.
Can’t even get on national tv live…

Also
My onscreen guide says “blackout”. Whatever that means in ST context. Let’s see, both teams are actually away from their home market and stadium. Am I missing something? It will be absurd if people in KC or SF can’t see this game on tv for some reason.
The General Theory of Royaltivity
Well, I'm currently in the Philly region
and the ST game earlier today was blacked out because it was on a local channel. So maybe only if it’s on elsewhere. MLBN seems like they just take the local feed too.

I have DishNetwork...
Any updates on when I will get MLB tv?
On a side note, the Mariners and Dodgers games on Wednesday and Friday will be on DishNetwork. :)
That's why we play the season on paper.

Yes, MLB.com will be live. But of course you can also play the archive 4½ hours after gametime, if you wish.
Per my mlb.com screen
this game WON’T be available in video or radio
I guess I have to wait until 8
is this right?
The General Theory of Royaltivity
You're right!
I stand corrected. Seems my IE was locking up or something. I can’t believe I would have any kinds of Windows problem /sarcasm.

before I get any smartalec answers
I know it starts at 3 but I’ve been waiting forever!
That's why we play the season on paper.
smart alec answer
It is physically impossible for you to have been waiting “forever”.

Waiting for April.
Well, you could knock me over with a television
because this game is on live here on Comcast Sports Network, with as DC Royals said the Giants announcers.
The ups and downs of fandom have got me reeling.

ouch. That's all they've got though.
Harbor Barry Bonds and his roids for a few years and that’s what happens to a franchise.
That's why we play the season on paper.
more like blackball Bonds and that's what happens to your horrendous offense

pitch F/X
showing Zito throws his changeup from slightly higher slot than his “fastball.”

Dumbass Double Steal

It Didn't Really
Work; TPJ was out by 10’, but the 3B dropped the ball.

I thought
the double steal was TPJ and Coco?
Luckily their 3B is apparently a converted catcher. That’s weird.
The General Theory of Royaltivity
No
Last year his average FB pitch speed was 89 mph

Anything over 87 today.

Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.

Olivo picked off
Hopefully this is NOT a sign of bonehead base running skills again this year. I mean many, or most, on the team, not just Olivo.

He likes to pitch out of the stretch.

Still a nice outing

He was in the
Yankee and Rays farm last year. Pitched in six games for the White Sox in 07 after coming through their system according to the cube.

new lineup
C: Olivo
1B: Kila
2B: Teahen
3B: Callaspo
SS: L. Hernandez
LF: Lubanski
CF: Mitch
RF: Bloomie
Founder of the Johnny Giavotella fan club.
Are Teahen and Callaspo really that way round?
Give it up already…
The Allard Baird of incisive internet discourse.
I Thought That
Was Bloomers in RF. The announcers ID’d him as Teahen.

Heath Philips is a weird pitcher
I get the impression he’s pitching below bat speed, ala Jamie Moyer

They're Not Getting
Many good swings on him.

The atmosphere was different last year
without Barry.
Rowand says that it’s different again this year because nobody’s asking about whether it’s different without Barry.
That right there is your second-order effect.
Or Just Bullshit

Jacobs just blasts a homer in the first inning again!
I know it’s tape delay, but I can dream it’s the second game of the double header!
