I'm going to attempt a game thread here - as much as anything, testing things for the regular season...but since I'm free this afternoon...

[donaldorc]

I'm watching the live feed from the U. of Tampa, the link that you provided. I'm in Switzerland, and love the starting times of these spring games! I just had dinner and am ready to settle in for a game.

[julio]

Are you getting any audio? I have lovely video, but...silence.

[donaldorc]

No audio for me either, even though my tab shows a speaker icon.

[julio]

Ok. I'm hoping they just haven't started the audio yet...

[donaldorc]

Phillie Phanatic having fun with the Spartan mascot.

[julio]

The field mic is now open; faint audio as they organize what looks like a ceremonial first pitch...

[donaldorc]

I've got audio now.

That looks suspiciously like the LHV starting lineup. Hopefully they can beat a low level college team since we expect that AAA team to be extremely loaded with prospects.
